Enjoyed the video. I worked on a smaller RC rig operation before. We provided all our own meals, and it was tough work. Our pads were carved out of mountains with the rig deck split at 45 degrees, drilling -35 angles. We only drilled 1000 ft (~300 m) on these holes. Weatherford looks like driller's heaven to me.
I Flew through midland texas and talked with a guy who once worked on a rig. His leg and arm where mangled in a rig incident. He said it happens more often then not, lots of messed up guys for life. Dangerous job
Serious question from a american-german: Why does someone get into a job in the oil-industry nowadays with outdated fossil fuels declining rapidly? Really, food? It´s really interresting! Don´t you believe that in at least 10 years you will bitching around about loosing your job? Why don´t get a job at a more modern industry which will be there until u retire?
When my dad went to war, he said they were fed well at camp. Just like these boys. And then he reminded me.... they weren't there for a picnic.... they were there to do a job.
The accommodation and food look bloody awesome! Seriously considering going into either offshore or this type of stuff, but having only worked in hospitality and mainly f&b to be exact I really wondering what the chances are of getting hired.
@@Hedriks any advice m8 I'm a Brit but I'm looking for a new start I don't really wanna spend the whole of my life in one country, i'm 28 with no rig experience, advice?
One rig I did service was about 25 miles offshore. A 30 minute helicopter ride. 4 hours in a cargo boat when it was too foggy for a helicopter and too rough for a crew boat.
i got my 1st jump by showing up on site asking if there were any no shows. there was a guy hung over and didnt make it in what they didnt know was that was my dad and he told me to just go take his job. i missed the 80,s and the no red tape
That is a bad ass crew quarters. I heard a super single sucks. Working underbalanced wells are pretty laid back. We have them 30 day from beginning to T.D.
Working for Weatherford in ADM(Abu Dhabi Manufacturing and Services) and Great Environment while providing the world best Tools for oil wells. Safety is the number one priority in Weatherford.
Wyo AnCap I've done a bit of exploration work in Regional WA. The summer heat during January/February is nearly unbearable. It feels like you are working in a furnace.
Man this shit is easy, would love to work in Australia, been on rigs since 08 ain't ever seen catered camps. These Montana North Dakota winters are getting old.
I've been on many many drill rigs and not one has ever been that spotless, mud,snow,ice ,may be in Australia, I'm talking about north Dakota, good movie though , clearly safety is your number one priority, I'm impressed
its just hot and dusty here not much snow around and you can bet they gave a rig a good clean up before filming for the boss or it was the 1st day there and they hadn't made a mess yet
I worked in a onshore production platform in Rajasthan, India in the wells side and the accommodation was great, and the food was out of the world..something like 50 different items on the food menu everytime
Hello brother..I am KATHIRAVAN petroleum engineering graduated 2021 still i have been searching job on rig...Am really enthusiastic to work in rig and I had applied so many companies but no one call me to the interview, I don't know where I did a mistake..and how can i improve my career skills. Please recommend any advice and ideas to get a job
Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you here, My name is Andy Lee, I am from Shanghai, China. But I live and grow up in Sweden. Where are you from and what is your name. I would love to know you better, I am an engineer, I got contracts from different oil companies. This is my business whatsapp +393511125507 and email goodengineer177@ gmail.com Please add me or send me yours and let me add you so we can chat there?
Here we go. Roustabout, Floorman, Derrickman, Assistant Driller, Driller, Tool-Pusher, Tour-Pusher, (Company Man) Motorman is not part of the drill crew in my world. When i think of what "Bernard Duroc Danner" did with Weatherford it makes my blood boil!......Get injured and see how well Weatherford treat you!
I worked for Ensign for 4 months. You had one small room with two bunk beds in it. One bathroom for everyone to share. No food was provided. Driller and tool pusher didn’t care about safety as they smelt of whiskey every day. That being said I enjoyed the work. But the morale of that specific rig was horrible.
my friends like doing offshore work how many singles men who works off shore all over the world ??? can you tell us ? yes or no.. thank you for the show. good show.
When I was working rigs we didn't had a camp, had a small caravan, parked it nearby at a farmers place, cooking my own food, or take out chinese. You guys are spoiled now every 3 hours food. Shit wish I was young again.
Nabors in Williston North Dakota will Joe just about anyone who can pass a drug test, assuming you live in the United States. Don’t expect this quality of life though lol.
I’m a mechanic in the oilfield. I come in and help set up the production equipment and repair and maintain it after the drilling process. 20 yrs experience working on natural gas engines and compressors. I’m in the USA, how is the job opportunities over there for the work I do
+Zack Dänekas Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover become an oil worker try Alkarno Oil Work Alchemist .Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my neighbor got great success with it.
CounterStrike211 I know plenty of riggers and they are completely normal but every single guy in this video was a fucking spastic? Even the managers could hardly string a sentence together lol.
Hey guys. Is it easy to land a job as a leasehand if you're looking ti switxh over from an office job? I'm Canadian, I'd like to try this out in Australia. Pay's better and it's not cold as fuck as in Alberta
I work in AU and US. AU is the place to be as far as easy work. But US is definitely the place to be if you want to gain the most experience, in my opinion.
Dev PlayzYT things are much different since then...al lot of more safety rules to follow to help prevent that type of incident...plus that was more of a “ who is bigger” type of problem
Hi sir I am mechanical engineer. And I have an opportunity to work in the frac department as GET role .so is it good option for mechanical engineer and what are s role of mechanical engineer in frac department
I worked with you guys, in Mexico, I was a floorhand, my respects, is one of the most dangerous jobs ever.

This rig life is heaven like as compared to most of the rigs I have been.
Yeah in Australia they are all way smaller and easier to work on. Plus they supply you with awesome food 24/7
and they are super strict on hours. You rarely work over 12
This is the recruiting video, the actual realities change on site.
It's actually not that much different from the video in Australia. They have it good. If I was single I would gladly stay on hitch a shit ton.
George Antony true

Boomers and there storied lol this ain't the 20th century safety standers are much more rigged
@@jd6681 especially if they’re company was horrible too
Or you can't pay attention to simple instructions. People learn the hard way sadly
"When do you get to eat a tbone at work?"
As a texas oil worker id have to say every other day probably
I'm sold. I'll would love to be a Weatherford starting out worm hand.
currently looking into a drilling job and this is an eye opener!!!!! 1+
son I don't think that you will just jump into a drilling job at least on a real rig which isn't the case in this vid. just an eye opener!!!!
This rig is different
The new fella “Put out and didn’t mind getting down and dirty”! Moved up the ranks quickly......
Think I’ll stay away from the rigs!!!
Your all good as long as you keep your head down and your bum up! Lol
I would move to Australia right now to get to work with a competent team in a healthy environment.
food every three hours!!! that alone makes me wana work for weatherford
NO KIDDDINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Maybe you could be a chef
@@Weldor123 huh?
@@Weldor123 Nonsense. Everybody, can work with this, IF they are willing to work.
I'd love working on that rig out there!
Definitely safety is first and team work is needed all the time.

Hahahaha. No thanks.
Luckily they take lots of breaks for water. They take it pretty seriously.

@@gsharp1860 A true Canadian I see, always trying to one up everybody in any conversation. Get the same temps in Wyoming baby. You're not special.
Hard work but worth looking in to it :)
advice?
Looks like one of those singles , you drill one at a time , no board .
Good vid mate, just wanting to know how to go about getting a entry level job there?

Deepwater Horizon brought me here but this is probably different as this appears to be on land. Informative peek into the rig guy's lifestyle.
This type of land work is unheard of. They are using hydraulics which make it a lot safer. Roughnecks in Russia and America don’t have it so easy

LMFAO. I'm a contractor in the oilfield and never see any rigs with setups like this!
Brian B. Well u don’t know shit then!!
Go to AU. Most of them are similar
Lol all the floorhand does is dope the pins, thats easy money all day right there, 24 hrs on D&C side for me!
Thats total bullshit
weatherford, do your employees enjoy being leasehands? do they get trained before starting work cheers.
Yes
Bro can marine engineer work on offshore rigs?
I came for the Vegimite!
Dude I worked on H&P flex rig 3 and I want to apply to weatherford
12 to 12 that’s bad ass sure beats 7 am to 7 pm
If working a land rig, you are mostly put up either on location in a trailer or hotel room at the nearest town.
...with one trailer as the mess hall.
I figured because of the coriolis effect that the bit would be turning to the left...damn u globe!
Time to buy Weatherford!
If you don't have a Derrick hand are you really working on a drilling rig?

Donivan Karfelt get on a rig with Patterson fuck that pressure pumping shit.
is the salary the same offshore vs onshore? I've never seen a job like this on land
what is the job title?
Actuality in the offshore you will have more salary, maybe an increase by 20-25%
There are rigs on land in canada too.
in rug how much salary will get
lol Logic suggests that offshore would pay far far more lol
Fk this makes me appreciate being a forklift tech.
I would really like to see the differences between rig life in AUS and different areas of the US, Asia etc.
I work in AU and US. AU is the place to be as far as easy work. But US is definitely the place to be if you want to gain the most experience, in my opinion.
Canada is the place to be if you just want to be cold wet and pissed off.

This is working paradise
I would like to work here how do i apply.
