I have worked for WC. I can assure you that we have never parked the truck on plastic, or chalked the tires. Also, you need to clean the pipe prior to tallying it. Otherwise you could get an incorrect measurement. Especially dealing with buttress pipe
Hahaha they drift slow as fuck, Burress u need a square to measure right and make sure triangles are all at the same point since u can't go to last thread like on 8round
Here in west Texas we make a thread loss gauge either to the dimond or the thread loss measurements so you can tally and drift row by row get it all down then wash after way faster
Use a wheel barrel to catch the waste. Have 2 guys going ahead drifting the pipe, then 2 more cleaning the pins and boxes. After all is clean. Start inspecting those threads and drying them off. Mark any damaged threads down. Fix what u can. Then get the tallies. Keeps the tally tape clean. Then redope that pipe. It shouldn't take a 10 man crew and all that equipment to do that job.
We use a fluebrush on a drill for boxes where I work we always end up cleaning up some solvent does this work well on multiple layers or do you have to work it all on the first layer
I’ve worked for Lewis energy and Trinidad they want you going as fast as a rocket getting caps off and drifting, we’d get 150 9 5/8 pipe done in 7 hours
c1n3man 4:15 shows the triangle. It’s the point to where the connection is made up. Once you have reached that point, the connection is “tight enough” per se.
How does that wash bucket system work for you guys in reality the I do basically the same thing but our truck with the system you show don't work worth a shit we use flue brushes and nylon brusshes????
+Duke Cecil The system works very well. You can knock out the pipe multiple times faster, compared to using buckets and brushes. The downside is that the ends that go over the pipe, tend to break often. Also, if not properly maintained, blockages can happen.
fuck a bucket, hook up a kerosene tank to your truck and hoses, we could knock out a 24,000 ft string of 4 1/2 or 5 1/2 8rnd p110 in 8 hours on location, c,v,d.. have that tallied as the fork operator was laying it down. used to love showing up early seeing 10-12 trucks of 9 5/8 j-55 ltc casing waiting to be inspected down in Chickasha Oklahoma
It's better than the clowns around here using a torch and wiping with saw dust, powerbrush systems really arent very reliable, our system comes out of Canada and is built to last, with real air motors, not drills
Tf! I can unload take off caps drift tally with an electronic copy and clean both ends on a 29k ft job with 4 guys in 6-8 hrs using plastic brushes for the pins and a wire brush for the boxes! (4 mexican guys of course 🤷🏼♂️) 😂
good job!
We called drifting running the rabbit back in the day I worked for PA inc. in Elk City OK. in the 1970's
I’ve heard that too

Right on the cleaning before rallying

Thanks for your sharing, excellent video.
We need those pipe cleaning things on our job we do it the conventional way😂

Man how are you going to say that's BTC connection, when as you were saying it you zoomed into the stencil that read GBCD. Hahaha.
I’ve worked for Lewis energy and Trinidad they want you going as fast as a rocket getting caps off and drifting, we’d get 150 9 5/8 pipe done in 7 hours
Thomas Clay I do that in 4 to 5 hours with a 5 man crew
That’s a three to four hour job mate
We do it in just 2 hours with a driftvac look for trifecta oilfield services 🔥🔥
In trinidad and tobago its done in 2hrs 200 9/58 or less time
What is the exact bane of the tool your using to clean the pipes i want to make a request for one
Nice system.
Where or what kind of equpiment is this
Those pin are clean? Jk good job yall looks good and good vid
So this triangle (bottom part) is the end of the pipe thread?
c1n3man 4:15 shows the triangle. It’s the point to where the connection is made up. Once you have reached that point, the connection is “tight enough” per se.
It's all about the IWC crew out of Boulder WY
I should do a video of Clean and Drift For my company.

I just pressure wash the threads with hot water. It’s faster and comes out really clean if you’re good at washing
WC a good company to work for?
Nick Larson no not really
do you work there? could you message me a little more about them if you know anything about the company
Yes they are
Too bad this is not done on pipe racks 4 feet high instead of bending down all day hard on the back!
That to much work
These guys would be ran off any wy rigs I've been on doing casing/drill pipe
You dont need a person holding equipment and another reading tally tape I can do that by myself and alot faster
Can you show me how to read a tally tape with the square at the end?
holy crap there doing it all wrong lol
Those can connection cleaners DOG SHIT way more of a pain in the ass than just a tray on wheels while off roll fuckin quick inspection on casing
holy fuck..slowest crew to ever exist. no casing crew actually does all this bullshit.
I USTO WORK FOR STS😂😂😂
