Preventive maintenance used to be a routine part of business but over the last twenty years but "drive it like a rented mule" to maximize quarterly profits has become the norm. Its good to see some owner operators are looking forward beyond the next report. I always enjoyed the look of surprise on the MBAs face when the machinery failed "unpredictably". Who could have known? :)

I look forward to your video about injection wells. As you no doubt heard, several years ago Oklahoma started having lots of earthquakes and a lot of injection wells were shutdown. Once the injection wells were stopped in the areas where the earthquakes were centered, the earthquake problem pretty much stopped. Though within the last month there as another earthquake and some more injection wells were shutdown where the earthquake was centered.

Zach I have ownership of a very small part of a couple of leases that someone pays me (not very much) to use. I inherited these shares from my Great Uncle who was a geologist in the Texas oil fields in the early 1900's. So your videos are very interesting to me. I just watched your video about the old Oklahoma jack pump from 2022. I like that you are still running that old pump that your Grandfather and Great Grandfather drilled in the 1950's! Plus where else would I have learned about jack pumps? Thanks for your videos.

Good clear video. If the water that comes up with the oil in your wells is anything like the water that comes up with the oil in the 90 year old oil field I grew up in, you DO not want it spilled on the ground. There are still bare spots around where the water was spilled on the ground 90 years ago. And this is in Oklahoma, not in the desert.

Iworked in plant that was plumbed with stainless and titanium pipe from 1/8” all the way up to 30” pipe. All the big stuff was flanged with stainless bolts and nuts. Brother if you think stainless galls badly try titanium! We never did solve the galling completely. But we did reduce it by adding molybdenum powder to nickel based antisieze . It really helped but i don’t think galling can be completely stopped. The new camera has a lot better image.

I use cheap Akaso action cameras. They have their quirks like they only work with their own brand of external microphone and don't have any cordless mic option. But out of the 4 that I have only one gives me trouble and that is because it was in a bicycle crash and hit asphalt lens first in a 15 mph crash. I have 2 older Brave 7 LE's w/o external mic support, 1 Brave 7 LE with external mic support, and a Brave 6 plus with external mic support. I've never lost a single clip, audio or video. For under $200 each I'm happy.

I typically work on bigger wells in the industry, but always enjoy your videos mate - keep up the great work! PS. are you injecting fresh water or produced water (ie. saline)? If it has a decent amount of salinity, you'll want to ensure your injection water is relatively de-oxygenated, or it'll eat through your stainless quicker than you'd think! (pitting corrosion)

I am wondering how your wife keeps your clothes clean and stain free Zach ?? I like to congratulate you on your keeping things leak free. Dissimilar metal corrosion can be a bitch when you do not know the different grade stainless alloys. The 304 or 316 ST/S should not corrode brass. But one does not really know the different chemicals in the fluid that facilitate galvanic action. I personally just love stainless, once and done for our lifetime. The 316 one to two inch reduction nipple your changed Zach, what is the proper name of the coupling ?? Nice work fella. Shame you do not live close to me as I would just love to work with you on the wells. A job that is never done. Peace and out. vf 😀😀😀

1st, I have cheap 60$ Chinese go pro knockoffs that have never failed me. 2nd, on those steel nuts that gey rusted in place, get some molybdenum disulphide powder and mix it with rubbing alcohol and use a Dremel tool to polish it onto the steel, this will reduce corrosion and create a dry film lubricant.
