I remember those days Mr Keith. Smashed fingers and stitches didn't count as injuries. In 2004. The Rig I consulted on cost 389.oo a minute to operate. Now if you get a bump. You have to fill out an accident report.

Yep

Your in a thinking man's position. Remember this. Derrick men die when they make a mistake. Anytime you read about one of you being injured. It is Always a Fatality. Keep your mind focused young man.

Yea sometimes 3 is possible

You will be fine ....make sure they have a safety ring on the transfer ...good safety for new Derrick hamds

@@derektatro1640 I did all the deliveries for oil rigs anchors/ R drains/ fike drains/ polish rods /plungers/ pump rods/ bailers and flappers/ etc and got my foot in I’m just excited for this new chapter in careers

I worked for JP Oil Co. In kenr County and our rigs were equipped with speed kits. 12,000 ft of tag. In the hole in 1 hrs and 50 minutes. Out of the hole in 2 hrs. Driller and crew has to be in tune. Constantly alert.

Kern County, California.

@@RobertCHoweSr use to do the same thing with a conventional 6 line franks.

@trevorlayhe1936 6 lines yes, I also

Not sure where I was standing is prob about 60 ft....rig to crown is prob about 90 ft

I'm assuming you mean elevators...yea they pretty strong piece of equipment they go a long time without breaking as they should pretty important they don't break

You have a preference more fitting than steel toe boots?

Are you talking about the exposed steel? If so, you've never worked somewhere where you are on grating and steel all day. I have a $300 pair of Chippewa's . As soon as I can walk again (broken leg) I guarantee you will see the steel in less than a month.

@@acme_tnt8741 much the same thoughts I had. A month is about the maximum anyone can realistically hope for the survival of the leather over the steel in high impact work environments. In all the years I've been a welder it's never been more than a month that I can recall.

@@acme_tnt8741 I worked in the oil fields fore 11 years .

Yeah mine too. Freeze up like a bastard in the winter. Even methanol wouldn't help

Thanks

Yes it's connected to winch line with a foot pedal to work it

Hell yes man glad I could help

@@derektatro1640 now I just need the operator to be more consistent with how fast he moves the blocks and I think I would do way better

Does that bottle just latch?

Or do I have to turn it before I latch it onto the box

@@Drf35k0 usually they have a ring that you hold up with your thumb and pinky until you line up the square on the transfer with the square on the rod. Once the rod is in the transfer, let go of the ring and that'll hold it.

It helps I guess but they are intended for the speed kit

I worked Derrick in Northern Canada for 30 years. I got folded up in a Rod Basket once when the Blocks caught it.

I was working the bird basket and the operator miss counted rod boxes and crowned out. I jumped out of the basket because I knew what was next. I heard him clutch it in and I instantly knew it Was going to be bad. Luckily he didn’t snap the drill line

@@kylepatterson2679 holy shit man. what do you mean you jumped out though, I know you didn’t jump to the ground or you wouldn’t be telling this tale right now

@@Naltddesha I jumped out of the basket, to the outside of the derrick where the ladder on our was located. You don’t want to be in that basket if the blocks fall. Ours weighed 10,000 lbs and they fall fast

@@kylepatterson2679 tell your operator to watch his drum line it never lies that’s what I do I only look up to check the derrickhand pulling the transfer or elevators

Are you talking about one of my other videos with tubing ....yea it's an ideco speedkit

@@derektatro1640 I would like to try it

Yea it's pretty nice and really fast ..we can pull 4500 ft in like 40 min

@@derektatro1640 single four line could do an hour 15 maybe a little quicker if i had a good crew and that was on a 76 skytop 6 years ago lol
