We had cattle come past Buster’s gate in two groups today. They are coming by earlier in the day as we are not seeing the triple digit temperatures. The early group just did a walk thru. This was kind of a “Indian style” single file or one behind another, first time I had seen that here. The second group came latter grazing and walking
More workers in today with the winding down operations to bring the well “on line” in production.

Afternoon 97 Degrees, Wind SSE at 7 to 16 Mph, Humidity 49%, sunny.

More cattle sighting here at the gate. A little more going on today inside with the pipeline crew in for the final work. We are closing down on Friday thus making plans for the next week getting doctor visits for new proscriptions.


Busters Gate Jim Hogg County TX - Wednesday, August 24, 2016
Morning 75 Degrees, Wind SW at 2 to 3 Mph, Humidity 93%, mostly sunny.
Afternoon 99 Degrees, Wind SE at 5 to 13 Mph, Humidity 34%, sunny.

The well is “on line” I might have failed to say that the primary product is natural gas and oil comes as a residual by product. We do have at least one oil tank truck per week and there is also a propane pickup almost on a weekly basis from the other wells on (now three wells on the site thru this gate) the ranch. There is a natural gas compressor on site and that output is delivered off site thru a pipeline system.

Cattle are coming everyday, and are very interesting to watch their routines grazing and moving on to the next area. About noon today I got a call telling me we are needed another week on the gate. That will take us up to the holiday (laborday) weekend. That works out for our doctors appointments as the doctors office is closed next week.
