The Hidden Oil Rigs of L.A. 😱 Before Los Angeles was known for making movies, it was known for making something else; oil. Believe it or not, L.A. used to be a small seaside town until the late 1800's. In 1892, Edward L. Doheny discovered the first successful oil well near present-day Dodger Stadium. The Los Angeles Oil Field became California's top producing oil field and in 1901, there were 200 separate oil companies active there. Over time though, the city was being built on top of these oil fields. While Los Angeles doesn't look like the oil giant it once was, there are still a number of active drill sites all over the city. These oil rigs are hidden in plain view on high school campuses, attached to shopping malls, and located inside buildings that otherwise look like regular office buildings.

In mid-August, the height of the main dam at Chimney Hollow Reservoir hit 241 feet, which means it is now taller than any dam at Carter Lake or Horsetooth Reservoir. https://lnkd.in/gf8MvM6M

Angus Measurement Services, LP Special Service Group 🐪 It's Hump Day!🐫 Good Wednesday morning from the Permian Basin, on the southwest edge of the Llano Estacado off the east side of the Frankle City Highway in Beautiful Gaines County, Texas and another hot, dry day. You can tell it is time for two-a-days. Driving past the high school practice field, the trainers and coaches are getting everything ready. For the old timers who remember those days. The aspect of time allows us to remember them...fondly. So far, this week has been interesting. I met with Matthew Hill with Knight Fire Specialists LLC and got a look at the new Defender set up for the API 12F standard field storage tanks from 12-20 feet diameter. The Defender fits through most standard 8-inch gauge hatches. Once you open the gauge hatch it takes about 15 seconds to install it. Video is coming. What excites me about these units is how once installed, that's it. There is no button to push, no engines or motors to start, no solutions to keep up with on maintenance to do to the unit. If there is a fire, it takes a temperature above 185-degrees F (85-degrees C) for the unit to operate. The entire unit takes about 15 seconds to discharge. About as third grade simple as it can get. These can also be installed on fiberglass tanks with an attachment to the standard gauge hatch. A little more involved than a steel tank but all it requires is a little lefty loosey righty tighty. On either type of tank, no hot work or drilling is required. And yes John Cornell these can go on bolted tanks. Any questions, hit me up or contact Matthew Hill or the guy responsible for inventing and engineering this, Stephen Knight. https://lnkd.in/gziF-U8R One of the reasons the Special Service Group of Angus Measurement Services, LP exist is to provide service and expertise to the AST industry. When I saw this and started talking to Stephen Knight i saw how this can offer tank owners a way to prevent damage and expense from a fire on a tank. A fire on a tank can be devastating not only on the damage and possible loss of the tank itself. but environmental damage if the tank leaks or the worse thing a loss of life from someone around the tank or a emergency responder.
