Woooww!!! Really smooth operation roughnecks 💪 Smart Set up a tool on topdrive to torque and unscrew the casing lifter. Avoiding all hazards with equipment and tongs. I imagine only the backup tongs at first to run a few... Great job, I really miss all that action offshore after 25 years
Man things sure change fast with those iron roughnecks. I broke out on a Cardwell which was like beautiful dancing and got out on a National which was like getting beat up for a days work.
Funny that with all this technology, you still just needed a long nail and a crescent wrench to attach a stabilizer to the tool joint of a casing string . We had a box of nails on my tri-plex pumps to take care of a pop off. You rarely know why it pressured up at that time.Pump pressure ? liner needed to be replaced? Flow line was plugged up? The intake of the pit(suction) end was plugged? And those are surface incidents. I could go on with downhole problems as well but we would be here all night
Ralph Averill it depends on the thickness of the casing and the weight of the casing. It could be anywhere from 15 to 40 pounds per foot so it could be anywhere from let’s say 150,000 pounds to 400,000 pounds for a 10,000 foot strong. Some of these rigs can lift anywhere from 1 million pounds or greater. Hope that helps a bit
Thanks for posting... very clear video, got to see all operations going on... even the 'beep beep beep' loader. Question... which part is the 'nubbin'?
@@Biglongnpainful so thats what i was machining the other month lol. I saw the drawing name and was like, lift nub, wtf? Never heard of it. Now i know lol
Cada equipo de perforacion tiene sus pro y sus contras, este equipo tiene su principal caracteristica que empuja hacia abajo, puede conectar y circular en caso de un puente...el exito de la perforacion es aterrizar el csg. Circular y cementar....
Had to give this vid a like. Nice. Is that the regular drilling crew? That would explain the extra man. A casing crew would use one less man on the floor.
On a small coring rig we just use the winch and screw them using chain wrenches, a lot harder than this but we dont go as deep, still this is a lot easier
My gosh they have so much easier these days. We used to hafta man handle every bit if that. I mean we had strongest fearless guy in the Derek to handle that big casing pipe. Man I need to go back to doing with it like this
there are many comments on this operation: 1-why not using the API Casing thread compound before making up connections!! 2-you have not to remove the thread protectors from the pin threads until catching the casing joints into the rig floor to keep threads from the shocks 3-avoid spinning the joints fast for connection to avoid thread burning due to high rotation speed . 4-using safety clamps in case of slips failure. 5-I was wondering to how much weight limit this 2"link can hold and how he can know if he reached the optimum torque limit, no one say through the martin dicker :) :)
This is not the way I used to run casing in the 80's.... sure it's way safer, but we never had accidents running casing, but good Lord it's slow! Why do they need two men on the floor to run it this way? It's easily a one man job! No pulling slips, no wedding band clamps etc... Geesh... roughnecks sure got it easy these days!
SuperDave21 that's the way we do still on my old school fuckin rig (only a double tho) but it's like looking at some sort of dark magic since I've never been on something so new
SuperDave21 - Totally agree. Back in the late 70's/early 80's we'd have had 3+ strings down in the time it took for them to get one down as shown in this video. I'm surprised at how slow it is, given the cost-per-hr for a rig. Tripping [drill pipe + collars] or running casing, etc. was WAY faster than this "modern" vid. Safer in this one? Maybe, but in my 5 yrs I never saw an accident caused by tripping pipe. Other causes, yes! But not running pipe into the hole. Even when we used chains!
It appears the handle on the pin has to be rotated to vertical for it to come out. There is a groove on the small square on the part that goes up and down and rotates that keeps it from coming out.
JOEL MORALES ha don’t make me laugh, I’ve been on some 26-27k holes before bro on land and we had a forum remote controlled catwalk that the motorhand runs and a casing crew worked the floor with a power tong
The thing that they're screwing into the box end of the collar are nubbins. The Blue thing he smashed the thread protector off the in end is a centralizer.
The weight of all that casing only holding by buttress threading when going into the hold..what's the reading on the Martin Decker..one casing 47ppf if is 9 5/8....67ppf if is 13 3/8🤔🤫
super safe that's why i don't like it takes longer ... I like to work to hard for how slow this process is ... (Now days ) here in Pennsylvania though the safest company wins .... it goes on there report card if any body gets hurt slamming in casing because some person bitched about a pinched finger
Kinda slow, I run 9.625" casing Vam Top 38 joints and hour offshore on the Brent Delta in 1998 using a Weatherford lamb tong. Could also use a small table to place nubbin on, cuts out all that bending. Anyway nice video.
That's alright there,I'm just wondering what the cost of that tool is and it's operating cost is vs.that of cost of torque operation may be.as far as safety it seems good.
Hi friend I’m looking for new opportunities if any one can help me I’m a maintenance mechanic I’m working with Alghaith oilfield company but he’s contract here in Algerea it’s and With high respect.
