I never expected this book would cover our entire full-timing journey and I think a nice place to stop is right before we went to Alaska and started work kamping. I’ve been making some serious progress with the editing and seem to have found a rhythm, but I have also decided I need to write a little bit further before I end. We decided to go ahead and prep the rig for moving, in case we were released suddenly and then I had an extremely slow night, which was pretty great, because it allowed me to get a lot of writing done. Under normal circumstances we would have been totally fine for that, because getting paid for these slow days is awesome, but we have friends in San Antonio that we really wanted to see and were hoping we would have a few days to spend with them. I wasn’t sure what the traffic would be like and ultimately I thought it best not to mess with my sleep schedule. I only had a few production trucks going to other wells, but went ahead and stayed awake. There was no one back at the well and the gate to it was locked shut, but as far as we knew we were on duty. Around 6pm our supervisor called us and asked if we had been released but again we said no. We let our sales manager know that the phase was complete, but she asked if the gate was closed which we did not know. Lee was told we would be done at noon that day, but then no one came and told us to leave. Since this was a completely different group of people, we weren’t really sure who was in charge, but Saturday morning one of the company men said they were close to being done. The next couple of days and nights were relatively slow as well as we watched the workover phase get completed. That was a bit of surprise when I walked out one night, but I later learned this was the natural gas burning off. One thing we did see for a couple days was a big ball of flame. but we are getting paid and I had a pretty slow night, so that’s something.

Sometimes I feel like everyone is speaking a foreign language and since we can’t see anything from this far away it’s hard for me to understand what is happening. I still really don’t get it to be honest.


Once the well is stable they need two 12 hour days to complete the job but the big question is when it will be stable. That makes sense, but then I learned that they weren’t sure when it would be ready. The way I understand it the well has to be stable before they finish it and this one is still bleeding off lots of natural gas.

It seemed like lots was happening from the volume of traffic the gate was getting, but when my generator ran out of gas at 1am and I flagged down someone to get me some more gas, I learned that wasn’t the case. We heard that might take 3-4 days, but everyone we ask seems to have a different guess on that. The next day they started the workover portion and then after that the cleanup.
