Touring ExxonMobil -- inside the Kelsey Compressor Station

[americanjacknife]

GMV engines, I used to work on the cylinders and heads and electroplated pistons and con rod bushings years ago.

That shit was built when we still thought the earth was flat.

Fucking losers.

Don't use any of their profit to upgrade their shit.

[computertime1234]

The whole global warming "climate change" thing is a hoax, the goal is not to bring the worlds climate under control, but to bring western civilization to its knees. There is no need to take away anyone's exemptions, we need to throw Gore in prison for life for perpetuating his scam. I saw it myself, his jet sitting on the tarmac at Tillamook for half a day with it's engine running to keep the air conditioning going, and the jets door was open to boot! The guy is a criminal.

@DeserTBoB93535

I don't know who is on guitar because I just used the stock music that came with Imovie on the computer. (the mac basic program)

[DeserTBoB93535]

@rancholosmalulos Nice match! Real "Texas Swingy" to go with the crappy equipment!

[DeserTBoB93535]

I love the GREEN TAPE over the handhole in that one GVW! What a crappy plant. Figures that XOM would have crappy maintenance like this.

[UMAAVAFA]

i can sell you most of the parts at a very competitve price and record produccion times. are u interested?.

[jmecrg]

is that around new london tx?

[amfan12]

Nice to see at least one those old compressors still runs.

[jpiegari68]

This company makes BILLIONS of dollars each quarter & they're able to get away with letting their facilities (which also just happen to be a significant part of our country's VITAL CORE INFRASTRUCTURE) decay to such a condition. It's sickening, truly sickening...

[TOYDOLLSKID]

i lost all faith in hearin the compressor running when i seen that door at the entrance.

[BurtBartlow]

Holy crap...is that a turbo at the top of the frame at 3:01?

[DeserTBoB93535]

@BurtBartlow Yes, it is. That's a later model GMVH, probably installed in the 1960s. The dead derelicts all appear to be the original GMV. The Cooper-Bessemer GMV was the gas compressor that revolutionized the natural gas business, first coming out in 1938. They were produced until 1993, although in a much improved form.

[rancholosmalulos]

they are cooper bessemers from 1947

[DeserTBoB93535]

@rancholosmalulos The "deal soldiers" in this wreck of plant look to be GMVs from the 1940s. The big one still running (with the turbo on top) is a 1960s GMVH. This plant is a disgrace, and you can tell the "deferred maintenance" has been going on for decades. I'm sure that one engine's only running for tax reasons; the plant probably served a dying gas field. Hopefully, it's been scrapped by now.

[unbornduckman]

are these units cooper bessemers??

[btownmxer]

look like Clarks
