Blasterz enjoyed Heritage Park. Unfortunately, the North West Mounted Police Museum was closed, as was the Estevan Art Museum. We did get a chance to see Lignite Louie, an official Canadian Roadside Attraction, who will haunt our nightmares forever.
Blasterz, being Texans, were familiar with the collection of oil industry equipment including a pump jack, oil tanks, a treater, and oil well operating equipment. When Blasters were there, signs had been installed that were showing some weather damage. We did not see a sign for the Treater.
The signs here read as follows:
"PUMPING UNIT
This unit, commonly called the pump jack, lifts the emulsion (oil mixed with water) from wells that will not flow to the surface. This unit can lift 60 barrels of fluid per day from depths to 3000 feet. Much bigger pump jacks in this area lift up to 2000 barrels per day from deeper wells. Power to drive this equipment is supplied by electric motors or engines using propane or wellhead gas."
"TANKS
Tanks are used to hold clean oil ready for sale, dirty oil, and wastewater. Clean oil is sold and hauled to a terminal or moved by pipeline using a transfer pump. Dirty oil is recycled to the treater for additional treatment. Wastewater is hauled or pumped to a disposal well or forced into a producing oil zone to increase the amount of oil that will be recovered."
"HEADER
Valves and fittings are assembled in this group to form a header. By opening and closing valves, the operator can direct incoming fluid to various vessels for treating, testing or storage."
Type of Machine: Oil Pump Jack & Tanks, Header & Treater
Year the machine was built: 2000s
