Love this man. Big respect. My first job as an 18 yr old kid was working as derrickhand trainee off the coast of Iran in 1980. Wild times. My dad worked for Hughes Tool Company and I knew all the oilfield guys from softball team we had in BAHRAIN at the time. Hard work, great pay. Love the off time. Get some !
good Derrick man right there, I been working Derricks for 3years now and relief driller, started on the floor for three months then bumped up, it's more of a life style than a job, and definitely not for just anyone,
Sir you have my respect I used to do the same thing back in the 70s fun as hell 5 gear wide open this guy is awesome it doesn’t matter how the elevators come up you just turn the bales as they come by but he is hauling ass brings back old times good job be safe. 😎
I'm 100% legal Brotha I don't mind who works where especially wut the race is.....if u r white brown blak it don't matter especially in oilfield...... wut matters is how hard u work and how quik u learn.....if u or anyone failed out there in oilfield it wasn't CUZZ ur race.....
Amen Brother. I was a derrick Man in the early 80's. It didn't take size and strength. Derrick man has to be FAST! Most derrick men are cocky and hyper alert. Fearless good men. Can't get caught with your head up your butt. When you are new, you have to earn trust. You work together all daylight hours, 6 days per week. When you gel with a steady crew, you are in a safe place. Good crews are as tight as family.
Reading other's commits ,too funny!!! I played on Riggs for 22.5 years got my first brake handle at 18 in 1977. Started on rig at 15. Set up on a double told had to work up to run a single ran drive ins back ins Idecos Hoppers Wagner Morehouse Frank's and all kinds of one of kind built only thing I would not work was a gen ploe my favorite was snubbing
This is wat I like to see.. U can zee that this man like his job and want to be fast and good as posable.. this is experience and a hard tuff kind of attitude.. hard work . No bulshit... keep ureself bizzy and of the mind.. skills man!
my nick name was latch in 77-85, first time seeing a pulling unit in action since 1985 when the oil field fell apart, I headed for Fl. and never looked back till now, Wow I did this for years and what a trip it was. Faster was better if the crew could keep up and you trust the operator, could not get past me at any speed.
right on thats awesome. just finished my first day on a service rig, worked on a tele double for a year. think i like servicing better. less scrubbing, more trippin . and best of all no fuckin samples! just wish service riggs had the same kind of tongs as drillin rigs
This man can latch some pipe dang!!! I'm an operator. Lot of guys don't like it. I'd rather be trippin for 12 hours a day twenty days straight then paint and scrub a few hours a day. Biggest difference workover can't pull nearly as much but boy can we scream in and out the hole. Be safe guys
Why y'all hating. Anybody can latch when it's slow as hell. Not just anybody can latch with the blocks running at you full speed. Those blocks can move and you gotta be quick and have a method. I been working derricks almost 3 yrs and I still learn something new everyday. Just gotta "git it"
+rigguyjt , Lol you must be working for Hess! I agree, the faster the better. You get in a zone and things run smooth. Everybody gets in sync. Stopping the blocks takes FOREVER. You damn near freeze to death in North Dakota running that slow. A trip in or out would take half the damn day.
Yep....do that with short bails....lol... My driller always wanted me to look up and make sure the elevator was latched....I got into the habit of doing it........
Niceee man. I'm a rookie derrickhand. Breaking out on a brand new 4 line. Havent got to latch yet will tomoro lol. They let me try one today to go tag ran it to me n 7th but it was hopeless I missed by a mile pipe is 66ft way to tall lol I'll learn I hope. Good job again
was this coming on mornings? what stand were you guys tripping in on that day? that is fucking FAST. I guess so long as nothing severe doesn't happen if the derrick misses. Driller is ALWAYS staring up at crow's nest while raising the traveling block i've seen a string or two slip out of the finger board and fall toward the derrick as we were drilling (kelly rig) on Ensign 46 in ND
When the driller is running them at you like that derrickman needs to look-up each time after latching to make sure he's not 'snagged' don't want to give the floorhand a derrickman-donut on his foot lol
Steady and center that pipe when the driller picks it up from the tubing spider(slips). Bend your knees and reach to bump the swivel when it comes up at a bad angle. Train your floor hands to pay attention to how they send them up. If they have trouble, you can make marks with chalk on the bottom of the blocks and on the swivel. Make the marks line up how you want it sent up.
I'm new to derricks been working it for 4 weeks I can latch on 5th but he clutches out a bit. I have trouble on tall pipe. Cameron rig 6ft bells bv elevators. Any help?
Damn good derrickman quick hands, I'm a pusher for well servicing I would hire you in a quickness half these guys talk shit probably never stepped foot like we have keep it up
Worked derrick for 12 years I loved the job then went drilling super job he is doing most commenters from what I see I think never stepped foot on the diving board cheers
Barrow Island Western Australia forty years ago two IDECO workovers with the fifth gear blanked off as being to dangerous and costly as it was a carton of beer ever stand treed. We also had a mountain rig and before those rigs we had a Freddy Cooper workover very fast very dangerous.
I started on a over work rig after the 1985 drilling rig crash and spent many years latching pipe in East Texas and west louisiana then got on the break handle for 20 or so years, what I'll tell younger men is "stay as far away from rigs of any kind" i had to get old school style and it broke me down straight to disability,
Yes sir I know what you’re saying I’m 33 now and spent over ten years on rigs working Derricks and floors my last five were on a break handle myself from 25 to 30 and I finally got smart and now I run a Hot Oiler and I love how easy it is and how much less strain I put on my body....... working Derricks messed up my knees and my shoulders and my wrist and ankles and lower back..
This is normal all derrick men do this every day and it's nice weather make that 30 degree's and raining with 5" drill pipe covered in synthetic mud that's fun.

It'''s hard to appreciate how skilled this guy is unless you try to do what he does in one sercond or less.
Sir you have my respect I used to do the same thing back in the 70s fun as hell 5 gear wide open this guy is awesome it doesn’t matter how the elevators come up you just turn the bales as they come by but he is hauling ass brings back old times good job be safe. 😎
Bro..."Burnin" that dead line. Good job, man! Good vid, Anthony...
To me you're the best derrickhand that i've ever seen. I work derricks as well hopfully on day i'll be as good as you if not better.
Im 19 almost 20 and I been doing this for 1 year and 7 months and love it
Buddy is good. That’s a good hand right there. Work safe boys.
Out working the rig. Love it
Fast hands and rare to latch with left hand. Nice work.
Those long as bells come in handy.this guy is a good hand
That is pretty quick. Good thing you have good equipment and small easy to maneuver pipe.
awsome....balls of steel work.
Good driller and good Derrick man

Awesome work! How does one get a foot in the door for Rig work?
Am i the only one that swings the pipe...i fucking love it when the tubing slams in the elevators without much pushing
Man I use to love being a Derrickman
That's good latching man. Screw the negative comments everyone quick to talk trash without a video to back it up
This man can latch some pipe dang!!! I'm an operator. Lot of guys don't like it. I'd rather be trippin for 12 hours a day twenty days straight then paint and scrub a few hours a day. Biggest difference workover can't pull nearly as much but boy can we scream in and out the hole. Be safe guys
I derrick on a double worked on the slants and singles. This guy can throw.
very cool ...very quick..... nice job
I was trained on double fastline rig in 1980 5th gear jumps just before the tubing board clutch is kicked out and brakes applied .
looks fun when I quit tower rigging I might try that
Pretty damn quick. I noticed No shock absorber on your harness. Are they built into the fall arrestor or what?
Looks good to me, good job bro.
poetry in motion
dude, I ain't gonna give you no sh!t, and regardless of pipe size as others have stated you're pretty damn fast Amigo!!!!
Skilled technology, very good
thanx lc smith
Working the hangman's crown 👑.
Pretty solid latching, especially considering with those stiff arse elevators
Hey man im just starting derricks in a triple. Just thought id ask if ya had any advice.
I like how you just do your job and don’t talk smack about other rigs or crews or regions. Steady.
matt pernar I only talk trash when other people start first!
Anthony you re good! I'm a new derrick man and I hope I can be s good as you Sr.
Bout the only thing I miss about the patch!!
very nice job man
Why y'all hating. Anybody can latch when it's slow as hell. Not just anybody can latch with the blocks running at you full speed. Those blocks can move and you gotta be quick and have a method. I been working derricks almost 3 yrs and I still learn something new everyday. Just gotta "git it"
John Whitaker I liked working derricks until they started making us stop the blocks. that's for pussys. The faster, the better I say.
Hell yeah. I've never worked for a company that did that, but I wouldn't want To either
+rigguyjt , Lol you must be working for Hess! I agree, the faster the better. You get in a zone and things run smooth. Everybody gets in sync. Stopping the blocks takes FOREVER. You damn near freeze to death in North Dakota running that slow. A trip in or out would take half the damn day.
Well drilling ballet.
So fuckin what. All those stands of doubles are perfectly uniform. Try latching tall pipe in 5th gear. Then you can brag. Js
I used to latch in 5th gear laying down and sitting down 2 and a 1/2 inch pipe
work over is a lot different than drilling, 12 years in mn
Yep....do that with short bails....lol...
My driller always wanted me to look up and make sure the elevator was latched....I got into the habit of doing it........
Bad ass Derrick man right there!! Someday I hope to be good like that
If you want to be like him you suck
DAMN!!! Impressive.
Thank homeboy!!!!! And I got like 4 or 5 more videos of me latching with no hand also. So hit me up if u got any questions playa
Dam nice job man
Good latch hand
Niceee man. I'm a rookie derrickhand. Breaking out on a brand new 4 line. Havent got to latch yet will tomoro lol. They let me try one today to go tag ran it to me n 7th but it was hopeless I missed by a mile pipe is 66ft way to tall lol I'll learn I hope. Good job again
7 th gear must've been a rush, almost overdrive... 5th is wide open but not that fast... lol
LIVED IN ABILENE BACK IN THE EIGHTIES DID EVERYTHING BUT THE BRAKE !
Awesome
Good job carnal
I need a Derrickhand like that on my crew
Looks like a work over we stayed in 5+h gear back in the 80's Northwestern fields around Madison Ville TX
Hell yea! Shit a lot of companies block 5th gear these days
was this coming on mornings? what stand were you guys tripping in on that day? that is fucking FAST. I guess so long as nothing severe doesn't happen if the derrick misses. Driller is ALWAYS staring up at crow's nest while raising the traveling block
i've seen a string or two slip out of the finger board and fall toward the derrick as we were drilling (kelly rig) on Ensign 46 in ND
good times.. :) that little iron is fun.. :) The elevators look like toys.. haha.
Worked a few Hyper Hopper jack Knifes. Those blocks run fast.
i broke out on a Hopper in Wyoming.
Good job hand
VileDesecrator thanx brotha, got a couple more vids on here.
thats pretty good
it might look slow but wut u doubt c is how fast the elevators traveled 60 ft
Thanx old school
Quarter turn on them elevators or is it just that windy?
Top drive. SCR. the future.
He latches that elevator so fast you can barely see it occur.
For one the dope bucket is on the wrong side of the elevators? Might make him look faster?
Robert west this is it
When the driller is running them at you like that derrickman needs to look-up each time after latching to make sure he's not 'snagged' don't want to give the floorhand a derrickman-donut on his foot lol
its coo cuz I don't do that any more I run the rig now ... but like I said I wanna see ur video just to see how u do
Aww man!! I would say you’re the DA man but great Derrick hand after guiding it and stabbing it starts to screw it in by hand !! 🫡
It's easy if you lay out on that belt good job Derrickhand
Yep. Slam it and steer it. In Canada -35C is when they are allowed to shut it down.
badass old man tripping pipe.
Steady and center that pipe when the driller picks it up from the tubing spider(slips).
Bend your knees and reach to bump the swivel when it comes up at a bad angle. Train your floor hands to pay attention to how they send them up.
If they have trouble, you can make marks with chalk on the bottom of the blocks and on the swivel. Make the marks line up how you want it sent up.
Thats some dangerous shit
I'm new to derricks been working it for 4 weeks I can latch on 5th but he clutches out a bit. I have trouble on tall pipe. Cameron rig 6ft bells bv elevators. Any help?
Damn good derrickman quick hands, I'm a pusher for well servicing I would hire you in a quickness half these guys talk shit probably never stepped foot like we have keep it up

Frankie Reyes tienes un número quiero preguntarte sobre el trabajo Derrickhand
I WORKED ON ONE OIL PRODUCTIN RIG LIKE THIS ONE.
No ringer for you..

Man I just started derricks, 19 rn
The pipe, blocks and elevator are so tiny..its cute!
@@kalebstokes2293 lol..because it's true..u offended or something?
big enough to get the job done.
Barrow Island Western Australia forty years ago two IDECO workovers with the fifth gear blanked off as being to dangerous and costly as it was a carton of beer ever stand treed. We also had a mountain rig and before those rigs we had a Freddy Cooper workover very fast very dangerous.
I almost got killed by an ideco back in rambler back in 1988. 😂
WHERES THE ONE HANDED LATCH 5 TH GEAR DOUBLE FAST THEN HES A TOP HAND!!!💯💯💯🔥

I started on a over work rig after the 1985 drilling rig crash and spent many years latching pipe in East Texas and west louisiana then got on the break handle for 20 or so years, what I'll tell younger men is "stay as far away from rigs of any kind" i had to get old school style and it broke me down straight to disability,
