Why is this video much more organized and steady paced. Than your average rough neck video. Usually it's two knuckle heads with no shirt who don't know what their doing but are "working hard"
Back in the 70s and 80s casing hands made more money than anybody they got paid by the foot and they drove from job to job sleeping little bit here and there Doing a lot of speed I knew a guy and I might see him couple times a month in the bar. I was a driller and he made twice as much as I did because of all the hours he did
Spent a many if weeks sometimes a month waiting for my Husband to come from the rig. I don't miss those days of him being gone but I sure do miss the money. Let's Go Brandon
I remember running big casing Back in the early seventies Is back in the early seventies. Use the Crane to run the casing up to the Vdoor. You showed up on location with the Crane and you didn't leave until the job was done lay down pipe And run casing. Good old days wonder I feel the way I do.
From. Canada Casing crews were. well. paid. more than. the rig crew when I worked in. Alberta back in the mid 1960s and yes the casing crew had. to stay on the rig. until Last joint of casing was run in the hole . Also. back in the day most guys hung around the bar’s. including myself out around Edson, Alberta , It was guaranteed back then. you would run into a driller or. toolpush and get. hired too go out to work on the rig and most of the rigs were back working in the bush (you would stay in the. rig camp , trailer’s on steel skid’s)and. you got free room and board and the meals were excellent, I heard some guy’ s that didn’ t want to stay in camp stayed in some nearby town received some type of Living allowance ( were well paid. back then ) And I do remember one thing you the rig hand if you stayed tell the hole was. drilled and the derrick was Layed down you received a. good cheque. along with. your regular cheque it was Like a bonus if you stayed from the time the rig spudded in ( started drilling too the end when the derrick was Layed down ) you would. receive your cheque on your next 2 week pay period. the. cheque would range from anywhere from. $300. to $ 500 dollars ( I think back then. it was around $ 5.00 dollars a day some of the bigger. contractors paid more I’ve heard / back then. that was a good. chunk of change , they had a hard time back then too get men to work on the rigs. period and the winters were wet and cold I remember tripping on. midnight shift our crew were running in the hole it was about - 10 or 20 below we had good crews back then everybody did there job. well , no slacker,s and the farm. boy’s. and some of the first nation’s people were real good. hand’s back then, this was in the winter. months and once break. - up hits.

Common Sense and Situational Awareness If you lack either or both, you're going to get seriously hurt or worse, or you end up doing it to someone else. I've watched good hands be fired on the spot for making stupid mistakes that put the rest of us at risk, can be career ending if not life ending. I've also worked with incredibly stupid folk.

Casing crews are the best. Lots of hours, easy work, good bonuses, and best of all, you dont have to clean the rig or do set up / tear down

Oil Field money is the best money 💰

When I was a floorhand I had to dope the pipe for the casing crews when it was still on the rack

Why was my crew always having to move fast AF?
Good work y'all.
Just wish we could have taken our time a little like this lol
I get payed by the footage up north and it’s a lot better to go faster than slower. More money

The guys in Universal Casing dont use that safety device 0:43 Them second stringers heavy. Good post.
What's the alligator smile there off that's how we laugh.
A nice safe pace I suppose. Slow and steady wins the race right?
That’s right

My worst nightmare
Now I know why these rig workers die from work-related accidents. Scary work.

Damn, is this a proper rig?
It’s an old rig. But it pulls well
