16 yrs overseas and I can tell you, I've seen worst connections then that. Nice clean drill floor too. Good job boys.
love to see that big guy clean up the floor.
Being a roughneck I know how much difficult to keep rigfloor clean like that in OBM
Appreciate them
Ours was never that clean
slow and safe is smooth, smooth is fast. shaving that two seconds off might be the last thing you do.
To me as ex kelly driller, this is ok connection. no need to break world record time, for what. same money as long is safe!
Wish other drillers felt that way
@@Paulymuscles from a guy named empty broken soul....picture perfect display of what the oil patch really is under all of the showboaing about how their guys are the meanest toughest mean tough things ever. Its just an existence where you are forced to embrace the suck.
@@michaelwhittman1956 whoring for men
Ziggy Stardust EU-HR as long as safe? Really why can’t you be competent enough to be safe and efficient? When they stack a rig and lay off do u think the fact u haven’t been hurt will save you????? NO IT WILL NOT, if u r not efficient AND safe, if that driller has to tell u when and where your fucking tongs go then I highly doubt u guys are useful elsewhere on the rig. Sorry but it’s true and ur feelings and feeding ur family don’t matter when it comes keeping your job, it’s on you to show how much u want it.
LOL! Youre right.
Better be safe. But the tool pusher and the company man wont agree with the take your time part though they will nod their donkeys on the be safe part.
the driller stayed surprisingly calm
Fuck right
Only because he knows he's on video and the company is exposed.
Hes used to working with an experienced Crew but this time they gave him 2 Rookies and and I dont give a shit Motorhand.Junior on the Dummy side can be saved, lazy ass experienced guy is what he is and the Cookie Monster has to pick it up or spool his rags and get the hell off the lease because he is just a born klutz.
I’m only three hitches in and I really don’t think anyone really knows how difficult this job can be when you and your fellow roughneck are totally exhausted. I love this job and teamwork but it really does take a particular kind of person to be able to handle it. Heavy steel and super dangerous environment
Get some sleep.
I used to write the phrase "Death From Above" on the rig floor....just to remind everyone who was not in the moment and looking down all the time that the single biggest threat to their lives will always be coming from above. Awareness will always trump exhaustion....and eat more than you want to every day. It takes a person with 2 eyes 2 ears 2 hands and a working brain after that its just going through the motions and building a knowledge base. Everything has an "easier way" and once you learn that you do not get tired or exhausted.
Shouldn't down grade your co workers I encourage them show how you want it done in a good way not talk shit on the side line.

LOL. You are right, but it just doesn't work that way in those environments. Those guys didn't have to sit down and take Business Management, where they teach learning techniques and personality types.
And can't have a bunch of softies working out there, they have to be tough or they'll get hurt… or dead. So the guys are almost always "type A" personalities (I think "A" stands for "aggressive" or "asshole" ) where the training is 45% instruction, 5% encouragement and 50% teasing, insults and other berating comments.
From my experience, this environment seemed pretty mild.
Every one was awesome on their first day hey , put the fucki g camera down and show them hot shot , wanker
You wont learn shit out there without being yelled at. Now this cry baby generation is infiltrating the patch too. The greenhorn was doing fine, he was new and didnt know much put still put out, the big guy, i dunno what to say about him. Must be a relative of the push or something cause he wouldnt have lasted long on my rig, one hitch or less is your trial period. There are thousands in line for the next position.
@@keithy363 exactly should sideswipe him with pipe dope
@@cheeseymccheese7249 Stop pretending.
It all boils down to...I am sticking up for the hand, he gave it his best.
Naw. Worst connection ever is when the tongs break loose and kill a floor hand. ☠
or break out with rotary table snub line breaks and whips out all three on the floor
I got hit by breakouts when a cable snapped, broke 2 ribs and got a concussion.
This is partially my own fault for holding the pipe wrong while we were going back in the hole(I was new), but we had a new driller who didn't like me and he jerked the handle and I got my hand caught between the swinging pipe and the tongs. Clearly he hadn't gone up high enough either. We were coming up on our safety bonus though, so I kept my mouth shut.
U seen it happen?
@@Jay-jq6bl wow wtf
youtube comments by drilling guys are a whole new source of comedy...
Alien Hatz yea, and not even the least bit cancerous as the rest of youtube
Alien Hatz yeah right thats a joint every minute or so right you know i think that its always better when you break out and you call ypur wife and she sont know what your talking about
@@itsyourunclebourbon3286 ITS NOT CANCEEROUS
Ever been or done? If not no sense commenting. Different world compared to ANY JOB
@@seyahfarms3470 It’s a world we need to leave behind
This is funny. I worked on drilling rigs back in the 60s and 70s when you used cat heads, boom line, and throw the chain and if you worked Derricks you used a line burner.
I worked on an old kelly rig for bout a year and a half, small locally owned drilling company and I loved it. Throwing chain was what made it fun for me, especially trippin back in
I worked on a drilling rig in South Texas in 1960. John Henry Brown was my Driller. Old school who started roughnecking when he was 14 years old. He started me throwing the chain. Never worked Derricks. Glad he started me throwing the chain. Did not have time to be scared.
they did a better job than almost everyone watching could do.
watching and recording :- 1
Doubt it. The people who work jobs like this are half fucking retarded.
They sucked and the big lazy Cookie Monster is the main reason the connection is disjointed...plus the spaghetti string makes it harder on them to due to their inexperience. The Driller is experienced but not with this crew...2 hands are ok but The Cookie Monster drags his ass at the wrong times and is in the wrong places to many times hes an elephant in a china shop.Rigs a piece of shite.
Then get out there Bob, what you doing?
@@stevenlevernier7357 The first time one of my Hands changed their name from Ronnie to Rhonda then tried to deal with me things would just not work, not ever, under any circumstances, I am in a self-prescribed hermitage until this current weird ass generation gets over themselves. I will never apologise for refusing to aknowledge these little weirdos or the Parents and People who support them. Im not putting my life on the line with some a$$hole that doesnt even know what fu(king gender they are? Not ever.
I would imagine your first day doing this would be nerve racking
I’d imagine so, especially considering you’re working with a bunch of complete dipshits you’d rather not be around ever, let alone have to work with.
your first day on the job your basically the worlds highest paid janitor and then they train you up over time lol.
Честно сказать, да мне палец чуть не оторвало, и я забросил мечту помошника бурильшика, в операторы добычи подался!
@@neilwalkercomedy couldn’t have said it better myself 😂
First day on the floor can be no doubt but once the adrenaline takes over you get into a good rhythm and are able to pick up a great deal. The other floor hand wants you to do well and is there to really save your ass if need be. He helps to show you the ropes and it makes his life easier as a result. My first time was a night shift and we tripped pipe all night long. The floor hand I had to fill in for did not show up for work and as a result I got a "promotion".
Long as you get out there and show you got sum heart cant no one knock you
Clean and great rig floor with OBM, may be great hands having a bad day that's it.
Fella's my hat is off to you all. You do NOT get paid enough. I am a retired US Military Pilot and when I retired I flew EMS helicopters for 10 years (36 total years flying). I responded many times in Louisana to accidents at oil rigs. Been there seen that. Extremely dangerous
work. Stay safe live long and save your money. God Bless these Roughnecks. Safety first
Roughnecks stay in the business a long time, some eventually becoming too pusher.
The main reason is mostly they blow up all the earnings in town during the days off. Then like it or not get back to fighting iron.
Ya know, every one has some good shit to say here. This is a good clean conversation amongst oil field folks. I call myself oil field Trash, have for 30 some years now. I dig you all and thank you for your service to supply America with fuel. In below freezing, mile and country's away from home. Hard asses all around, cold steel to talk to, and the horrible smell of diesel in all of our food and cloths. Making a connection with frozen gloves. Water trucks freezing on sight. Piss freezing before it hit the ground. Hang in there and make hole brother
These guys won't last a day in my fracking unit...
Come on man. Drilling and fracking is two different worlds. I am glad your hands are so superior to the rest and you had a minute of glory to say you in a fracking unit. haliburton fucks you bite. We make the hole and you take the hole.Fuck all you frackers and your million horse allison air craft bull shit.
Truth is yulleait 2. You wouldn't last a minute in the Siberian tundra or the north slope of Alaska unless you had some experience at it.Even you was a worm in your first pair of coverall at one point. Fuck you. worm.
Wouldn't last a minute...ma man when ur working in 120 degrees weather with a sand storm and with 36 hours of no sleep eating tuna straight out of the can and no cigarette cause there's nothing in a radius of 100 miles then Alaska and Siberia can go fuck them self cause it's the same shit....all the drilling crews do is just stand there and wait for the next connection the. Their time is off and they get to go nite nite. They dnt know about 24-36-50 hour day and yes I said 36 and 50 hour days of non stop intensive work but that's ok...looks like we r a different breed of men :D
Ohhh and I almost forgot...we still hv to drive those semi-trucks across towns like zombies for lack of sleep....thank god for coffee!! >:D
Where did the driller hire this crew from?????🇺🇸😂😂😂😂😂
Legend has it they still are trying to hit the pay zone
LOL CAP would have fired us all!!! 😂
My old Driller used to yell out " FUCKING WORMS" lmao hahahahaha
They're drilling with invert and keeping the floor clean so definitely not the worst connection. Few things I could criticize such as not putting something over the mouse hole but I'm guilty of cutting the same corner. All in all a good connection if not the fastest
Jesus christ , spare us the Unicorn Glasses ok. That was a joke and we all know it.
The big guy almost stepped right into the mouse hole at 3:04
What do those yellow things they out around the pipe and take off do?
If that's a bad day, I think you should count yourself blessed.
Whats that thing he pulls out at 1:55 and drops into the next tube? Whats it for?
As a Texan, I resemble that remark. Now hold my beer and watch this :-)
this is not a competition... accidents happened in connection run in and tripping. nice job guys.
Professionals. Tough minded men. WTG you guys. Would work with your Team anytime, anywhere. Nice work.
no the guy hooking the shit up was doing it fucking wrong i know about the oil rigs my dad tells my storys when he was up north their
dont call them guys call them men or boy
I don't want to work with anyone who is impressed with that.
Whos the driller the guy sitting down in the beginning or the the guy at the brakes outside?
judging from the comments most of you wouldnt last a day.
Head of the nail there👍
The boys were out all night spillin’ pils & tossing loonies at the peelers again, eh? 🤣😂
Довожу до вашего сведения, что в буровой бригаде Щ. А. А. при спуске КНБК на бурение на глубине 1770м невозможно было вызвать циркуляцию, запуск бурового насоса.
Причина в обрыве шланга пневмолинии (заявка на шланги подаётся регулярно, но не исполняется). Далее, из-за резкого выброса сжатого воздуха под большим давлением, повредило энергоблок(ПГМ), пропало электричество. Далее при аварийном запуске ДЭС-300 взорвался аккумулятор.
Предпринята последняя надежда - запуск ДЭС-100, но и тут произошёл казус, не нашли ключ от ДЭС-100. Механик Б. А. побежал за ломом, чтобы взломать входную дверь ДЭС-100, и, когда бежал обратно с ломом, запнулся об заземление, упал лицом в ведро с резьбовой многокомпонентной смазкой РУСМА-2. Лом, выскочив из рук механика, пробил кабель КРБК, питающий ЭЦН. В итоге отключилась КТПН-6/04кВ, скважины заказчика встали, и все закричали "ВСЁ ПРОПАЛО".
Приехал электрик ТЛП "Покачевнефтегаз", механик Б.А. начал объяснять электрику, что произошло, но в ходе беседы началась словесная перепалка, электрик обозвал Б.А. "БОРОДАТЫМ УШЛЁПКОМ". Завязалась драка, и, поскольку механик Б.А. занимался рукопашным боем, он легко сломал нос и пальцы электрику.
Далее приехала полиция, начали одевать наручники на Б.А., но сковать его не удалось, так как сотрудники полиции были жестоко избиты механиком Б.А.
Со словами "ЁБАНЫЕ ПНЕВМОШЛАНГИ" Б.А. начал крушить сооружения мобильной буровой установкой АЕ-520RU, но остановить его никто не решался.
Считаю, что инцидент произошёл по вине отдела снабжения, не закупающего в нужном кол-ве пневмошланги и базы производственного обслуживания.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
correction: the worst connection is in Saudi Arabia EVERYDAY!!!
By wich nationality ???

I have no idea what the boys are doing here which would seem to put us on equal footing
We all started somewhere. The driller really should have communicated with his floodhands better, but this is how things used to be and thats why people would get hurt more often. No need to pull on that chain when your stud roughneck has his body in the way of the chain.
The size difference is a pain between the two guys, otherwise the connection could be made higher, and having the stud guy much larger sucks because he has to break on the bottom side of the string. The big guy needs some more training/ mentorship hope he made it through okay because he cant even lift the slips properly, let alone stab or be aware of his body positioning. Glad I had some good mentors who took the time to teach me back then.
You are 100 WRONG, theres nothing you need to teach that big lazy bugger ok he knows how Rig Floors and Tongs work.Its way worse than you are saying, thats one lazy ass Rig Hand just a big tall drink of nothing, I called him Cookie Monster. The Drillers name is Cliff and he was a dam good communicator, we told Cookie Monster to stay out of bad positions and to stay off of his knees many times, he was a pain in the ass that screwed up all rhythm and roll on the Floor, do you know the difference between Rig-Smart and Rig-Wise?....lazy experienced hands are Rig-Wise and they know when and where the really hard work is and they try to avoid it, dont mistake Cookie Monster for a Green Hand. The suckhole taking the video was supposed to be on that Floor in Cookie Monsters position, so Cookie Monster was whiny and did not want to put out.I was just sent out to this Rig to fill in short term thank god.
What Ensign rig is this?
What are the yellow arms things for? And why are there two holes? I know nothing about drilling? And what happens when they hit oil?
I he yellow things are power tongs, they clamp 2 different pipes& those winches pull the chains to turn the tongs, tightening the pipes threads big time! These guys are adding pipe to a long string of pipe, 9 m at a time
I don't know, it looked pretty safe to me. And they aren't killing themselves like it's a race or something. They look like a good bunch to work with.
It was a fantastic crew to be on.
Barnekkid lol well Canada only has 35million people so 3 wells a year could supply them with enough crude... JK my wife's actually Canadian so I can pick
Barnekkid its my uncle thats whos hooking this up
Barnekkid the DRILLER is a WORM!! NEVER break Kelly off driller side!!! Offside cathead design for break!!!
And carpet NOT a good place to be!! Roll roofing tile works better!! I've run rigs like this 46 year's still have fingers and limbs!! Men that goes past 5 years without losing a finger will make it!! I've was 17 when I started I love Derrick's,pumps and working with mud!! The Driller still needs some practice!!
@@haloamerica1420 ....could be a vertical hole with no mud motor..just doing a clean out run on a tight spot with bit and collars to run casing...then you can break drillers side...horizontal hole absolutely never break drillers side
These guys deserve the utmost respect for the work they do. Where's the women that say they are equal to men and can do any job a man can??
There are no naturally born women who could have worked in the Patch even in the 80s...today yes back then no I got my first Motors job by taking an arsehole down to the end of the Catwalk and spudding him....he went home and I got promoted....
wow all new stuff to me. so how often do they do that one thing? I am just watching as I do not do that job.
I'd love to have that job... I'm sure it's a dangerous and stressful environment and the hours are long... But what an awesome and exciting career to have. Hope they appreciate what they have!
JstRelax_101 Winters in Wyoming sucked back in the late 70s!
They’re dying fir guys in Canada. Super easy job to acquire. Pay super well. I make killer cash
@ANDREW NISBET Seriously? What's the requirements for something entry-level?
@@mikeleikam2892 it’s fucking -40 here right now up north in Canada. Rig moves suck this cold so I know exactly what you mean
@mikeleikam2892 my dad was a chain hand on a rig in wyoming in the 70s. Got the job because the foremans son cut off 4 fingers on the floor. Mostly his own fault, but everyone blamed the driller. Everyone walked off and they hired any joe off the street
I wonder if the drill pipe washed out?
Hi, can anyone comment what is going on? They're adding another length to the drill I presume. And those jaws are just tongs to screw and unscrew the parts? Where should I read about it? I have an idea how the drilling works, but I'm interested in the machinery up there on the platform/ground, but don't know what to search for.
Yes, that’s what is what you’re seeing is another “connection “ - a drill pipe or drill collar (used for weight as it stabilizes the drill stem) is added to the drill string - after the rig has drilled roughly 9 meters (average length of the pipe). You see the floorhands breaking the connection after the slips are put into place. The slips hold the weight of the entire drill string. The kelly cock (valve) is also closed off before the connection is broken. Sometimes drillers forget to shut off the mud pump and it sprays drilling fluid over the entire rig floor. You can see the motorhand taking the pipe screen out of the drill pipe and placing it in the single that sits in the “mousehole” before the next pipe is screwed on. Roughnecks need to lubricate the pipe and seal so that it breaks easier. That’s the black greasy substance in the pail in front of the driller, on the floor. Once the connection is made then the valve is opened up once again, and drilling can resume. All of this takes a good crew about 1 1/2 - 2 minutes in total. These guys aren’t bad at all. You can tell they are still learning. The stud roughneck didn’t help pull the slips at the very end.
@@tatyonajoyea6952 Thank you for your explanation and for the terms used, it is exactly what I was asking for. Quite a hard work, I must admit. Guys are all alright, I work at a granite mine and if everything run flawlesly like this, then a work day is a miracle.
K Gota ask. Whats up with drawworks not letting go of the stud chain?
AND THE DUMMY SHOULD BE LOOKING AT PRESSURE GAUGE AND LISTENING TO THE DRILLER. just sayin
What year was this filmed in?
first day back?
This is actually a safe and clean floor. Sure ol boy missed the stab a couple times and they looked like they were being extra cautious which in this job isnt a bad thing
What's company name
I see poor training, the one recording should be held accountable for all mistakes and If any deaths
There were zero deaths, except from boredom.
LMFAO!! Worms, Make it Bite!
Hi fellas,
I recently started studying oil and gas engineering and I am constantly watching videos to get the hang of it. Can someone explain what the guy is unscrewing around the minute mark? Is it some sort of valve to relieve mud pressure? Cheers.
i also wonder what was that it?!! someone explain it. thanks in advannce
i think he closed pipe space in kelly to off circulation
Spyros Zoumperis It's called a mud saver - it's a ball valve in the string, that holds the mud inside the kelly pipe, so it doesn't spill out all over the rig floor - these guys were taking great care to avoid mess & spills, and used a bucket to catch the last drops. You will see them open the valve again as the kelly descends with the new pipe added.
I see.I hadn't encountered that before but makes perfect sense. Thank you for the clarification!
"Need to put some hair round that!!"
dam thats the longest pipe screen ive ever seen and we have to throw slips in the mousehole
Now wait on directional...😂😂
I'm wondering how this is the worst connection ever ? No missing fingers or hands and looks like no one hurt
slow as a snail but not the worst connection by far it almost seems like both the floor hands are green as could be.
Nope, Fatso was not green and it was his Rig, I am in the Green lid and had already worked a few smaller Rigs and I was there to fill in short term, this was my first day on the Rig on that Floor and with this Crew, very first time on the Floor.....I had never seen such a cluster-%$ck before and I was laughing inside but had to go with the flow.I felt sorry for Cliff the Driller because everyone was jumping ship so no one gave a dam about anything.The Rig was working with Invert and no one wanted to go out there.
we could make 1 1/2 minute connections all day until one of the crew bragged to someone then it was 5 minutes at least. spinning chain no kelly spinner
Yep spinning chain love that shit. And yes still have all my fingers and never hurt any one🤘
Nothing tore up no LTA good job ! No reason to be hating !
That buzzer would piss me off after a while, Errr Errr Errr
in 1985..I was roughnecking for Odeco on the Conquest a 3 legged jackup rig. we was timed @ 1; 15 on making a connection..
I'm guessing they put that as a rig service, in the books...
what is that pointed rod he extracts at 1:58?
My tip lol
Screen
God i love topdrives....
Madsipadsi long as it’s a tesco
No joke, way safer, and faster.
Me too🤣🤣🤣
I do not remember Ensign having many top drives. My favorite rigs were H&P Flex 3s and 4s
Whoa! That would be a long day!!!
You can’t use chain and tongs out here in most parts of West Texas anymore. It’s against safety policies of just about every major oil company around here. Anybody else?
No spinning chain in Canada anymore. Maybe some of the smaller scaby cow boy company's still use them, but all the bigger company's phased them out.
Damn I miss that ! I was on 46 , 47,33 , 5 lol and loved tripping pipe !
Watched this to the end, but still none the wiser.

glad they are able to hire so many vertically challenged individuals in a normal setting
Most tall guys suck on a Rig Floor and you have to get them up the Stick and the hell away from the real action before they get themselves or someone else hurt, gangly guys are klutzes. Big tall fat guys are lazy in the mind and do not easily learn technique because they can belly-push everything around but this is bad because they have zero stamina in the long haul and always peter out on you when the going gets toughest. Vertically Challenged my ass, if you said that near me in my Prime you would have found yourself vertically challenged and asleep on the ground at the end of the Catwalk. Just watch Cookie Monster in the video lol lol lol .
God i love topdrives
Easy guys, they could have had an alarm set off in camp on their short change setting them into a whiskey induced runaway before realizing it was just a false alarm.. AmIright?
I had a friend who did this off CA. He said everything was trying to kill him at all times and it sure seemed like it.
Yeah on the Rig everything is out to kill you if you dont watch it.
Its up to you to stay out of harms way. Watch yourself and your buddies and youll be alright.
No Pal its that a lot of dumb ass people are out there trying to kill themselves on the poor Rig. Any monkey with common sense will thrive on an Oil Rig but if you lack that you will feel like everything is trying to kill you or pinch off a piece of your meat or body. Death from Above my friends lol lol lol lol .... the Rigs were a blast and I miss them every time I think about it...even the blood and dangers....
I don’t miss the 24+hour trips at -30c, Pulling 6000m pipe. Cold, wet, freezing. Nothing opens up. Steam, Steam, Steam.
Can't believe how clean everything is on that rigfloor compared to North Africa.
fuuuuuuck i miss the patch
this makes me miss roughnecking and not miss it at the same time. if you're gonna be bad at it, at least be bad at it in a hurry, ha!!
how they pull out the pipes, if it breaks and fall into the hole?
+mandish paudel fishing tools
Its called "Fishing"
mandish paudel then ya done fucked up
They have o bring in a ' fisherman', a specialist at retrieving broken pipe
Spooling in.
Daymn them boys clean af.
I work in this field and I want to work there in Canada. I want the email for this company to contact him
dam now that's hard work!!!
Outdated technology. Heard about Iron roughneck?
Hi, As some one who are new to this. Can someone explain why is this the worst connection ever? what needs to be done instead?
Not much really just guys with ego's and stories of "back in my day". They were slow but by the looks of how clean everything is they are building curve or slow drilling and have plenty of time to make the connection and get back to scrubbing or maintenance and they probably don't give a rats ass as to who is filming it or if its going on you tube. the big guy looked pretty green or just a klutz. Didn't make his tongs bite very good lots of slack when they broke it loose and it looked like it jarred his wrist , missed stabbing the new join in the stump and face it anyone who has worked rig floors has missed one even if its not heavyweight. All in all just picture that connection a little bit smoother and 1/3 faster and it would have pleased the elitists just not the trolls.
Not that i believe they are^, but thats how you hustle
Lucas Lounsbury well put them cat 3408's sounded like they were idled back pretty good before he kicked the table out..
Lucas Lounsbury and on top of that they were all probably all pissed off cuz they had to make a connection on there tower
Im not saying nothing bad about those guys im sure they tried hard. I was in the oilpatch for 20 years. started back in the early 70s back then if a tower made a connection like that they would have all been runoff.
Sure bud
Probably a crew of guys who are all pretty green. When your training someone to work the floor the rest of the crew should be able to pick up slack of the new guy.
Look at all those new coveralls
I used to wear those same Nabors color
that was a good connection ive seen worse
This is before 2006. Cliff was hilarious.
ol Boy is actually Cookie Monster and that connection was disjointed mostly because of him. As usual. Someone was new to the Rig and saw the cluster#ck developing. Cliff had to yell at Cookie Monster to put his tongs on first lol lol lol but the guy on the other side was the brand new guy to the Rig (First Shift first time on the Floor), the Motorhand who jumps in later was an ok hand and at least he knew how to use his Tongs to bad he didnt know how to hang them when they Rigged Up.That Rig was a pain in the ass in Winter.There were some real losers on that Rig and you can hear one suckholing to Cliff.
What Ensign Rig was that?
Lol Thanks
ykb946 There were only 2 Ensign rigs like that. Rig 61 and 62. I've been the Drilling Supv on both of them over the years. I would say that is Rig 62. And just for your information the draworks is an old Brewster N46 which is a 1000 HP conventional.
Yeah Bruce, that was good old rig 62. I loved her!
Mew I had 61 for a year as a supervisor. They made those rigs for Russia and they did not even want those pieces of carp. A 1000hp DreamWorks with stretched worn out chains is worst than a 500hp .It was the worst rig i have yet been on in 38yrs.
Bruce Brown It was even worse than that Cobra rig i worked with you on Bruce.
Excellente vidéo du plancher de la sond
been there done that not ever doing it again. Can still count to 10
Why are you so slow on those tongs?
just from reading the comments about "slow" work.. i guess Meth is rampant in the oil field..
What can you say about that bunch. I hope they are in no rush to get the well done.Its funny to those dudes work or making it look like they are trying to make it look like it. 😊😄😁☺️😀💟
Can someone explain to me why this is considered bad? From watching I take it from their speed and the few (what seems to be) slip ups occurred. I noticed there's a lot of pride in the job and notice comments claiming it's best when done really fast or bullshit the more safety protocol is in place then others contradict it claiming H&S is important and speed should be at a reasonable pace.
Exactly it is bs because some of them treat it as a competition and would sacrifice safety for bonus pay when they are alr paid well
Going fast only benefits ur tool pusher and driller but at the same time the faster and better u do the more likely u will receive a call for the better paying job sites
What’s the wage for this job. ?
I know nothing of what is going on here, but why does this look insanely dangerous?!
