During one day of the rig up, we had to run 4 lines from the Well Test site to the Spitfire Burner - actually the same burner I used before. The distance from the test site to the burner was roughly 100 m. We were fortunate enough though, for the rig to allow us to use they're tubing that was about 10 m a piece (instead of our 5 m pipe). While we were connecting this pipe, we needed to run it right though this pool of water (20 m wide) where all rain water gathered. There were a couple of rig workers helping Burity and me, and when we got to the point where we needed to run it in, Burity and I look at each other and march straight in. The muddy water was only just above the knee in some places. As we ran the tubing, Burity and I would move these large palits and block of wood such that the others could help us. We finished just about an hour before it was time to head back to camp - just enough time for a shower with the rig hose.
