[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1439651, member: 18945"] I don't know what else was up there, but there was a dang HP gauge on top. I couldn't get it all to fit in the picture. This was a Williams well. They drilled a lot of them in the chalk back then. Had a yard over on that FM road that came out at Lyons. And you're right. It was move in, rig up, poke a hole, and get rigged down and move on to the next one. Most less than 5,000' I believe. The locations were almost all just caliche with the only place they had mats was under the substructure. I never saw a board road on any of those chalk wells. All those wells that were drilled up to 1985, I only remember one having trouble and IIRC, it was an Exeter rig .. it burned on a location going out toward Dime Box. [/QUOTE]
