It wasn’t lost on me that I just viewed something that probably only 20,000 people in all history have been able to witness. Ah-mazing! Many thanks!! Joe Cannon Guelph, Ontario
Incredibly interesting video if I were a young person just starting out I think that I would pick this job as a career. Oh, great job on the narration.
Be nice to have an articulated camera head, so it could pan around to inspect horizontal anomalies. Regarding Carbonate build up. I guess a drill needs to be sent down every once in awhile to ream out the crud. I wonder if metering a sequestrant or a ph reducer at the bottom of the well would be effective in minimising build up of carbonates.
wow this was a great set of videos! we have A LOT in common. I would highly enjoy a conversation with you. no doubt we could speak extensively about liquid light optics. PM anytime. cheers!
Because of pressure. Water boiling point depends on pressure and temperature. Room temperature water boils in vacuum, for example. This is something you learn in 6th grade.
I agree with a post below this, while the video is great, I don't understand most of what the voice over is talking about (ok, some of it is easy to deduce). Most of the terms are by nature related to drilling/oil/gas/etc., industry, but a quick explanation or perhaps a similar term could be used. It would be interesting to see some of the bizarre things encountered while using the down hole camera (fish...skeleton hand waving....lost drilling workers....caverns where there aren't supposed to be any...gold/silver/diamonds...). Informative! Thanks!
If only there was a tool of some type on the internet that one could use to input a term or phrase they don't understand and get an answer....maybe even show you some videos, pictures, encyclopedic literature, etc. That would be a cool tool to use.
@bean I am always grateful to get information that adds to a better understanding of a particular field or subject, be it four minutes or four years. Was I checking each day for a response to my comment, no. I may not have much of a life, but I do have other interests and pursuits in the meantime. Let's just say that I trusted that someone smarter than I would be gracious enough to provide a response, even if it took them four years to find me.
Human just need some energy to survive/civilization on this planet; why humans have such different views on how to get that energy? We are all such insignificant creatures in UNIVERSES, why we think we can “save” the planet?
This is probably the most informative video on the topic in all of RUclips. Good Job!
First time I've ever seen down a well. Very cool.
This is an amazing set of videos that give clear visulisation of the cases we usually see described as schemes!
These two videos are so AWESOME!!! I have always wondered what the inside of an oil well looks like! Now I know just a tiny bit more, thank you!
What a awesome video for a old production hand. I always wondered what it look like down hole.
10:14
"Knocked that down the hole...no extra charge"
LOL
Very interesting and informative. Thank you. I've always wondered what a borehole wall looks like

"And here we have a happy little tree..." He's the Bob Ross of narrators. Interesting videos anyhow. ;)
LOLOL!!! You're totally right. I didn't notice until you mentioned it.

It's like giving Mother Earth a colonoscopy!
but you really hope she doesn't cough while you check down there! haha
this dude's voice man....... very nice
I'm sure this videos wouldn't be a quarter of what they are if it wasn't for the commentary!
Fascinating. Thank you for posting.
Idk how I found this but it was interesting
Nice vid and the commentary is really nice +1

Thanks for the great video
great videos, thank you

interesting science and engineering, regardless of whether you like oil extraction or not.
Beats the heck out of an impressioning tool!
Thanks that was a really cool video
Wow. That's a really interesting insight into some of the problems arising from getting long dead plants and animals up to the surface again.
That's one unconfirmed theory.
Love it!!
thank you
I wish we had had this technology back in the Eighties.
what camera did u used @longfellow01? is it special equipment or something?
What was the camera used for this?
Ipotato
Don't they line in the boreholes of steel casings..
epic video!!
So do I understand correctly that this thing @7:33 is at the very bottom of the drilling shaft after they have closed it up?
No. It's a plug you set at whatever depth to isolate what is beneath it.
Bridge plugs are set in the casing that is set in place after drilling during the production phase.
These are in open hole right
good i like it
Looks like the video of my wife’s colonoscopy
Is this video from the '80s?
The video showed a Hi-8 VCR, and Hi-8 was introduced right at the end of the 1980's. This video is probably from the 90's.
At one point the temperature was 212F. Why wasn’t the water boiling or at least bubbling?
Because of pressure. Water boiling point depends on pressure and temperature. Room temperature water boils in vacuum, for example. This is something you learn in 6th grade.
Dan Slotea been a while since I’ve been in 6th grade.
However since his comment I work in wireline now. I put explosives down that hole.
At that depth pressure water boils around 800 degrees F
Man, I wish I could use this on every well I drill..
+Adam Smith Looking for someone to help me with oil and gas in Tennessee .
Sidney Jordan I'm in Tennessee and got 5 years oilfield experience
Just wonder how to view in mud which is not transparent.

Its funny to watch but im totally cluelss about what hes talking about :=)
+Przemyslaw Czaplicki let me know if you need any clarifaction :D I'm a petroleum engineer.
I need clarification :) This is not shale rock, right?
9:26 Plug looks like a hateful smiley face. Never seen this. Had no idea oil trickled in the bore like that.
Looks like a colonoscopy... LOL.
Thus gut is the Bob Ross of down hole video

Looks like my colonoscopy only with less gas...
Thanks
9:15 - нашли чихуахуа))
Pretty sure one was Chris' mom...
C-ment......
Human just need some energy to survive/civilization on this planet; why humans have such different views on how to get that energy? We are all such insignificant creatures in UNIVERSES, why we think we can “save” the planet?
200F at -300 meters!! i dont understand why we not use this heat for energy production?
They do.... it’s called geothermal.
Is this narrated by dick Cheney ?
Ya it looks cool but in return fracking causes serious problems its fact and nothing can change it.
🙏🏼 stop killing or planet
Yet you post on a device made from and transported by oil products.
😂
