As I wrote in my last post, I was transfered to Catu. It is a town forty five minutes away from Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. Surrounded by valleys, one soccer field, a couple of farms, one nice restauraunts and 10 different bases of oilfield companies.
I arrived to a nice smaller sized house than the one I was before in Mossoro. It has been pretty hectic with lots of jobs that are very different from the ones I was doing in the Northern part of Brazil. These jobs have deeper wells up to 3000 meters (around 10,000ft). As well, I have been doing more of the production type jobs that acquire data of the wells that are producing oil already instead of exploring new reservoirs.
Free time has been scarce but when I do get some time in I have been running around the countryside. Just the other day I found myself jogging inside a farm and out of nowhere a group of cows and bulls appear to my right. I mind my own business when all of the sudden I see the bull doing the little thing with the front leg as it were going to knock me out. I just put my hands up high kept on running and the bull must of seen a pretty cow because I got out of that place scratchless.
My last job was using a very nice tool that measures the flow of water being injected from one well to the other to help the oil reach the surface. As I was running the tool down hole an unexpected visitor stopped by and got in the action…Thats the kind of things that happen when you are in the middle of the Jungles of Brazil. It had to be the smallest monkey I’ve ever seen.
The monkey is so cute
I am glad you are still truly enjoying your job and encounters at work. Even though I miss you everyday, I am so happy you like what you are doing.
I love you, Victoria
