Thank you Mike Rowe. Every child in America should watch this!
More like every parent should see this, And stop making super babies, that can’t do a dang thing for themselves
Someone should do an episode like this but for the American railroad.
I do frac work in Western PA, I can honestly say I have never seen an operation like this.
How is it?
true i was a frac hand for 10 years i fracked in texas nd montana and pa and ive never seen an operation like this in nd just the vertical pipe goes over 10000 feet deep in pa we averaged around 5-7k feet deep vertical and 16 pumps
Really I'm in Canada I have serviced wells just like this
I’ve serviced wells like this in Canada as well
but is it true fracking makes the local water containmated with toxic chemicals?
This country has an economic gap, the gap between those who work and those who don’t, those who don’t make an assload of money, celebrities, politicians, media people, and people just living off the government.
Aaaaaand now what?
I am not sure I follow your Math?
It's true. Production is taken for granted and sports pros couldn't think of what to do with the money agents give them. DC should regulate, because public money is used.
Median American income is $70000.
Mike rowes the man. Love these!!
I'm a 3rd generation oilfield hand. Grandpa retired at CIG, Dad owned his own roundabout service when I was growing up and eventually went to work out here in this patch. He loved working in Pennsylvania but when Biden got in he lost his job. I grew up and made it as far as the derreks on a triple double work over rig out in the Kansas Oklahoma plains. It was the best time of my life. Hard work, great pay and good ppl. I lost a lot of friends to this job but we all knew the dangers and one friend was hit in the back with a set of blocks crushing him and leaving him paralyzed. He somehow came out of it and with his large payout bought a crotch rocket killing himself on a foggy night running into a wall. I have Bern in the oilfield for many years but I miss the smell, the long days/nights and the Mexican lunches cooked on the truck engines.
I read your whole post and man sounds really interesting.
@dilblo fagbins everything is poisoning the environment.
@dilblo fagbins so you think talking to me is going to stop it? I'm sorry but you are talking to the wrong person. Take your complaints to the boss. Also you are most doing very good if you use the products made by petroleum. I mean c'mon man.
Your phone you posted this comment on came from oil Dilblo hypocrite
Well we don't have to worry bout them Mexicants anymore with the wall now do we!?
When I was a teen in the 70's I admired and appreciated the job of being a rough neck. I'm now 60 and I have not changed my mind.
love this series
My 1974 Vega station wagon back in the 1980's Loved oil ..used to go through 1 Quart every 45 miles
The Reynolds 390 coating was worn. If you brought your car to a dealer, they would install a new engine block. I had a 1971 Vaga.
thats some backwoods drilling there!
That's most of PA. NY too. We are not paved from the ocean to the river. Some of the best hunting and fishing here and if you love boating lots of places to enjoy that. Cave systems to explore, natural forests and In NY we have one of the largest State Park in the country. It's right next to the National Forrest in PA.
In Pennsylvania we have more sweet crude than all of Saudi Arabia. This layer of oil is between the Marcellus Shale and the Utica Shale
Except that... The entire country of Saudi Arabia or the city of Dubai are (combined) invested in each and every fragment of the entire oil industry.
Try to find me one single aspect of the industry; where 15%++ does not go directly to them.
Isn't it great to see who owns america
The show is informative, but quite misleading. Most new wells and frac jobs are 10-20 times larger than the well profiled in this show. The fact that the show calls out everything in gallons (instead of the industry standard of barrels) highlights that this is a reduced representation of the industry . This would be like explaining how airports work and operate, but doing the show at Dawson Community Airport in Montana, without mentioning O'Hare or Jackson Hartsfield.
@@darekm6859 You missed the point, no worries.
Not really we still do the small drilling, well maybe in PA. NY hates people making money. Do you know the size a drill site you are talking about would need to be? The enviromenlist would be all over them, as well as the loggers as how much of the forest would need to be taken out.
Mike Rowe should do one on cell tower Technician. That's the field I'm in. Sometimes I wish people new what we did to maintain everyone's services for there cell phone and internet to work. 100+ft in the air in all kinds of weather
This is close to where I live. I know guys that work on that crew. Very cool.
God Bless Them!
Many Americans work hard and even risk their health and lives to do important work that has real value.
They are forced to pay high taxes so Liberal politicians can give $Trillions to foreigners, Federal employees, and millions of other people who don’t do anything of any value!
Corporation don't pay any tax start thinking of the big picture

You're a simpleton
You are not smart
Industrial electrician here. Working at a refinery now. I’m one of the few who endangers himself so the rest of you can have an easy life. The thank you I get…. 60 percent in taxes overall.
I feel yah here industrial electrician here at automotive plant and the government takes 37% of every dollar i make a week at only 22
I was a industrial electricians helper for 6 years and a underground coal miner before that. I got tired of working to make more money for the company owner, I now work for myself as a contractor and with the rising cost of building materials and the taxes I'm hit with, I probably give close to half to the government now. But I know what it's like to risk your life every day to keep the lights and heat and air on for ungrateful people that look down on us blue collar workers that keeps the country running. I personally want to thank you guys and all the blue collar men and women who risk their lives daily for the hard work you do.
If you are taxed that high then you must be getting paid very well. There's your thank you.
You’re a sparky in a refinery don’t get too cocky I know you go home cleaner then 90% of the guys there most days
THE BEST GOD FEARING AND LOVING PEOPLE ON THE PLANET OIL MEN PS TREE,S CREATE OIL GOD BLESS AMERICA
Should have went to North Dakota were they really drill for oil. These are Itty bitty wells
Everyone uses the products but most don't want to know how and where it comes from. I love the protesters that show up to the refinery I work at in big suv's 😆
Hahaha they believe that carpooling is the best while sucking down 8mpg in a Van with a v10
I would like to say thank you mike
Like it or not oil is the life blood
How doesn’t this have more views
"In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most.
No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores.
No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it.
This universal truth applies to all systems.
Energy, like time, flows from past to future"(2017).
Mike and producers, you should like at the Contract security industry. Some Security officers are working 90 hours per week and management doesnt care about the low pay due to the junk contract that they agreed upon.
A majority of the security industry:
Easily bypassed. Something as simple as the weakest link makes almost any level of security - not much more than window dressing
The thing that is missing from these shows, where is the math. How much are these guys making? Salary? Contractors? Do they have options, dividend?
So let me guess you want the industry regulated.
People in rural areas and on the countryside produce almost all the essentials in modren life. Even the most important industrial products are made specifically for them to continue producing more & more. People in cities just enjoy & serve what those people bring to them. Yet, the city people are the ones who control everything and want to tell everybody how to live! Why? Because they have the Wall st.? Because they operate the phones, play sports, make pizza and movies?
If Every city in America went in full strike mode what would happen? If everybody in rural areas went on strike what would happen?
There is always someone hungry to do it.
There is always a convenient "problem" on every jobsite when Mike rowe is there 🤣🤣
Make that "improbable convenient problem"
Well that's the idea. But what really amazed me: when do you say timber I imagine sibirien Flatlands and Tyga, When you mention oil a standard 4 km deep oil well of Yuganskneftegaz comes to mind. What we see here is scrapping for some firewood in the marshes and steep hillsides for wood and beggar-like scraping for oil with barbarian fracking!
It is just the reality of high volume industry.
Problems like that happen almost every other well. Fishing for pipe and tools downwell is pretty common.
Something going pear shaped on a daily basis is normal in industry.
Yeah those guy's 😙🥃🥃🥃 work dam hard,thought work heard about it many times, Amen. God bless 🙏💰💰💰🤯.

Yep that's America one man working everyone else watching the ones watching are making more money then the one working that's how America works
fracking condensate in Northern BC in minus 50...great fun
This mini series should be called “Dingy Tasks”
I wonder if a well drilled 100 years ago was done with a steam powered drilling machine?
Doubt it 100 years ago they had drilling rigs and all the equipment
These guys voted for Biden. Good job
Most likely it wasn’t these guys it’s all the other idiots lol
This is nothing compared to West Texas
It's a higher quality oil, and the last oil producing wells in the world will be in PA.
If mike row ran for president! would that not be the best? :)
I figured mike rowe would know the difference between concrete and cement
I didn’t notice him saying concrete. When was it?
Must be Oil City, PA. Near my hometown. Did they open the time capsule? What was in it?
Warren County, Sheffield Township
1:03 where is that amazing oil field?
John Stewart 32 years in the business, but don't look a day over 36.
That’s what happens when your old man starts the business the year you’re born haha ;)
Yall need to see how do it in Texas
How is it that Cameron Energy isn't in Cameron County? I looked them up and saw that they are in Sheffield, PA. (Warren County).
How can I watch the full episodes ?
I did not see anything about how they sustainability log. What is their growth plans and conservation efforts of species dependent on the forest timber.
I want to know how they dealt with replacing the pipe.
overshot
If you are talking about the pipe that was broken off it was simple. You use what the old timers nicknamed the fishing tool. Sent it down, pulled it up sent it down pulled it up. Oh and lots and lots of prayers. I grew up in southwestern NY near the state line. We had our own oil field on our property and Pennzoil plumped oil up and down our valley.
Assault shingles PETROLEUM
You haven't seen Colorado's green oil, an we do have yellow and black oil.
It's "Worked"
Right
I'm not here after midnight, you are
Water.... Yea ok, I really believe you.
What are the problems with fracking?
West texas oilfield is way different
That's what she said @5:43
50,000 gallons of oil ? A year ? Or 50,000 barrels ?
I'm thinking gallons. Barrels would be over a million gallons if I got my math right on how big a barrel is. I'm thinking they put everything into gallons because the majority of people do not know what a barrel is. Most people I have ever talked to about it think that its a 55 gallon drum size.
Correct, 50,000 gallons/year. We figured the average viewer would be able to visualize gallons much better than bbls
Fracking....when money is more important... polluting the groundwater for the next generations...
Mine question why I so expensive the fuel in pa
Part 2????
Pennsylvania railroad oil
Where is the rest of the story?
i dislike the dramatization, but still an ok show
WHY DIDNT YOU SHOW THE WHOLE THING
They need to track Centralia Pennsylvania to put out the coal mine fires.
Lots gi brendon
You'd think the owner of that old well would've already clogged it up. I'm not acquainted with the oil industry, but I think it'd be better to just do it instead of waiting and having bigger problems.
It may have been productive until recently. Or it may have been abandoned years ago, or the company that owed it went out of business.
Allegheny Natiional has abandoned wells everywhere
Why am I paying $5 per gallon when the crude is pumped down the street from me… thanks California.
You should say, "Thanks, Capitalism." Also known as the energy industry.
Open the pipelines please!!!!
little did these guys know of what was about to happen,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Biden.
They should make a clip of how the American workers put up with the management b***s***. And how companies
Treat their employees
I mean no disrespect, but 50,000 gallons does not seem like a lot.
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Why would Oil be in contact lenses and chewing gum??
Anything that is plastic or rubber will be made out of oil. That also goes for contact lenses which are made of plastic and chewing gum which has a synthetic rubber as it’s base. Chewing gum before had tree resin as it’s base, but in the 60s, manufacturers used synthetic rubber to save money.
Why don't you explain why you were just sitting there doing nothing with $9,000 oil leases already
American Natives showed White Man where the oil was in PA!
@Raphael truth
As much as we need oil, I feel we should move to something more sustainable.
Yeah? Seeing that we use it to produce the vast majority of products we humans consume on a daily business it's going to take a very long time. Ppl think it's as simple as just stopping production. You do that you stop everything. We have to figure out how to replace petroleum in products. Most ppl who 7 talk to don't realize just how deep this stuff goes and just how much of their need for convenience is going to be effected if we stop producing. I'm with you, I worked in the oilfield most my life. My highest concern is pumping the world dry leaving it ready to crack. Oil is like the meniscus between your knees. It helps keep the tectonic plates from popping. That's the real danger. Edit: read this as just a friendly chat no harsh tones were used.
Sure beats whale blubber......
Fracking has never been economical. It's subsidized by Wall Street (probably at the request of their masters in Washington). Why? Because the public myopically fixates on only a few consumer prices, so keeping gasoline prices down keeps everyone calm.
I prefer to run my car on liberal tears😂
too bad fracking is terribly wasteful on aqueducts under the ground
Fracking is terrible for the America enter that world
This is so low budget. are u kidding me?
little trump / JFK jr 2024!!!!! We’ll be just OK.
Ah yes, fracking. A great way to pollute the air, soil, and groundwater.
It’s just water chill
@Free Commercial It is definitely not just water. Ground and water pollutants from fracking include ammonium, barium, chloride, iodide, manganese, and strontium. Air pollutants include benzene, ethylbenzene, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen oxides, silica dust, toluene, and xylene. Also, according to the EPA, the fracking industry has about 150 accidental spills of fracking fluid per year.
Waa waaaa
"...and without it, the world as we know it, well, wouldn't be."
Is that a bad thing though? It could possibly be worse, but it could also be so much better.
Without it, we'd have found alternatives. We're good at adapting like that.
Oil is the old way of living Nu-Way is eco-friendly
You an idiot if you think we can force an extremely fast transition from oil to electric. You say nu-way is eco friendly but you don’t actually say how the electricity is going to be made produced and stored in an eco friendly way that’s viable. Oh because we have viable electric cars now that means all of a sudden we’re ready to transition everything else? You guys are delusional and live in a fantasy reality where you have no clue how things are done and ran.
Fracking chemicals are destroying PA's fresh water aquifers.
How far away does it do that? 100 feet? 1 mile? just curious.
Fake news.
u do realize how little chemicals we used most of them can be found in food and things like gum but i only had 10 years experience all over the country doing it go hug another tree
I've had pressure cooker lead position jobs over the last 35 years, yet never once felt the need to spew disgusting ignorant filth. It's a matter of moral character and education, not how much pressure you're under. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. So filthy mind, filthy speech.
Wow! Such superiority!
fracking is destroying the environment in a huge way...
Fake news
I don't know what's funnier: Fox pretending to be a legit "news" program or footage of Ashli Babbitt's last moments on Earth
Right, because you can trust CNN and MSNBC? I'm sure your also a Democrat...
Funny. Fox is the most watched and trusted news company there is Princess. U have one thumbs up. Which is probably urself. 👎👎
M.A.G.A
Why would video of someone dying be funny to you? That's pretty sick dude. You should get help
I hate oil! I've never driven a car so the world doesn't need any oil period!
Will oil last forever? If not, what should we do?
