Oilfield Talk
Oilfield Talk Podcast will interview Oilfield Hands from all over the industry & world… who have stories on top of stories to tell about their time in the Oil Patch. Give anyone in the Oil & Gas industry from Drilling to Production… Transportation to Service Industry! Everyone has a story to tell about “that one time” or “you just wouldn’t believe this”… people telling their versions of stories (creative license allowed) or the way they remember it… fact or fiction I guarantee everyone will enjoy listening to “Oilfield Talk”! Hopefully one interviewer will call his buddy down the street who will call another friend… only to have a large group of friends feeding off each other… telling lies… where the next story is crazier than the last… just trying to out do each other! Amazing stories you just won’t believe… but never the less are probably (mostly) true! Hope you will join us for an adventure into the Oil Patch where most people will never get the real story or “inside scoop”… unless you are part of the family. Now… we are able to share those stories… re-live our days in the Oil Industry and share not only the history… but traditions and the crazy people we call family and places we call home… for half our lives. Good hearted, family friendly stories… no negativity, trama or drama… stories everyone will be proud for their family to listen to… and hopefully, our family will better understand why we love the Oil Patch!

Ep016 – Erwin Guidry and the “Marlin 7 Spinner”
After 50 Years in the Drilling Industry, Erwin has finally retired and is enjoying his Wife, Children, Grandkids, Family! He has worked all around the world and has many stories to tell.
I was fortunate to have worked with Erwin… and thankful he agreed to be a Guest on Oilfield Talk.
A few days after recording, I got a text from Erwin and he said he has been remembering more stories and writing those story ideas down and now has many, MANY more to tell… you bet I will be recording Erwin again as soon as possible!
The recording environment wasn’t that great… on a sidewalk next to the main road… at an O&G Hiring Event in Lafayette that had people lined up around the hotel… and traffic was crazy.
Please pardon the sound quality… did my best, but there are still a few clicks, hisses and car horns.
I will be putting some pictures on the Oilfield Talk Facebook page of Erwin’s new business endeavor… Custom Metal Business such as Metal Art, Smudge Pots, Fire Pits… creating Custom Metal Designs with his CNC Cutter and Laser.
You can contact Erwn at 337-789-9255 or email: LANSEMEGMETAL@YAHOO.COM

Ep014 – Mr. Carey Crutcher – Oilfield, Pipeline and Rodeo Legend… “The Impossible Pays Better!”
Please Share and Follow our Oilfield Talk podcast and Rate the show (5 Stars), and leave a Comment…
Interview of a lifetime with Mr. Crutcher who is 88 years old & started in the Oil Patch when he was 14… that’s 68+ w/ years spent in the Oil Industry, and he is still going…
He is ‘The Most Interesting Man’… Oilfield Talk has interviewed and the stories he tells are just AMAZING!
40+ years professional experience with all facets of pipeline equipment design, fabrication, marketing and sales.
2019 Inductee of the All Cowboys & Arena Champions Hall of Fame
http://www.cowboyandarenachampions.com/Linked_Pages/4thInductionMeeting-2019.html
Mr. Crutcher and CCI invented the “Automatic Pipe Welding Machine” that revolutionized laying of pipelines and enabled at least four times faster welding of pipeline connections and was used to help build The Alaskan Pipeline and tens of thousands of miles of pipeline both offshore and on land.
In the mid 1960's Crutcher-Rolf-Cummings merged with M.J. Crose Manufacturing and operated as CRC-Crose International until sometime in the 70's when they became Crutcher Resources Corp. In the mid 60s Jerry Nelson (who had been the engineer working on the Battelle project) approached CRC with an idea for a new and improved system. He purposed to make a system that would be composed of a bevel facing machine, an internal line-up clamp/welding machine to deposit the root pass and then external welders run on bands clamped to the pipe OD. This was the foundation of the CRC Automatic Welding System and it remains essentially unchanged today.
The CRC welding system had some growing pains. Welding parameters were then poorly understood, the operators were not welders and needed to have extensive training and like most new technology, it was not readily accepted in the industry. Finally some trial runs were made and welding parameters were improved and the operators became proficient. In about 1983 CRC Pipeline International broke away from Crutcher Resources Corp and became a privately held operation.
Mr. Crutcher and CCI have multiple patents including:
“Size-adjustable internal pipe clamp apparatus”
Patent# US4140262A - Assigned to CAREY CRUTCHER, INC.

“Pipe handling apparatus for pipe laying barges”

“Automatic internal pipe line-up clamp”
Patent# US5288005A - Assigned to CAREY CRUTCHER, INC.

AUSTRALIAN LAND & CATTLE COMPANY
Australian Land & Cattle Company (ALCCO) was incorporated in Western Australia in 1969 by Jack Miller Fletcher and Carey Crutcher, after extensive research to engage in irrigation farming, ranching, feedlotting of cattle and export marketing. With property over 6,700 square miles, and comprising of several stations, the heart of its program was the Camballin Irrigation Farm along the Fitzroy River.

Liveringa
Liveringa or Liveringa Station, often referred to as Upper Liveringa Station, is a pastoral lease in Western Australia that once operated as a sheep station but presently operates as a cattle station.
The Australian Land and Cattle Company was incorporated in 1969 in Western Australia by Jack Miller Fletcher and Carey Crutcher.[8] At its height, the company owned seven prime Kimberley stations covering nearly 20,000 square kilometres (7,722 sq mi) and carrying 100,000 head of cattle.[9] Among the properties acquired were Camballin and Liveringa stations. At Liveringa the company cleared 25,000 hectares (61,776 acres) of land to grow sorghum under flood irrigation; the crop was then used in company feedlots to fatten cattle.[10] In 1972 the last of the sheep were sold off to stations in the Pilbara and the only stock remaining were cattle.
