Upstream Data equips a stranded natural gas well with 3x Hash Generators to export natural gas to the bitcoin network. #ohmm Contact us at: blog.upstreamd...
I always like stumbling across people's out of the box ideas. There are many natural gas wells drilled and capped waiting for use. This is a great way to use them without jumping on existing grid infrastructure. Its a double win. I would ask one thing, how do you assure internet service? I am guessing this one is close to a populated area since I see roads. Just curious.
Curious child there, 1) How well does the engine manage sulphur content in gas? 2) would retired turboprop engine make $ sense for this? Father's friend has dozens of retired 700hp m601 turbines in hangar, but even tho most of them could be potentionally brought to life for non-aviation purpose, its market value is basically scrap.
I'd love to work on an operation like that. I build and manage my own rigs already. I'd be happy in a well stocked bunk house for months on end aslong as something like Starlink was included. I'd help squeeze in as many racks as possible for a reasonable share of the coin. Hit me up. I'm in Edmonton.
It has been a long time but knowledge knows no limits.... The natural gas that is being burned here and released as CO2 and water was being released as raw natural gas into the atmosphere...not even burned off. Methane and natural gas are at the very top of the list of green house gases. This is massive pollution reduction. Look into how much natural gas is vented out raw and it will floor you.
The computers he says repeatedly are old... the genset building has no oil to pool and burn, they are in steel building in the middle of no where... what exactly is to be lost but the genset and the bit coin miners? If there is any pressure drop anywhere on the fuel it all shuts down... I was more worried about the computers over heating when the genset shuts down for some safety reason and does not allow time for the boards to cool before shut down. Safety is relative to the money you are making.
Thanks for sharing this Steve.
Freaking awesome. Thanks for sharing!
nice work guys, this is awesome! Super Inspiring as well!
Newbie here. How did you acquire your well and how much did the skid separator cost? Thank you. So much to learn.
what is the engine oil of choice for those generators?
The well is free flowing, right?
I don't see any artificial lifts of any sort. Also, what's your pressure going to the generator? Thanks!
Great to see.
Nice! I would like to get into this, do you guys need any boots on the ground in central TX ?
This is pretty cool. Good idea! Great even.
What genset is that? I wonder if an operation like this could run on biomass from farm animal manure.
Can you recommend where Ii can I search for stranded natural gas wells?
Pretty tough to source. You have to typically know someone in the industry who knows your area.
Thank you!
Buenísimo 😊
Any security on site?
Hey what is the minimum input (psi or kw) for these generators. You said you have a 400psi well, that is a lot.
The 50kw engine uses ~15mcf/day
I’m I the only one to spot the late model small block Chevy?
0:28 , that regulator needs to be re-clocked so the vent faces down.

These huts can be outfitted with a cellular antenna. You drop a SIM card in and can get 3G service.
@@upstreamdatainc How much Bitcoin do you mine on average?
Very nice
How many mcf does this size operation need on a daily basis? Thanks for sharing!
15mcf/day for a 50kw engine.
awesome project / idea
How much gas (ft^3/day) are you getting off that well?
Our 50kw engine uses ~15mcf/day
Awesome , a few km from my house , natural gas burns 24 hours 365 days ... Lool
How are you communicating the network? Blockstream satellites?
3G cell antenna.
what do you mean by stranded? that you’re mining on a land where you’re not supposed ti mine?
This means there is no market for the gas, i.e., pipeline close enough

What state are they located in?
I have a brand new natural gas 1MW Genset that would be perfect for this.
WoW 🤩
bad ass!
Can normies capture stranded energy & mine bitcoin.?
If you have no experience in oil and gas, I'd suggest finding someone to partner with.
@@upstreamdatainc where would I even start?
That’s pretty fuckin cool.
Dude can I come work for you? Lol

Hey mate, I’m based in London about to startup an operation, could use a man with your expertise. Where can I contact you?

FUCKIN AWESOME!!!!
LFG!!!
so jealous
Sorry but it is such a bad idea to combine your power generation and mining in that same tight building. You guys are begging for a disaster.
I agree, it gives me pain.
