In this video, you'll watch how a Patriot Energy oil and gas well in the Permian Basin is fracked and brought into production. For more information on investing in oil and gas with Patriot Energy, contact us at (469) 269-5414 or email us by filling out the form at patriotenergy.com/contact.

This is generally a three-day process, the first day being set up and the next two days fracking multiple zones in the well.

This is a highly technical process involving many moving parts, as you will see. After fracking is complete, a pumpjack is installed and everything returns to normal. But during the fracking process, it is quite a show.

You will see ariel footage from above that shows how extensive this operation is.


Video Transcript:

The sun is peaking over the horizon at the Patriot Energy White Wolf well located in the prolific and legendary Permian Basin in West Texas.

The well will soon be fracked in four zones along its nearly 9,000 foot vertical wellbore.

Fracking itself is mostly a highly-technical computerized process as you will see, but set up is impressive.

Trucks begin pulling in one after another and position themselves on the padsite according to each one’s function. The best way to see what’s going on is from above.

In this section, are the sand trucks. They pump a critical mixture of Wisconsin sand into the blend that will go down the well-bore and ultimately hold the rock apart so the oil and gas can flow.
In this back section are the water trucks.

Fracking takes a lot of water, and this rig is connected to a fresh water holding area located a couple miles away. Water flows from that pond into these tanks, which are connected to the valves that will flow under high pressure into the well.

Across the front of the layout – closest to the wellbore - are the pumping units. They basically take the sand, water and a lubricant mixture in at low pressure and blast it out toward the wellbore at high pressure.

Once this entire maze is connected to the Christmas Tree – the big valve at the wellbore - and everything is thoroughly pressure tested and ready to go, fracking the first zone will begin early the next morning.

This fracking operation is under the control of Rick Standridge, AKA the Frac Commander. Standridge got his engineering degree from Texas A&M and has been involved in fracturing oil and gas wells around the world for nearly four decades.

He calls a safety and final review meeting with the entire crew before commencing operations.

Then, everyone mans their positions and waits for the Commander to say…

(“Let’s Frack”)
