Exclamation Road Trip

I'll be starting my Road Trip from Houston to Canada on Tuesday this week.
I will be up in Red Deer on July 5-6th and Calgary a few days after that.

Here's my route



I'll be driving this



If you see me on the road next week, give me a wave

Now, what side of the road do you drive on over here?

The back is a cabin fitted out with computers. The truck is a Wireline Unit used in the oilfield. It has a large drum of cable that allows you to run electronic tools down oilwells.

If anyone is really interested, go to our company website www.asepgroup.com to see what Wireline Units do.

I see you're coming through Dallas.

Youll probably be taking 35, and I would suggest trying to avoid that if possible

Well the route takes me on the I-45 from Houston then I have to take the I-30 and 35N up to Oklahoma City.
I actually drove that last month when I went up to Weatherford Ok. and I know what a pain it is.
All part of the fun though. I don't have to rush to get there.

Adam,

It's summer time. The very best time to be driving a "Big Truck" through Dallas. Just keep looking down and to the left as frequently as possible. The view will very memorable. You may even get a few surprises.

Ah, that shouldnt be too bad then.

I-30 is also under construction and the lanes are pretty narrow, so that might be fun

Okay.... the Geologist in me wants to know what you're looking for in the well? General construction? You going down open hole or set well? Depths?

Well RP, that's a big question that covers a lot of ground

The question is probably best answered by some of the links pasted here

These will take you through the whole formation evaluation scenario as applied to Oil Wells.

Enjoy

P.S. There's good money in it
