      Ziggy Stardust EU-HR as long as safe? Really why can’t you be competent enough to be safe and efficient? When they stack a rig and lay off do u think the fact u haven’t been hurt will save you????? NO IT WILL NOT, if u r not efficient AND safe, if that driller has to tell u when and where your fucking tongs go then I highly doubt u guys are useful elsewhere on the rig. Sorry but it’s true and ur feelings and feeding ur family don’t matter when it comes keeping your job, it’s on you to show how much u want it.

      LOL. You are right, but it just doesn't work that way in those environments. Those guys didn't have to sit down and take Business Management, where they teach learning techniques and personality types.
      And can't have a bunch of softies working out there, they have to be tough or they'll get hurt… or dead. So the guys are almost always "type A" personalities (I think "A" stands for "aggressive" or "asshole" ) where the training is 45% instruction, 5% encouragement and 50% teasing, insults and other berating comments.
      From my experience, this environment seemed pretty mild.

      This is partially my own fault for holding the pipe wrong while we were going back in the hole(I was new), but we had a new driller who didn't like me and he jerked the handle and I got my hand caught between the swinging pipe and the tongs. Clearly he hadn't gone up high enough either. We were coming up on our safety bonus though, so I kept my mouth shut.

      First day on the floor can be no doubt but once the adrenaline takes over you get into a good rhythm and are able to pick up a great deal. The other floor hand wants you to do well and is there to really save your ass if need be. He helps to show you the ropes and it makes his life easier as a result. My first time was a night shift and we tripped pipe all night long. The floor hand I had to fill in for did not show up for work and as a result I got a "promotion".

Awareness will always trump exhaustion....and eat more than you want to every day. It takes a person with 2 eyes 2 ears 2 hands and a working brain after that its just going through the motions and building a knowledge base. Everything has an "easier way" and once you learn that you do not get tired or exhausted.

    We all started somewhere. The driller really should have communicated with his floodhands better, but this is how things used to be and thats why people would get hurt more often. No need to pull on that chain when your stud roughneck has his body in the way of the chain.
    The size difference is a pain between the two guys, otherwise the connection could be made higher, and having the stud guy much larger sucks because he has to break on the bottom side of the string. The big guy needs some more training/ mentorship hope he made it through okay because he cant even lift the slips properly, let alone stab or be aware of his body positioning. Glad I had some good mentors who took the time to teach me back then.

The Drillers name is Cliff and he was a dam good communicator, we told Cookie Monster to stay out of bad positions and to stay off of his knees many times, he was a pain in the ass that screwed up all rhythm and roll on the Floor, do you know the difference between Rig-Smart and Rig-Wise?....lazy experienced hands are Rig-Wise and they know when and where the really hard work is and they try to avoid it, dont mistake Cookie Monster for a Green Hand. The suckhole taking the video was supposed to be on that Floor in Cookie Monsters position, so Cookie Monster was whiny and did not want to put out.I was just sent out to this Rig to fill in short term thank god.

    Довожу до вашего сведения, что в буровой бригаде Щ. А. А. при спуске КНБК на бурение на глубине 1770м невозможно было вызвать циркуляцию, запуск бурового насоса.
    Причина в обрыве шланга пневмолинии (заявка на шланги подаётся регулярно, но не исполняется). Далее, из-за резкого выброса сжатого воздуха под большим давлением, повредило энергоблок(ПГМ), пропало электричество. Далее при аварийном запуске ДЭС-300 взорвался аккумулятор.
    Предпринята последняя надежда - запуск ДЭС-100, но и тут произошёл казус, не нашли ключ от ДЭС-100. Механик Б. А. побежал за ломом, чтобы взломать входную дверь ДЭС-100, и, когда бежал обратно с ломом, запнулся об заземление, упал лицом в ведро с резьбовой многокомпонентной смазкой РУСМА-2. Лом, выскочив из рук механика, пробил кабель КРБК, питающий ЭЦН. В итоге отключилась КТПН-6/04кВ, скважины заказчика встали, и все закричали "ВСЁ ПРОПАЛО".
    Приехал электрик ТЛП "Покачевнефтегаз", механик Б.А. начал объяснять электрику, что произошло, но в ходе беседы началась словесная перепалка, электрик обозвал Б.А. "БОРОДАТЫМ УШЛЁПКОМ". Завязалась драка, и, поскольку механик Б.А. занимался рукопашным боем, он легко сломал нос и пальцы электрику.
    Далее приехала полиция, начали одевать наручники на Б.А., но сковать его не удалось, так как сотрудники полиции были жестоко избиты механиком Б.А.
    Со словами "ЁБАНЫЕ ПНЕВМОШЛАНГИ" Б.А. начал крушить сооружения мобильной буровой установкой АЕ-520RU, но остановить его никто не решался.
    Считаю, что инцидент произошёл по вине отдела снабжения, не закупающего в нужном кол-ве пневмошланги и базы производственного обслуживания.

      Most tall guys suck on a Rig Floor and you have to get them up the Stick and the hell away from the real action before they get themselves or someone else hurt, gangly guys are klutzes. Big tall fat guys are lazy in the mind and do not easily learn technique because they can belly-push everything around but this is bad because they have zero stamina in the long haul and always peter out on you when the going gets toughest. Vertically Challenged my ass, if you said that near me in my Prime you would have found yourself vertically challenged and asleep on the ground at the end of the Catwalk.

      ol Boy is actually Cookie Monster and that connection was disjointed mostly because of him. As usual. Someone was new to the Rig and saw the cluster#ck developing. Cliff had to yell at Cookie Monster to put his tongs on first lol lol lol but the guy on the other side was the brand new guy to the Rig (First Shift first time on the Floor), the Motorhand who jumps in later was an ok hand and at least he knew how to use his Tongs to bad he didnt know how to hang them when they Rigged Up.That Rig was a pain in the ass in Winter.There were some real losers on that Rig and you can hear one suckholing to Cliff.

    Can someone explain to me why this is considered bad? From watching I take it from their speed and the few (what seems to be) slip ups occurred.

I have pulled out more Halliburton hands from ditches and stupid predicamets than any other Oil Field Drivers in the mid west..Colo.- Mont.- N Dak.- S. Dak. Okl.- Utah...Roughnecks drill up to 3 miles deep with a simple CAT motor and Man Power. Frackers come in set connections, blast away with some awsome equipment, I must say, or send charges down the hole. Then you leave us with a mess of gell and sand and a total sess pool to wade through and haul off your tanks and food wrappers. Gotta show you lads how to chain up. Worms in my book.
