Set The Plug

Today was interesting because we did a plug setting job and I went up on the Doyon rig to feel the cable to make sure the plug setting tool worked. So using explosives on the job is very cool, but it is also a big responsibility. When the plug set I felt the cable move and then about 20 seconds later it really moved. This was to let you know the tool went off. Now its not as exciting as fireworks going off, but still when explosives are going off 8000 feet below you and you can feel it through a cable its pretty cool. Once we returned to the shop the operators and I tore the tools down and they showed me how it worked. The let me help rebuild the tool which was very interesting. That is one of the best things you will get alot of hands on experience with a Schlumberger internship.
