March 18 - Dan's Job


Today we took a field trip to see what Dan does for a job. 
Dan loves talking about what he does and we love hearing it.

The oil well we went to was called Green Acres. 
These are the tanks the oil is stored in.



This is connected to the tanks. 

This hose is connected to the truck.




That's how the oil gets to the truck, very simple.
This wench Turns the oil from the tank on and off. Right now it's on.

This is what the oil has to go through before getting to the truck. This is also how it get's into the tanks.


This is how many barrels that have gone through into the tank.
Before he starts pumping oil into his truck, Dan has to take a sample for testing.




Filling out paper work. While the truck is pumping.

Cleaning up the tools.

Full tank.
The number of barrels that went into the tank after we were done.




And this is the pump.


Wonderful time of learning.
