. right now we got a drill bit and about 50 feet of pipe stuck in the ground. a place like this, we re right near the edges of a river. any time you have sandy soil you have the problem of it collapsing in on itself. we have to try to get it out. if we can t, it stays in the ground. let s move some of the dirt and get some of the weight off. i like it. let s do it. the problems happen and they happen quite often. you have to figure out how to get around those problems and keep pushing forward. we are going to take forced water and slowly pound the sand from the top down. it s like redrilling a smaller hole next to the hole we have already drilled. we have to have water coming out. i have seen wells collapse on
when you are changing a pipe over and you stop forcing a pipe into a hole you can collapse the hole. we have a drill bit and 50 feet of pipe stuck in the ground it s not for the minute going anywhere. we don t make promises. there is no guarantees. this shows that. [ male announcer ] if we could see energy. what would we see? the billions of gallons of fuel that get us to work.
and about 50 feet of pipe stuck in the ground. a place like this, we re right near the edges of a river, so any time you got sandy soil, you got the problem of it collapsing in on itself. we have to try to get it out. if we can t, it stays in the ground. let s move some dirt first, get some of the weight off. okay, let s do it. problems happen and they happen quite often. and so you have to figure out how to get around those problems and to keep pushing forward. gonzalo had a great idea to take forced water, and slowly, slowly pound the sand from the top down. so it s almost like redrilling a smaller hole right next to the hole we already drilled. we have to have water coming out. i have seen wells collapse on themselves. a lot of that is just lack of training. when you switch a pipe, you got to do it quickly, because every second you re not forcing water into the bottom, that s a second
aquafir, and the other one is basically equipment. a drilling rig forces a series of pipes into the ground with a drill bit secured on the end. water is pumped into the bore hole through the pipes so that the sand and dirt that is loosened by the drill are forced out of bore hole. creating space to continue drilling. pipes are added one by one until the aquafir is reached. our bit is completely buried. when you re changing a pipe over or for a minute you stop forcing water into the hole that hole can completely collapse on itself. so right now we have got a drill bit and 50 feet of pipe stuck in
