Leave some pipe in the hole after twisting it off, We go "fishing" for it.

+1 Rep for a fellow Oil man

Where are you based out of? I'm an engineer, based in Denver, and my wells are in Utah (Uinta basin)

P.S. Please don't blame me for the lay-off, I don't choose who goes and who stays. I just give parameters for most efficiency and establishing new procedural protocals to be performed by fewer departments/personnel. I just get paid to be the scape goat.

ya coulda been that BBM understudy so, count your blessings!
