that was super cool and also very complicated. as a civil engineer myself i am sure behind every minute of this video lies a big ass textbook for Petroleum engineering who are studying in this field.i just love being an civil engineer because every part of this needs its own experts and if it just like in civil engineering and any other field. respect to all engineers outs the how pioneer new methods every day for humans well beings.
Brought back memories or should I say nightmares from the Williston Basin 1980 to 1982. Very concise and informative. They should have shown this to all of us roughnecks.
I remember those days. I broke out in the early 70s started out as sample catcher worked my way up to driller. Did it for about 18 years. Worked in Oklahoma and Texas . Back then you worked every day with no days off. If you had to have off you quit or had someone double for you. Most companies started giving days off in the mid 70s or late 70s.
Been there done that, 7 days a Week. The Shi**y part about all this is I broke out on a Double, meaning a Rig move every few weeks or so. Then got off the Double, went to the Permian Basin worked out of Odessa, started working good sized Triples, working Derricks, then a Driller. I was Drilling for MGF, maybe you heard of them, they filmed Waltz Across Texas on our Rig, the Crew and I were in a very small clip. Then came THE END. 1 day ALL Drilling was shut down, NO warnings, NO more drilling no where. F**ked me up, cause my next step was to Hire on with Shell and get off the Rigs, more of a Company Man 😁. Then I had to go start Pounding Nails, which turned out to be a good Trade, did that up until last year. Between the Oil Fields and Construction my body is SHOT, I Hurt and Stiff to where mobility is getting bad. The WORST part of ALL this is, I'm just as broke as I was when I 1st started in the Fields 😫🤪😀!
@@chrislnflorida5192 : By "pounding Nails", I presume you mean you were a "Chippy" (carpenter). Join the club. Fortunately I liked the Co so much I bought it and became the "Builder" (I think you call us contractors). I also invested a bit and got lucky. I'm now a farmer. One day I'll retire after they bury me. I hope your kids learnt from your experiences.
its amazing how the use of multi-lateral drilling has decreased the cost of drilling numerous holes in one area :)))) Very cost-effective and oil companies are able to extract oil from a larger surface area
When I was Drilling in the Permian Basin, TX, some of these companies is what we'd call Fence Jumpinh. They would use Directional Drilling to tap into another zone that is not in the Mineral Rights of the 1st hole.
This is a great Video. This brings back Good memories and BAD! I was working during the BIG Boom in the late 1970s &1980s, went to the Site for a Rig Move, there were 4 Crews, the Pusher comes out to announce that THAT DAY was the LAST day for ALL Drilling to shut down. There was NO warning, they just Shut it ALL DOWN. I don't think any actual Drilling started back up again until mid 90s, and that was up in the MT, SD area, TX a bit, that Boom maybe lasted 4-5 years? Working the Rigs, being a Roughneck, was Very exciting, learned alot, met many a good man, Worked your A** off, also Played Hard.
@@chrislnflorida5192 : There's no better company than blokes who know what hard work is. I've been spoilt most of my working life through building and now farming, I've worked with fantastic blokes who's company was really enjoyable. For a decade from 17 to 27 I worked in nightclubs until one night I walked into a club and I just didn't want to be there. My dream job had become a bad dream. I sold out and went into construction. The best move I ever made ... well except for having two sons. I hope you are doing well.
Maybe a roughneck can explain... when they cement in the casing, how do they clear the inside portion of the casing of cement? From what I can see cement is pumped in down the center, around the tip to the outside of the casing where it displaces the mud back up to the surface and then they let it set. Wouldn't the inside of the casing also be filled with cement that is going to set? Specifically talking about 6:05
I worked on some Shell Co. Wells the drilling superintendent was pissed he didn't want anyone to know how deep we were drilling including us hands, after tripping pipe I had a very good idea about how deep we were and told him, some men are just ignorant of facts!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
one’s set up right down the road from my house, keeps me up most nights. i live in the middle of nowhere, so it’s very strange to me. i’ve wondered how it works, thank you for the upload!
U NEED to go take a tour of the Rig, you will be amazed. I don't know where your located, but I'd gamble the Rig is a Double, shallow hole, being there only 1 Rig.

I've never been understand perfectly about drilling operations and procedures but by that video everything is explained and become easiest for me
Shell used to make the best educational films.
I also remember those instructional booklets you could get at the station.

I worked the Williston Basin during that time, I worked Derricks for Brinkerhoff.

I’ve seen Shell wellpads (gas) in the Montney with over 30 wells. It cuts down on all kinds of costs.
Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed watching it
Hatsoff brother.
Outstanding explanation
Nice presentation. Thank you!
This is fabulous.....
A very outstanding explanation about the drilling process in the oil & gas industry.
Hats off 👍🏻🧢

thank you that video makes a lot of things clear for me and give a lot of responses for my question.
A piece of art
This is a Fantastic Educational Documentary into what it’s like to be a Wildcatter! 🙌

I learnt so much from this video!! :)
Used to work for Shell, gasoline tanker MV Northern Shell.
Amazing video

Enough mud is used to clear the inside of the casing of cement
I feel so educated. Thank you
Thanks a million ,
What a clear concept on Oil well Drilling this is ?
This's very interesting

thanks alot for the effort !!!
Thanks for this video.
Most of the platform rigs that I have drilled have been Shell platform units like the Bullwinckel
I want to learn this work
Thanks a lot ❤

I wonder what year this was made.
Probably somewhere around 1950's

Hell. Sometimes the crew heading home bought your weed or vice-versa. We didn't have to wear hard hats back then. Cold winters but some fun times.
A big thanks to makers of this video
