We're in Bexar county, this line is going to connect
Comal county and Bexar county
and bring water from Comal into Bexar county
which is a big issue around Texas is water.
For us to be apart of this project is a big deal for us.
We're installing a 42" casing about 1500 feet,
probably elevation change of about 90 feet.
We reamed out a 60" hole
then swabbed it, and now
were about to start pulling product today.
Some of the other big projects we just completed was
a Fasken oil project in Midland, Texas.
It was a 8,400 foot shot
before we did an intersect with a Vermeer million pound rig,
a Vermeer 500 pound and a R9x12T reclaimer.
On the big rig side we use a reclaimer
with just about every rig
and with the D100s we use a Reclaimer on those.
Every time we add a rig we have to use a reclaimer.
We are starting to use on the big rig side depending on the pipe size
because of the size of the holes that we cut.
We're starting to use two reclaimers together,
that is helping us with our mud haul off
and now we're actually pumping more gallons per minute downhole.
The D1000 and the R9 are what we rely on
extensively day-by-day.
It's a very reliable machine, a powerful machine
We've done some of the longest crossing in the country
and processed some of the biggest holes in the country
with the Vermeer D1000.
The Vermeer R9 has the capacity to keep up
with the mud and reclaim it so we can
keep pumping downhole.
It's just two great units together.
With safety, at Hard Rock it's one of our top priorities.
We received a Platinum Award from Texas Mutual
out of 87,000 policy holders,
they picked 45 throughout Texas.
so we're really proud of that.
It's the culture we have
at Hard Rock to keep things safe and watch each others back.
To see Hard Rock go from in 2003 with one D80,
that we named Betsy
and now we're up to 21 machines.
Our crews love to run Vermeer
They are familiar with them, it's what they know.
They are proud to run Vermeer.
Vermeer is apart of the Hard Rock family.
