- TriviaTerms used:
- Blowout - uncontrolled release of gas or formation fluids from the well to the surface. Christmas tree - collection of gauges, valves and chokes mounted on a well casing head. These are used to control the flow of oil and gas from the wellhead.

- Drillstring - The column of pipe that transmits drilling fluid and torque from the top drive/rotary table/kelly drive to the drill bit.
- Fluid impaction - refers to a situation where the flow of fluids (oil, gas, water) within the wellbore is severely restricted due to solid particles within a fluid (like oil or drilling mud) collide with and become lodged against a surface due to their momentum, typically occurring when the fluid is flowing through a narrow passage or encountering a sudden change in direction, effectively "impacting" against the surface and building up a deposit
- Fracking - Is a slang term for hydraulic fracturing, which is the process of creating fractures in rocks and rock formations by injecting specialized fluid at high pressures into cracks to force them to open further. Fracking increases the rate at which water, petroleum, or natural gas can be recovered from subterranean wells.
- Joint - A length of drill pipe, that is 30 - 32ft long. Joining a few of these pipes together, it becomes a drill string
- Perforation - When an oil well is drilled to the desired depth, it is a question of accessing the reservoir oil and gas in the surrounding rock. To do so, one perforates or adds small holes through the casing (barrier that is added to prevent the collapse of the wellbore) of the well, creating a pathway for oil and gas to flow from the reservoir formation into the wellbore.
- Scaling - Over the course of time, solid mineral deposits that form within the wellbore and production equipment. It usually occurs when dissolved minerals in the produced water (brine) precipitate, dissolved substance separates from a solution and forms a solid, and accumulate on surfaces. As a result, these deposits restrict the flow of oil and gas.
- Pumper - Another term for 'Lease Operator' is a worker in the oilfield whose job is to tend to the wells (Pumpjacks) and record data such as pressure at the wellhead and perform maintenance when applicable. Most Pumpers also tend to the central tank batteries (CTB) in which the wells pump the oil into tanks and the pumper is responsible for calculating how much production was made in a 24 hour period.
- Tong - specialized type of wrench
- Tripping pipe - refers to pulling "joints" of pipe back out of - or putting them back into - the well.
- Wellbore - The drilled hole, including the open hole or uncased portion of the well, or the shaft that extends from the surface down into the ground, atop of which is the wellhead
- Wellhead - the physical structure built above the ground, over an oil or gas well, essentially the point where the well connects to the surface, the wellhead's primary function is to control pressure during drilling and production through the use of the Christmas tree
- Workover - The process of repairing or maintaining an existing well to restore or increase production. * * Worm - An inexperienced oilfield worker
- Quotes
Sheriff Walt Joeberg: [looking at Tommy's broken finger] You don't want to go to the hospital for that?
Tommy Norris: No. I want a cigarette and a Dr Pepper.

Featured review
Just three episodes in.
Billy bob Thornton is welcome back to Texas since his Friday Nights in 2006.
The feeling is Yellowstone and this is welcome, series with some reality versus superheroes and fantasy.
Based in the Permian basin Oilfield , great casting so far! Interesting people and storylines...
We Oilfield guys are shaking our heads at the inaccuracies of the field life and explosions/blow outs.
The technical failures in the first three episodes are embarrassing and your technical consultant got everything wrong in the Blowout scene.
A stuck old valve, the 24 inch Pipe wrench (applied upside down being hammered near to the top? 100% wrong.
You need torque, No Cheater pipe tried first? No hammer unless a brass hammer (ie no sparks)?
No experienced Oilfield downstream crew would ever have done this. A shambolic Technical director.
Billy is then seen as a 'Landman' trying to shut down a blowout (Never seen a Landman on location). Experienced and again places the wrench upside down and hits his own finger ? Just ridiculous.
Hey-Ho , Hollywood. Staying for the story !
PS ex Oilfield and commenting for many on my ex Oilfield group reactions.
