Yeah, he's there about every other morning. He's pretty shy but that day he was enjoying the heat too much to bother about me I guess.:lol:

That's right, its an oil location. The treater is what the fluid goes through and the water, gas and oil are broke out and seperated. We use well gas to run a burner that heats the fluid.
