The photograph above is of 'my' people Kuwait in 1991 and was taken by the great photographer, Sebastiao Salgado. This is an easy cap; their laying air lines now to be able to pneumatically unbolt the tubing head from casing head. They will then put a clamp on the two flanges, tight, take the last bolt out, tie a winch line from the dozer on the clamp and jerk the tubing head off, without anybody getting hair-lipped.
They'll then be ready to cap to a clean casing flange.
The video clip on the left is also of Salgado in Kuwait and worth a watch. He was dialed in over there.

I do this blog stuff for fun, not to make money. I am not trying to sell you anything.
The materials provided on this site are for informational and educational purposes only and are not intended to provide tax, legal, or investment advice. I may make data related mistakes occasionally; if you use my opinions about oil reserves or shale well economics for financial purposes, to buy or sell stocks, your nuts. Don't do that. If I have used a photograph incorrectly it was for educational purposes and I have done my best of to give credit where credit is due. My stories are all true, slightly embellished, perhaps, but true; I don't change names to protect the guilty. I am as accurate as possible about history and historical facts; I work very hard at that.All rights are reserved, whatever that means. Don't blame me, I didn't do it.
