Guess what im saying, its always been, yeah, a 40k should do this shot, or a yep, 20x22 will do it. Ive never been part of the math of the pull; just the math on the geometry (I say that kinda jokingly, not real math, more of we probably need a +12% to get up by the exit; not the real math used on these river shots)
I watched one a few months ago, little JT10, 240 ft of 2", very nearly seized up; took hours (and some jerking/abuse) to get it across; and found the mud mixer to drill screen was completely clogged, with trash; so it was basically a dry (other than ground water) bore, in sand. If that is displaced to operator, wouldn't you see mud pressures at crazy levels and pull rods back?
