This does bring back memories of better times. A lot of these pumps were removed because the tree-hugger movements, i.e., Sierra Club and the like, didn't want oil companies creating and retaining good-paying jobs in Southern California. These movements, of course, say it's for our own good. K...

Avolite, I have my opinion, and you have yours. Any time I can give factual information on any subject, I will continue to do so...even at the risk of, as you say, dividing us all. We still live in a country where free speech is a constitutional right...at least, for now.

This documentary will, hopefully, flop like it should.

I love these videos from Texas. They always appear to be in beautiful and quiet environs. Please keep 'em coming!

Wow, that horsehead is huge! I have never heard of CMI. What does the initials stand for, Derek? As always, thanks for the post.

Ha, ha, ha, good one!!

Here's to hoping you drill a ton more of these and that they produce plenty for you!

Nice video. How many bpd does she pull?

Nice video, guys.

Nice video. The music is great, too!

Thanks to all of you for ensuring this country has the energy to drive our cars, heat our homes, and cook our food! Always putting your lives on the line is thankless, however, it's appreciated by true Americans. For those enviro-nazis who reap the benefits of oil and, of course, don't apprecia...

Thank God. Somebody who knows what they're talking about!! I will use Los Angeles as an example. The Los Angeles City oilfield is an oilfield long thought to be played out, and a school was built on top of the field in 1999. Well, the relief wells were abandoned. Now, the field is under pres...

We need more of these pumping units everywhere. Especially, in front of the Hollywood and political elite types domiciles. For the occupy Wall Street crowd, a domicile is a home.

Ah, the 1970's. A time before all the enviro-nazi regulations took hold.

Nice! Where was this, the Bakken formation?

I never noticed, but this unit has only one counterbalance.

Nice vid, It looked like the crude oil in the water was minimal that day. Probably because it was cool. Thanks for posting.

This place is awesome!! I'm glad it's a national park. I love being from Los Angeles; it's the greatest place on earth.

Do I remember the pike. I'm from Long Beach, Signal Hill, really, so this brings back great memories. Thanks for posting!

Another thing before I go, you idiots. The Page museum tried to pave over the parking lot in 1998. If you read up on the subject, you would have read that one year later, crude oil was seeping up again in the same areas they had paved. So, Corolla, and the other idiots in this segment, the oil...

Maybe it's just me, but I have a hard time looking at a pumping unit that has solar panels. Just my humble opinion!

Another equalizer bearing bites the dust! That saddle bearing sure took a beating. Thanks for the post!

Oh, another one who doesn't know what he's talking about. I suppose you're another envir-nazi! I don't know why I wasted two minutes of my time. I could have done something tangible like defecate. Oh, wait. I guess there's no difference between listening to fecal matter and expelling some in...

That unit is clean and quiet. How old is she? Thanks!

I may be wrong about Spring Street. This could be on top of Sunnyside cemetery.

Oil, folks, will NEVER be gone. Just my opinion, and no disrespect intended. Thank you.

Hi, Derek. Nice to see another pumpjack going in. I saw the La Brea Tar pits a month ago. I think you would like the crude seeps there. Oil seeps are everywhere here in the Miracle Mile, Wilshire area of Los Angeles. I have always loved Texas, since my father was born and raised in Dallas/Fo...

Glad to see these wells being brought back to life! Derek, you probably are familiar with the Salt Lake oilfield in Los Angeles. It's part of the La Brea tar pits on Wilshire Boulevard. There is a ton of seeps in the downtown area, and it really is disturbing to me, anyway, that there are no ...
