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Serious question from a american-german: Why does someone get into a job in the oil-industry nowadays with outdated fossil fuels declining rapidly?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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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
+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.
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.
Just got my first job on oil rig 109 in alberta, i leave end of month as a floorhand, i CANT WAIT. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS. Drillers in alberta make between 50$ PH up to 102.73$ was one ad i saw.
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
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
It’s all about the mindset you have...I’m a small guy myself...just a buck 50 when I started on the floor offshore...just have to find your own technique in doing things
It's my ambition to work for an offshore jobs .A graduate of mechanical technology.10 years experience machinist and 2 years pipefitter at al mojil group KSA

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
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
Apply to a Halliburton or something, that will give you experience rig related. Or depending where you live there are plenty of entry level jobs on the rigs available.

I worked with you guys, in Mexico, I was a floorhand, my respects, is one of the most dangerous jobs ever.
Can you write here about the responsbilities of a UBD opreator..?
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
Can you write here about the responsbilities of a UBD opreator..??
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
I'm sold. I'll would love to be a Weatherford starting out worm hand.
"When do you get to eat a tbone at work?"
As a texas oil worker id have to say every other day probably
food every three hours!!! that alone makes me wana work for weatherford
NO KIDDDINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Dou you wanna work in the Rig machine Just for food?

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.
It's fun , been on triple stand n a double n a single stand as a rousty, floorman ,derrickhand n as of now AD Hard work N be safe guys

I've been on some Colorado rigs that the temp was 100+. I can't even imagine Aussie heat.
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.
Hahahaha. No thanks.
Luckily they take lots of breaks for water. They take it pretty seriously.
Try 50 below .. and do this . Canada Baby

@@Weldor123 Nonsense. Everybody, can work with this, IF they are willing to work.
Definitely safety is first and team work is needed all the time.
These men are Elite 100% respect to them
I also work in weatherford rig 144 before for 4 months on the same position,a loader/forklift operator!
Can you connect me
Hard work but worth looking in to it :)
advice?
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
I don't have any family so it wouldn't be a problem working off. I work 13 hours in warhorse now
I'd love working on that rig out there!
One rig I did service was about 25 miles offshore.

this dudes loock high af xd enjoyed the video. Keep the work up! greatins from switzerland
I’m starting work with my dad soon who I barely get along with. getting 2 or 3 weeks experience in the industry will be good.
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
Damn , my trailer looked nothing like that lol. Bunked with 8 guys in one nasty trailer was the worst part.
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.
Swear i've met that Peachie guy. But I want to say he was a pusher on a work over rig. Don't remember what one though, couple years ago now.
Man, I need to move to Australia!
damn i wanna work for this place! this looks awesome

Where's the chains. We slung chains on my old Patterson 379
Jack of Blades i dont see how their spastic. They seemed to make and get to the point quite well.
These people had no idear how pampered they were. Kids dream of those times and they will never get a job like this.
Bullshit
@@mathewross2795 Average offshore engineering job has gone down 30-50 % in pay.
@@mathewross2795 Elaborate?
You guys are awesome man keep rocking
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.
catlife Aussies go harder
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
Looks like one of those singles , you drill one at a time , no board .
How to have an entry level in your company?i'm a loader/forklift operator working in the rig here in saudi arabia!

weatherford, do your employees enjoy being leasehands? do they get trained before starting work cheers.
Yes
Having type 1 diabetes insulin dependent but fit n strong person , do you think this medical condition would rule me out on the Riggs ??
If a guy who looks like he plays world of warcraft 24/7 can do it? Why can't you?
Well in his defense he's probably a pretty smart guy, actually
In fact that is what they really do in those oilfields most of the time..

Compared to offshore, onshore there's A LOT of space to run away.
Don’t fear pressure, respect it!
12 to 12 that’s bad ass sure beats 7 am to 7 pm
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

where do you work?
accomodations are superb
If you don't have a Derrick hand are you really working on a drilling rig?
Where's the derrickman?
Roaming Nomad this New school Rig called ADR automatic drilling rig, old school what use to work in Kelly rig tonges & Derrick, what an old days.
Khalid Alhadidi this a super single rig. You need a double or triple to need a derrickman
This is working paradise
thinking about doing this, not too sure though, i'm a pretty little dude
You can do it as long as you're willing to put your body through it
I’m 125 pounds and I do just fine just have to have the motivation to keep on trucking and prove yourself
It’s all about the mindset you have...I’m a small guy myself...just a buck 50 when I started on the floor offshore...just have to find your own technique in doing things
Shared rooms are the most cooked thing. Never except a job where 2 blokes share a bathroom or even rooms at times.
You should try life on a Rig offshore...
Genuinely curious hows that
They might work 12 hours but they're paid for 24
I figured because of the coriolis effect that the bit would be turning to the left...damn u globe!
great video !

Wow yummy food 😍😍👌🏽
People think its piece of cake to get into Weatherford..!
what do u mean?
Serious question what if you have to take a shit and you have to go right now
3-4 to drill a hole?! Come to south Texas takes a day 24 hours tops..
Bro can marine engineer work on offshore rigs?
Well that is in Australia not the US
I’m guessing what you call AD I’m Australia is what we call derrickman in Alberta
very fancy rig...
I don’t know if these are different than the Alberta/Sask rigs but no one is smoking crack or doing blow
good safety culture
Holy spoiled. I deem thee softnecks. If you haven't been on a Derrick on the north slope, you don't know suck
Love the video, but the music was a little jarring. Very informative!
If you work on an oil rig as a driller who above you has the right to fire you
Koran Edwards pusher could fire you, company man can run you off as well
