WhatsApp All Wiegand Hermanos drilling junk iron on Wiegand Ranch in TX has now been stolen or sold, except Wiegand Rig # 1 the Brewster N-3 drilling rig has moved back to Mexico, and is still for sale.
ARAMCO should biuy it to make another
museum in Saudi Arabia KSA.. This is the
same rig that drilled the Wiegand heavy asphalt oil wells in Cacalilao, Veracruz,
( which flowed under natural reservoir pressure from 1952 to 2019,the longst producing oilwells in the history of Mexico ) intointo Sinclair Station #4's 50,000
barrel steel stock tanks ). Frederick Wiegand
Jr was a USA citizen in 1983, and Pemex
Corporate (modified) abandonded the Pemex - Wiegand contracts of 1949, 1950, 1951 and 1952. Circa 28 February 2019, Frederick W Wiegand II was solicited by Pemex - related international drilling contractor reps, to find a good shallow-water jackup rig, and bring it to Mexico down close to Ciudad del Carmen,
Campeche state. So today, after
many, many years; the presidente of
Wiegand Hermanos Perforadores, Sociedad Anónima ( S.A.) is going to "change his story". Revised --Many years ago, the Mexican consitution forbade "royalties", and so the Pemex - Wiegand contracts were called "service contracts".
The INCREDIBLE THING is that Pemex
actually paid those Wiegand contracts
from 1952 until 1983 ! F Wiegand Sr died in 1978, so Jr kept on collecting from 1979 to 1983. That was 31 years in a row that Pemex paid Wiegand ! In February 2019, a Pemex-related international drilling contractor asked Ing. Federico Wiegand II to bring in a shallow-water jackup rig to drill and complete wells
to a formation with Initial Reservoir
Pressure of 16,250 psi ! That is ALOT of
presión del yacimiento. So the BOPE of the Wiegand jackup rig is planned for minimum of 15,000 psi BOPE (SF<1). The water depth is about 30 meters, and the air gap required is another 30 meters.
Since FW is has changed his "story"
about Pemex, and helping AMLO restore
confidence in Pemex (after the huachicolero fires on the pipelines); then FW says that the Pemex bonds do NOT deserve the reputation of "junk bonds" because Mexico has more reserves of oil and gas in the Mexican GOM, than the USA and Canada. OK, maybe it is mostly deepwater, but Mexico ( and I will now help Pemex do it ) will soon beat out Brazil and Venezuela and maybe India in deepwater exploration and discoveries, nerly
3 million BOPD. ( It is hard to beat India.) All SFs should approach a minimum of ONE, and the Pemex norms should so state.
AMLO is right, and he is helping restore confidence in Pemex
and
the Mexican oil and gas industry.
I support AMLO and will now help
Pemex do it. The Wiegand asphalt wells in the State of Veracruz, Mexico, are still producing to this day by artificial lift. Am Ready to work again for Pemex to discover
new oil and gas fields, and import the necessary drilling rigs and production equipment to do it. For sale: ten thousand acre ranch in Northern Mexico

SUMMARY
OF EXPERIENCE FOR THIS POSITION
Fred Wiegand has 3 degrees from The University of Texas at Austin. Bachelor
of Science Petroleum Engineer, Bachelor of Science Petroleum Geology, and Master of Science Petroleum Engineer, specializing
in deep well design, drilling and well control, including engineering well design and advanced wellsite supervision of any
kind of drilling rig world wide. He also has an online PhD in educatioin specializing in deepwater
drilling engineer, and has annual Well Control Certificates good to 2015. Several older ones, including International Well
Control Forum surface subsea drilling supervisor in May 2003 from Well Control School, with the Interactive International
Well Control Forum subsea drilling supervisor certificate. Fred Wiegnad has had well control certificates yearly since
1977, and has authored an article about well control in the industry magazine Petroleum Engineer International. He personally
worked several kicks in his wellsite carreer, on the rig floor with the drillers and pushers on a jackup rig in GOM and on
several land rigs. He worked on a drilling rig in the desert in Yemen, “turning and burning” in a vertical hole
through the Safer Salt. He has supervised "state-of-the-art" computerized land rigs and drillships.
With over 48 years of drilling work, Dr. Wiegand has designed drilling and well-completion programs and supervised
operations on many types of land rigs, and also have worked as company man on deepwater floaters, including jackup rigs, semi-submersible
rigs and a drillship. This deepwater work was off West Africa and Eastern Brazil, and includes all phases of drilling, sidetracking,
horizontal extended reach, well control, coring, stuck pipe, fishing, directional drilling, running and cementing casing and
liners, deep air drilling, conventional drilling with oil-base muds, freshwater muds, and salt muds, drilling holes from 24”
OD down to 4-3/4” OD, bit selection, coil tubing supervision for fishing and well testing from jackups, and well completions
using tubing from 1 inch to 7 inches, with multiple completions, including multilateral completions in fishbone wells. I have
also supervised many workover rigs, including hydraulic fracturing of wells, pulling rods & tubing, and balancing pump
jacks.
Also, Dr. Engineer Wiegand has often designed the drilling and well completion programs for some of the
deepest wells in the world -- setting records -- with the assistance of junior engineers, as the team leader, and then implemented
the programs at the wellsite as senior drilling engineer or night company man or completions engineer. Pustaser #1, basin-centered
non-conventional discovery well for shale gas, Budapesht Hungary; . Pustaser #1 and Mako #6 deepest well in Hungary 2005 to
6,000 meters. Bertha Rogers Well #1 to 32,000 ft TVD in Oklahoma, USA. Mr. Wiegand assited in thed design was
FES12ST1, a side-track well on the Forties Echo platform in the North Sea, using Galaxy I jackup rig. He worked as supervisor
on directional gas wells in the Lobo Trend, Zapata, Texas area with a Flex Rig III. He worked as drilling / operations manager
& supervisor on Admasco Rig #5 on a complex multilateral exploratory well on the East Bank of the Dead Sea in the country
of Jordan in the Middle East, and the deepest gas well in Hungary. Have made contacts for new business in Siberia, Russia
and Poland in 2005. In 2006, Project management and reserve report for Take 5 Holdings LLC on 11,000 ft vertical wells near
Norman, OK, USA. Drilling Supervisor Well Control Engineer, deep 17,450 ft well near Pecos, West Texas, using 10 Blow Out
Preventers and snubbing unit. International Instructor for Haward Technology of Abu Dhabi, UAE, giving course entitled "Petroleum
Risk Analysis using Monte Carolo Simulation, Decision Theory, and Economics" for Middle East oil company engineers, in
Dubai. Trip to Europe Sept 06. Drilling Supervisor, Luksar, drilling deep Khuff gas vertical exploration well in Rub
Al Khali desert of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Industry petroleum engineering courses given in The Middle East.
