They’re inside the intermediate. Can’t get stuck. I’m sure they already hit TD and also wire lined. The casing crew is on the ground getting their shit together. I laugh that people comment on slip dies. I changed many a tong die in 10 years but maybe only once for the slips.
@@kennypeshlakai2416 While working for Nabors 621 in McAllen Ranch down in South Texas, we once laid down 17,000+ ft of pipe using rotary (independent rotary table) break out tong and letting slips ride for most of the process until we had no more weight on the string.We had started on the heavy wt pipe when relief got there. Although we were “breaking the rules”, Rig manager and Superintendent knew our crew was as safe as it can be using “good old tricks”. All those “tricks are long gone...the oil field is just not the same anymore.
Yep, that's one trick I've never seen before, BUT with a muddy rig floor and those spinning slips I could see a shin bone shattering irreparably if one of the blokes slipped and got caught by the spinning handles!!!
Kickass! I plan to finance a degree with my floorhand cash, as well. Portfolio management is the proverbial pie in the sky right now but I know it can be done! Onward, my dude.
That's awesome. Stick to it! I got a degree in mechanical engineering. after leaving the oilfield I ended up starting a hedge fund which I currently run. I am sitting for the CFA Level I in June.
That hand laying down looks worn out as he'll. I can only guess they walked into laying down and this video was recorded at hour 11 lol. Thank God I'm on days off
If not mistaken 266 was up in Williston back in 2010 or 2011 maybe, the company I worked for at the time had a contract doing Rig Surveys on every freaking rig Nabors had... brings back memories good and bad..... use to be a place called DK's Bar in the middle of Williston, last time I was in ND I flew home with the worlds worst hangover thanks to DK's!!!
I worked on that rig for 3 years, we dropped the blocks cause the Dyno failed on us.that was a damn dream rig.thing was so well set up,we could move it 4-5 days
I remember the days of laying down pipe with a cable hook and a bumper board at the end of the Cat Walk. Derrickman ran the baskets or racks while lead tong and motorman did the floor work. Not sure why the lead tong hand was having so much trouble. On that type of pipe where it has a grooved collar, the tongs need to sit lower, closer to the seam for a better bite. The top of the collar is slightly thicker on those, making the tongs harder to bite, even with new dies.
That job was the best lesson in life a young kid could get. paid for my engineering degree and now I work as a portfolio manager of a hedge fund I co-founded that finances shale drilling projects.
When I worked o this rig it had an st80 then switched to a tm80. Motor man would stand by the driller and push buttons on a touch screen.....What a joke that thing was.
Hey I saw you had a 1983 Honda xr 200r I recently bought a 82 and was wondering what part you used for the rebuild and if you paint the frame or not or what you did there if you did what color did you use
Believe it or not I actually bought it in that condition from the original owner. It was An old guy who bought it brand new and barely rode it. I haven’t done anything to it.
You start looking for another job! hahahah If that did happen and you did not get run off then we would probably trip back in the hole and try and screw into the pipe. if that didn't work we would come out and install an overshot tool and use that to extract it.
Make er bite wormy then push and let the rotary pull out yer cable before you unlatch. Why you laying down your stands? No free lunches on one of those.
Holy fuck, 266 stacked her in 15 when they got rid of us real hands to pick up those new "b" rigs, call it junk, got battle E 6 months before she went in the grass
@@trevorbradish5977 want to say it was around 2010,it was Obama's first term in office I remember that,in fact I'm wearing my Carhartt jacket I got from Brigham and nabors way back then lol.ill have to go back digging to find the years, Butch hilde and Collin hecker was our pushers.
Boss if working on an oil drilling team is in the usa . Theres no reason i cant do it . Tough job would rather be an astronaut or a pilot but if ruffnecking it for 40 hrs a week makes me American then sign me up
Yeah. We had a roughneck that was in his 50’s. Hell, I was roughnecking at 39. Better hit that iron or it’ll hit you, especially on rig move. Be in shape.
@@stretchsimmons6562 I spent 15 years on Drilling rigs all over Texas and punched holes and layed down and tripped more pipe than most will ever even think about. Don't need to get on a wash over to know I don't care to see another drilling rig as long as I live. Lost my dad to one in 68.
James skippinhopper he’s not helping his hands out out any as well. Hell hes stopping the tool joint about head level every time. Almost anybody can run a string in HI/HI with no weight on it 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ I’m just here to wait on the part when he runs into the first Monel
James skippinhopper True that and to this day worm is still the go to word...but if your called a plug these days that’s worse than shittin dirt from your mouth lol. Much respect to my older old school brothers....I learned from y’all and many other life lessons that kept me on the straight and narrow 🤙🏾
Sounds of the good old days... Nice work. Same here, this paid for my schooling. Thanks
Thanks! People like you keep our country strong.
I love to see the “slips” ride. Driller really taking care if his hands. 👍👍!
I can't figure out why we are wearing out so many slip dyes????
@Mike Vega Just pull the slips lazy hand, stop complaining!

Aahhhh yes the struggles of Worm's corner. Cool video thanks for sharing. It brings it all back.
Rock on hand something to be proud of!!! Best wishes
awesome for you man.. Thanks for the hard work.. Thats coming from a safety man.
Thanks!
some time, working hard is good but if some flays into the Driller side floor man EYES !! then your hard work worth nothing , Be safe out there
thanks for all of your dedication and hard work!
Nice I might apply for neighbors. I Used to work for Legacy in Williston ND. It is quite the life.
Brake handle triple; love it!

I miss this so much
Brings back memories ,I'm talking the 80s,LIFE
Yep, well I did it hard on the offshore self-propelled rig Glomar III in the mid sixties and wouldn't have had it any other way...Yeeehaaa.

2009 stacked out in 2012
I worked on that rig for 3 years, we dropped the blocks cause the Dyno failed on us.that was a damn dream rig.thing was so well set up,we could move it 4-5 days
267 was doing a lot of them wildcat wells back then,it's a sister to this rig.
I worked on this rig in 2010-middle of 2012. When I showed up, we were makin hole by arnigard or something. Man camp was at Johnson's corner.

Gettin' er done!
Not just trippin,' but laying down. Takes longer, makin' it happen though!
Tripping pipe? This is laying down pipe. Love it. It will make a 12 hour shift go by fast. Pretty cool driller the let the slips ride. Lol
I was about to say, they didn't grab the slips almost at all 🤣🤣🤣
I was going to comment on the letting the slips ride and laying down pipe. Not tripping. You beat me to it lol. I loved the oil field
These guys have the unfortunate situation of using the worlds heaviest tongs lol sorry boys
I hope the guy running the hydraulic cat walk works his way in and trades off
iLL BET IT MADE YOU A MORE WELL ROUNDED PERSON IN EVERY THING THAT YOU DO. AND YOU WERE SMART ENOUGH TO NOT MAKE A CAREER OUT OF IT NICE JOB!!!

theroman21 looking for any veterans?
Laying down drill pipe ??? running plugs ????
Wow don't even have to latch the elevators anymore
Coming out of the hole sideways driller doesnt need to wonder where the roughnecks are hiding
That's the old way! Now ST-80 is used! Makes up breaks up , & ttorques pipe! I worked 25 years on drilling rigs
When I worked o this rig it had an st80 then switched to a tm80. Motor man would stand by the driller and push buttons on a touch screen.....What a joke that thing was.
Hated lay n down pipe f n with reachers and laydown line, collars really suck on ol school rig
Does it pay well?
Headman no delay come back with it.
Let the slips ride
MAKE EM BITE !!!!!! Geeeeeeze
Why are they making it look so hard 😂

I spent a few years on this rig
It was a good rig!
Pull Em.. boys!
Need a fresh supply of cable chackels and cable slip's and cash money orders for operations.
i need job in this company, am floorman
Laying down pipe is long process.. specially on deep well
What do you do if last drill pipe falls down the well hole
You start looking for another job! hahahah If that did happen and you did not get run off then we would probably trip back in the hole and try and screw into the pipe. if that didn't work we would come out and install an overshot tool and use that to extract it.
Looks like laying down pipe!
How was working for Nabors?
Josh Shipps not bad. I enjoyed it.
I just got called yesterday do y'all still run these rigs miss throwing tongs
That boy running dummy side needs to put out
young wormy driller
James skippinhopper what’s a worm?
@@orlvndo a greenhorn
Serial study but very dangerous
Worms corner needs help his buddy , not bend him over! Might as well send him to the dog house , ain't doing squat anyway!
What year was this
around 2009 I think. Cant remember exactly.
What rig is this?
Nabors 266
Really? that info is in the title of the video
Where is this rig at?
Make er bite wormy then push and let the rotary pull out yer cable before you unlatch. Why you laying down your stands? No free lunches on one of those.
Holy fuck, 266 stacked her in 15 when they got rid of us real hands to pick up those new "b" rigs, call it junk, got battle E 6 months before she went in the grass
Worked this rig for 3 years ,watched them stack it shortly after Brigham exploration got bought out.lotta good memories on this iron.
@@MontanaDirtRoads what year?

40 hours? Try 84-100
Mitchell butler you already sound like a pussy and you wouldn't make it. And there's no such thing as a 40hr work week in the oilfield
Don’t even tell him... just let him find out😂😂
I'm am 43 years old, can I work as roughneck. I had 4 years experience in oil field
Hi.i chat with you my whatsup no.8698460792.about oil drilling rig
Yeah. We had a roughneck that was in his 50’s. Hell, I was roughnecking at 39. Better hit that iron or it’ll hit you, especially on rig move. Be in shape.
slip riding the pipe is very bad idea...
Why? Of course,not in an open well but if you are already in casing(intermediate string) let em ride.
Yes I agree, with drill mud and copper-coat all over the floor...one slip and you're a cripple for life
Don’t like how they think they are filling the pipe. Most important part tripping operation and you’re going to get caught doing that stupid shit
نيبورس أحسن شريكه لحفر الآبار اشتغلت فيها
Who is the guy sitting on his ass throwing thread protectors
Derrikhand
first of all you all are laying pipe not tripping it
I caught that right off.
Coming out sideways
You gotta trip out of the hole to lay Down 👌🙄

Thats not tripping, its laying down drill pipe.
Get on a wash over and you will find out all about tripping and laying down . your ass will be hired out.
