Oil Well Abandonment

carlsharp ยท 2011-09-23 13:18

Got the call to help out it the hills north of Brea, CA. Got about 80 wells to remove or relocate for a future housing development. Today i was using a JD410 First I exposed all the slabs, it they were thinner i would just knock them out with with the JD and breaker but after we saw what we had we're gonna run the Cat excavator over to crack it up. Also exposed the four tie downs and pulled them out with the loader More pic as things proceed...
