All I can say is that... With the Fantastic amount of teamwork displayed in this, this is a masculine form of ballet. Other examples include watching a very good Construction Company, very good landscapers, farmers, etc etc...
Why rotate table if we have a kelly spinner or is the breakout side of mechanism inoperable. Poor hand placement by make up tong hand. Watching this crew wait for fluid to drain from kelly ... now I know why lions eat their young. That guy that worked 40 rough-necking should admit watching theses guys that he has seen females working on a drilling rig. What you think there HOSS?
They are adding lengths of pipe. The piece at their feet spins drilling the bit/pipe down, when they reach the end of a pipe length they have to keep adding lengths. Imagine a rifle cleaning rod going into a barrel piece at a time and you keep adding pieces to go deeper into the barrel. The machinery hanging allows you to spin the threaded pieces opposite to hook new pieces in.
I know the crew are well trained, and know what they are doing, but that all looks so incredibly dangerous. These guys are worth the money they are paid.
The scrawny guy and the chuckling guy who tripped are worms, new guys still getting used to the work. Guy on the left is obviously a hand and training them.. So this is going at worm speed. That's life, you gotta train people up before you can run high speed low drag. In the patch worms are new guys, hands are your experienced men who move fast and smooth without messing up. Mistakes can cost lives or millions of dollars. Even a quick small mistake when you're exhausted and half out of it. I was a wireline/MWD and gyroscopic surveyor for 15 years, then a directional driller for 10. Made my F you money and never went back.
Used to be able to tell how long guys had worked on the floor by how many fingers they’d lost. Great respect for these men from a petroleum geologist for 50 years
Yep, my father got hurt pretty bad when a chain snapped and impaled his chest. Can't remember the deets. I work currently at a truck stop, see guys who work in the oilfield missing all manner of limbs. One guy got half of his hand and the rest of the fingers torn off from throwing chain. Now he has a stub with two stubs on it. It's rare to see old floor hands, I think most of them work their bodies to dust, I know my father did until he shattered his knees slipping on ice. Not forgetting to mention a majority of them get into tobacco and heavy drinking, easy to imagine why.
20+ years on the drilling rigs, mostly before OSHA got involved; 49 total in the oil patch……..still have 10 fingers and 10 toes and everything they attach to. Biggest and best safety device is right between ones ears. I learned early on that if a man does not use his head for thinking he had just as well have two assholes
When these guys come home their wives probably say, "Gee, honey, I knew when you got home that your pussy was going to hurt ... but I did not know that you would bring home in your lunch pail in a bunch of pieces."
this is what tough, hard and dirty work really is. i just hope you guys get well rewarded for your efforts because watching this vid its easy to see you really do deserve it........

fuckin rights I know a thing or 2 about the oil industry and I also know about the mad amounts of crack and coke that flows through there too. Almost everyone I knew working those rigs were coked the fuck out and their lead hand was the one dealing it to them. Some stories I even heard was like you snort this line right fucking now or you are FIRED and yup, the guy said he saw guys getting fired for refusing. Might as well be like hitler's foot soldiers all high on meth out there. What a waste of money to be making the 6 figures only to spend 5 of those figures high as a kite and turning wrenches, gambling and drinking and being fucking morons just so you can be "one of the boys". It's a stupid industry and while I do support humanity moving on to something else, unlike the libtards in university I do not believe that time is now. We need solid technology to replace gas/oil and it just isn't there yet
and/or maybe they just didn't need to move at light speed getting someone hurt or worse. Hell that kid (who seemed to know what he was doing) could have been one of their sons working with dad.
In this line of work, well drilling and other physically demanding skilled labor jobs like rebar work, you'll notice a scarcity of older individuals. The demanding nature of these tasks often takes a toll on their bodies, making it challenging for them to keep up with the rigors of the labor.
i worked service rigs for years until i went back to school, had some close calls like this one time a replacement driller pulled a collar while the b.o.p.s. were closed, almost bounced me outa the rod basket...i was always vigilant and only time i got hurt was off rig after work not paying attention
Good vid, Ive worked on Geotechnical drilling, core sampling with geobore that sort of thing. Cant wait to get on a gas or oil rig. Am doing construction drilling at mo, Windfarms, pilling, driving, grouting and tp installation. Borin as hell.
The water spray helps clean the debris from the outer pipe as it come back up, clean pipe is easier to grip and work with. Oily or slick pipe is no problem its debris stuck to the outer casing that jams in equipment. They are drilling down into a oil reserve geologists have located, once there they will have a concrete case and well head set, the drilling rig comes down and moves to another location.
shouldn't be debris in the hole. They rinse the pipe of and collars or the BHA in order to clean the drilling fluid or mud off of it and they also may not be drilling for oil it may be a gas well granted there is most likely be some oil but not always. Worked in the oil & gas for 23 yrs.

When I broke out we would let 20-10ROP on a tricone rock bit ride for a couple days bfor pulling it depending on the shale. Now a days it drops below 25rop hr and doesn't increase and you know it's not a hard spot or sand formation then u pull it within the hour or formation. You know u started bfor 2010 if u remember drilling down only 1 joint for a whole 12 hours and breaking the only connection you make for 2 days in the other crews ass.......slow drilling
Weeelllll , 25 years go two guys regurlaly handled conections on the mornig tour. Two to throw and pull slips, teach lead tong to scweez and chain hand just had a short tug, if done rite.

When you get close to hitting the “expected” pay zone , could be 2000 feet away. Gotta change from fresh water to that beautiful mud you see here . Plus extra slippery sh*t that’s past my memory. You run into something unexpected, that sh*t will save you and the rig. Just if anyone was curious.
P.S. someone better be their A game as drilling is going slow way down. Everyone knows it. Don’t want to be to early, or to late ! Rig time and chemicals aren’t cheap either to the big guys in Houston.
