I used a variant of this doing exploratory in Belize.  Fun units to work with until the shot comes out to hot.

 

But this is effectively it, only it would need to be a much larger variant.  think 20 wide 10 high.  Vaulted archway.  Run 2-3 energy lines through it.  14-18 inch diameter, use the floating saddles like Alaska has  for their northern line in the 70s 

Okay I agree but I got to stop yea lol I only know this stuff threw theory lol ken hamel was the owner of cros-man and his a family friend and my dad and cousins worked for mears in Alberta here and did safety so I got to go to the job sites lol 

i also advised Ken to sell to some company out in Vancouver :) 

but it's came a long way and I think it's the best way to run lines so far......I did work rigs thought and oilfield services for a bit though.....

You said earlier that Harper tried to screw BC in fact that was a terrible post for you to make because what you did is just showed that wexit or the anger in Alberta is no different than what you felt in British Columbia however you want to sit and ridicule Alberta but think that you live in some high society holier-than-thou Attitude and that Alberta is just crying and whining. The reality is we fund so much in this country and without us you would be paying a 12% GST at minimum.

This isn't true at all just because you like to repeatedly say it does not make it true it's not the case that's not it at all. All this for the BC liberals was to see how much money they could make for the BC NDP it was to try and hold on to the environmental vote it's one big sham coming out of British Columbia. BC is the ones hurting the whole country for the last decade. Why should we be happy and fine with it so that our living standards can come down because you guys think you are some great people on the west coast news flash the very people you said you would get oil from if Alberta turned off the taps was the United States a country that has pipeline's going to the West Coast you guys look so foolish and hypocritical the way you act. As far as a moratorium that was just stupid because you said you didn't like the approach you think of moratorium is the answer it was completely stupid and if any of these decisions that are constantly taken by the Liberals specifically Trudeau's whether it be the national energy program or C 69 and c48 on BC's Main contributor to their economy and the betterment of the whole country in our case you wouldn't be on such a high horse let's put it that way but you know what us in Alberta wouldn't care that's why some of us gets surprised why so many of you in British Columbia crying ans complaining over how we feel if you're so unhappy with us in Alberta about it close your thread up turn the news off and don't worry if we leave or if we stayed but preferably we leave

um, man get over yourself please. Harper did try to screw BC, and that was bad. It doesn't make Alberta's anger to BC and Quebec and anyone else they care to demonize OK. 

 

Please stop with the "we fund" crap. Its not true, you can't provide the objective evidence for that. 

 

You're stuck in a mentality that will get you nowhere.

And Trudeau is screwing Alberta but in this case it's no big deal you're a hypocrite. And save the he bought you a pipeline nonsense. Pretty sad that investors constantly walk away from Canada.

Facts are facts, Alberta carries Canada. I get you're jealous that's fine but that's reality, without Alberta Canada would be screwed, without BC nothing would change.

We used an old atlas diamec rig in Belize.  Thing was an absolute monster but a 3 person op made work pretty easy.  Sometimes though the shot would come up faster than needed and nearly took my head off.  I'm happy I never did much oil, did a bunch of scaffolding and holding tank work for Suncor, did a few years of mineral coring.  But never wanted to be walking a deck on a rig site.

 

Running lines like that from Alberta to Ontario would make things a breeze.  The quickest way between 2 points is a straight line.  Running from Calgary to Thunder Bay would make things easy.  branch off to each major city in each province, Calgary to Edmonton.  Saskatoon to regina, Winnipeg to Brandon.   Single stops off the main line to each major city.  Again, pair each line with a vaulted arch carrying energy lines.  Simple, easy and kills most actual complaints

I know mts pretty much runs all their new lines underground and farmers are now even getting it on their farms.

Theres good money in it but it's something provinces only push when they have the money....

but money wise oil industry still pays a lot more , don't get me wrong Ken ran three crews and made decent money but peanuts compared to rigs. 

But I think directional drilling will be the next boom company wise....

Directional drilling and steam drilling/injection is WHY the permian and Bakkan fields are so much more profitable than Alberta right now.  There's fields in Sask that are doing great with directional drilling.  Burying lines is common sense and glad more people are involved with it

a few places on that list better well thank the people from Alberta! They go there the most.

Again, and this is a HUGE talking point that is woefully neglected and ignored in his argument.

 

Everyone acknowledges that Alberta has been successful and has positions that pay unskilled labour very well.  It has helped families and workers across the nation from provinces with lower wages, less employment and less opportunity get by.  It attracted hundreds of thousands of people from across the nation over the decades.  Hell millions.  They effectively helped create the success the province enjoys.

 

The net argument is that somehow, someway they should be grateful, but in no way shape or form is their contribution accepted as part of the reason for that success.  Nor is it noted or even mentioned that without their contribution, Alberta would not be as successful as it has been.

 

The issue and talking point is "we're getting screwed, we're on our own, nobody likes us we're just being taken advantage of" which is not true.  At all.  This argument is the main fuel between the division in this nation and especially in Alberta.  This nation was built by this nation, from everyone in it.  Not from just one area, and one sector of the economy, which has been the argued; and endlessly disproved talking point

Surprise! Canada's Top TechHub Is Its Capital City! If you wonder what city in Canada is the biggest tech hub, Waterloo, Toronto, or Vancouver might come to mind, but Canada's capital has been attracting companies and creating jobs in thetechnology field for decades.

But you have to understand a lot of this generation hasn't seen oil crash......or they don't remember.....

so if all someone knows the boom then yea it is unfair....

but also like I said all whole generation was raised in a boom and so yea we do kinda owe thx to Alberta for that.

their the ones that always sacrifice their land for the oil sands and take care of the whole oil industry in Canada    

I do think Canada owes Alberta......remember when in the early 90's and 80's the logging boom and how people hated loggers, then oil took over and has taken most of the heat off logging and other industries
