A new show on the discovery channel.

Season premiere tonight featuring teams drilling for gas in northern canada. WOW!!! After seeing that show......wow.....Lyndon.....I can understand now what you mean by a stage 3 winter storm. Oh, and the show featured a Bombardeer snowcat delivering medical supplies to a stranded diabetic oil rig worker.

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely watch. It looks like they're up in the Mackenzie Delta region. I drilled 3 wells up in northern Canada a few years back, but a bit further south than the delta in the Mackenzie Mts. It had all the challenges of the Delta, like winter drilling only, plus mountainous terrain. Snowcats and Nodwells came in very handy. Drilling rigs had to be loaded on barges in Ft. Simpson no later than Oct. 1 to float up to the staging site near Tulita, ~400 km down river. By December, an ice road was built across the Mackenzie river,and then rigs were hauled as much as 20 mi. across the bush and mts. All equipment had to be back across the river by the ides of March or it was spending the summer there. Fun stuff.
