its funny to see yourself on tubes..did not know this was even made..me n red clittytitty.driller is Rodney palmer aka hot rod....and cant think of the name of other hand
Nice to see guys trying to help each other stay alive, all that "Black Gold" shit didnt happen in my day, we tried to be the best and were (in our opinion)
Vincent Mondello my goal everyday is to not only out perform the other crews but also out performing my crew as well. When shit hits the fan and you’ve gained 30bbls in less than a minute, that’s when you’ve got to be very good at what you do and be on it before you make a big fuckng mess or worse.....and worse happens more than we like to think.
I worked around Garden City with this guy who worked for a company that was on that show. Big Dog Drilling He thought he was cool. Cried when he got run off his 2nd hitch.
We could step in the last Man's boot's and git r done.and when you got sent after something,it was right there,where it was supposed to be.we knew what the next Man was going to need.and we were ready,we drilled well's with just one person.sometimes asleep.
Good old times, four man crew, no “crying”. Need to adjust the brake handle and open the water on the hydra matic a little bit. When was the last time you “threw chain”? Just awesome!
2016. Van Horn tx. Felt like i was bakk in the old days. Lost circulation at 300 ft. No return. After $100k in lcm. Company man went home. We were way out there in the boonies. Waited 5 days for trucks. SCRUB N PAINT
Okay, I uploaded this video about 9 years ago. I’m just wondering where my $1 per view is? RU-vid I have 155K+ views and I ain’t seen a penny. I want my money and I want it now lol
There are two large dials in the background. Those crew members seem to look at them a lot......ESPECIALLY the driller. Those are probably the rig clocks. How can work get done when everyone is looking to see what time it is???
Shit drill,you running the rig or your a hand,? In my book your both, I rouchnecked long ago,drills would earn there spot!! Knew the rig,had a little common sense, and could work the pits, Rigs now a day's rely on technology, which is great, We went from homesteading a hole,to drilling six well pads,walking derricks, spinning chain,too iron rouchnecks,joystick brake handle inside top doghouse bubble, hell I use to could,now you have too study for them random tests, I guess God
little late to answer but the faster you finish a connection the faster you can get back to working on whatever you got going on or kicking back relaxing.
8 years and I have all my finders toes . Had broke a few fingers and toes, even a steel toe boot on lt stops a hammer hit not 200 pounds . I seen a lot of broken arms hands cut off and a few Crushed skulls Just part of Oil Rig life .
Does oil really shoot out of every struck well 500 feet in the air or is that just on tv? If so is there any way to recover or capture all that oil before the pressure stops blowing it all over so it can be used? Strange Q. but I've always wondered....what WOULD happen if you tried to use raw oil straight from the ground in or for anything? Would it clog or blow up your furnace or vehicle in seconds, or is that another myth?
With Mud in the well it keeps gas and oil under control , I have drilled oil wells that free flow oil be coming right out the well , reason you seen oil blowing into the air was the old old days they did not have or use well control , they just beat down pipes with a hammer rig . and it blow . free flowing wells trucks would come out sipion off the oil from the reserve pit, and pits that hold the mud . circulating pits . after cementing in casing the free flow stop till the finish crew fracked the well.
I'm 22 and I am really interested in this job but I live in las vegas and have no exp. Please tell me were to go ill do what ever needs to be done to get this amazing job opportuniti
You don't need experience, they tech, but it cliques so in a week ull get used to it. I've been wrkin on rigs almost 3 year its money worth working for.
Good old times, pipe spinners were usually there “for show” to avoid an OSHA Violation. We used to “throw chain” for connection, and for tripping in and out of the hole. Very safe, but nowadays extremely dangerous for there is no personnel properly trained with the practice.
Doesn't always shoot up. Those that do are called Gushers. You could use crude oil for anything if the engines were modified for it. However that isn't gonna happen as more money is made from fractional distillation.
how hard is it to actually work on an oil rig? i plan on going to Oklahoma technical school for their diesel program and was wondering if a person like myself would be able to work on a rig while still in school
@@njessica851 cause thats how it is out here in the field, its a mans world, you wouldn't understand and the reason America is fucked up is cause you women decide to be single moms and raise femenized men.
Why is it the chain hand only makes up the mousehole to kelly and lead tongue is throwing chain, and tail the chain with your left hand left hand can go around pipe ,the right hand will break the arm in 3 places if the chain tail gets hung up .
@@alecgonzales706 , from 1978 I worked in Texas left in 82 for a Rig in Michigan they did everything ass backwards , I went back to texas till , 84 drilled in michigan and the driller did everything the way we did it in Texas , he was from Wy . Guess its how you learn and teach your crew . Both States I worked 4 and 5 man crews I drilled 1 and half year Tom Brown AKA Timber Drilling I rather work derricks . I was only 19 when I started drilling I broke out age 17 . I might of keep drilling if I had been a few years older , my floor hands in their 30's They hated I was so young . telling them what to do . they lost hands for not listening broke arms , It was nothing I did , they did it . But I felt it was on me . If I say use the cat head and wishbone , you say no I got this and cut your hand off its on you . I felt bad . I had the wishbone in my hand he refused to use it set the bushing by hand, on his hand.
@@JCcanU most of my family were all over the rigs back in the 70s 80s and a couple years into the 90s, my dad told me about a 19 year old getting halved by the cathead, he tried to fight it when it wrapped up and it sucked him right through. shit happens out there no matter how safe you are, there's no cure for someone truly ignorant you just have to hope for the best but its the patch and the best is hardly the normalcy. ive seen my fair share of mangled men, tough and sad to experience but its just part of it, nothing is personal to that iron i was taught it will always demand its share of flesh and blood.
@@clintonmcvay1522 what rig is this? i worked on MCG 1,2,5, & 6 for those guys, vidal mendoza was my driller bruce Lombard and his son bj took turns pushing
I am looking for a guy named Scott Brown. He has been scanning me for the last 6 months. And he told me that is the company he works for he is an engineer for the company Eni.
