Those two guys are real good at what they do: the purple guy on the chain has strong shoulder muscles, the other guy is guiding a lot of weight (lot of work there). Well done you three guys.
Tripping pipe is a four man, on some rigs a 5 man, operation.The guy closest to the camera is the driller, he controls the draw works. He makes the block go up and down and the chains pull at the appropriate time. The floor hands work on the rotary table, a large metal floor that rotates under their feet. They set the spinning chain, tongs, and slips. The derrick hand, not seen in videos, he is about 80 feet above these guys working the monkey board. He controls the top of the drill stand and latches or unlatches the elevators. Each cycle starts when the roughneck kicks in the slips which hangs the pipe off in the rotary table, and the driller stops. Unlatch the elevators then the driller raises the block back up the derrick. The derrickman then unracks a stand of pipe, either around 90 or 30 feet long; depending on the rig. As the block comes up the derrickman drops the pipe in the elevators and latches them, usually without the block stopping until it picks the stand up. A floorhand controls the bottom of the stand and stabs it into the stump, or top of the stand that was just lowered. Then his partner throws the chain up so the driller can pull it and spin the threads in. Then the tong is set to torque the pipe together. Pull the slips lower the stand, set the slips, and repeat for potentially 12 hours straight, for weeks on end. Everything those guys are touching will kill them and not care. It is louder than working in the center of a jet engine, and most people that do it are poorly educated and have drug or alcohol problem. Is great and I miss it everyday.
So what are we watching here? Is this casing pipe going down the hole two sections at a time? Anybody? And where's the never seize? Or by the time the cement/grout gets pumped around the casing, there's no unscrewing it anyway?
@@djinn666 Hi! Did you get my response to you of earlier today? (yesterday afternoon) RUclips seems to have taken it down. It had two links in it, and now I don't see it. Did you see a response from me yesterday afternoon? Thanks!
Not sure of your point but I think you are overestimating how capable machines are over people. For instance the auto industry now "employs" thousands of machines/robots that are great at doing the one think they were employed to do. Can't be a one discipline worker here.
They make this look easy

I could not imagine doing 8 hours of that. Talk about having to be strong and in shape.
They work 12s 😂
It s 12 hours , i used to run 3 stand in 2 minutes. But not today with safety officers on head.
Try 12 hours. 24 hours a day 7 days a week with 2 shifts
@@charlessarver8350 I would imagine this is a young mans game? I wonder what the normal age bracket is on this.
😢
I worked for sun well service in the Mandaree area of the Baken and I sure do miss it too. Great hustle brothers.
Meu sonho trabalhar com essa função. Como se chama essa operação ? Trabalho com movimentação de cargas e logística na Vix
Thats a little Double, good Chain Chunker
Where is the pipe dope? and so glad I worked with a top drive. 90-foot stands instead of 30-foot stands.
Wildman,u talking Triples, Doubles and Singles.
I was a Driller, Never saw a single except in Water Wells.
@@chrislnflorida5192
They got 2 singles in Kern County Cal.
If it's the standard 30ft joints, then that looks like a double, but they could be using 45ft joints.
This # 1 $$ Crew kicking it.
It came in 5 gal bucket and pusher on every rig joints were 30 foot long good 👍 times
And you be tripping for twelve hours!
Can y'all explain how it works? It's so cool

@@waltertaylor7667it seems You know what You are talking about My man. I know is very demanding, But let me ask You.. is this very dangerous?
@@danielvega9185 yes
These guys are pros for sho. They’re tripping back in the hole btw. 👍
Deus abençoe sempre vcs
Worked around rope, cable and chains my whole life. When someone got hurt it usually started somehow with those.
This looks like an interesting challenge
I miss this so much
Getting it done! Easy money!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
🎉13 hour shifts likely
Easy job, no drama action only.
Nothing much to glorify.
this goes deep .O

It's drill pipe they are tripping back in the hole.
Bon duo...pas de geste inutile 😊
Ruffneck 💪🏻💯
How much you think these nukkas getting paid an hr?
get em cowboys
How come there's no machine that can do this faster and safer? You really only need 2 hydraulic arms with some grippy rollers to provide the torque.
there are machines. videos on RUclips.
@@CuriousEarthMan Why aren't these guys using that then?

@@CuriousEarthMan I didn't. RUclips does take down comments with links unfortunately because some people try to spam adverts.

Those two are in love. You can tell
False title. They are not drilling. More likely they are putting in casing after reaching their target. Please title videos correctly.
Did you READ the title...??
*OPERATION...
The title is 💯
They ain’t putting in casing they tripping in the hole more than likely to start drilling again. Who knows
That’s not casing
