- Around here if your afraid to get dirty then your not a roughneck, this oil well was drilled in the year 1890. It still does about a barrel a day.The Drilling rig is a Cyclone 44 built in 1947.

thats how I broke out myself, did that shit for over 30 years and it broke me down, I done that when the drilling rigs stacked out in 85, what I'll tell people is don't get into that pulling machine life if you want a life, I was on the break handle all my time doing it and absolutely hated it but it was what jobs were available in the area I lived in...
LOve the old Cyclone rigs. Thank you for the video. I remember pulling oil wells with my grandfather back in the'50's and 60's !
Love that cla clank cla clank sound!
THose old cyclone Air Spudders were amazing drilling machines !
wow they work so well together!
Bro I worked on the rig in Alberta Canada, theyd all be fired that day , working that slow.... LETS GOOOOO BOI
oh..... the good old days!
I worked on pulling units like that as a young man on my dad's leases in southern Illinois. Our's were tractor mounted. We had about Superior powers 20 to 30 HP running 10 to 30 wells each. All of that is gone now. Sure was hard work. No one would do that anymore. Thanks for sharing.
I still have a nice early 35 superior
Still doing this today. I'm curious about the cone used on the pipe to divert the spray from the tubing and where I can get one. We take many baths in crude and salt water from the pressure.
Don't need to be nasty, that's a good idea.
I have a few superiors
Randy Dietterich we make them. This one is tin with a screen door spring
crazy slow! i worked on a double/triple and had the luxury of power tongs and air slips....... this is crazy!
When I broke out it was pipe wrenches all the way man and cheater pipes no power tongs
Makes you appreciate it, don't it
Damn guys I spent 48 yrs in the patch an we did it that way ln 1973 through 86 Damn get with the program
thats how i broke out ,we were about 5 times faster per joint . lots of fun and dirty days
power tongs and all
These were 100 year old 11 1/2 V thread. And it pays by the hour.
my ass the good ole days I had to do that with 2 7/8 tubing while testing coming out because our tongs broke n hungover lol worst day of my life oh n chaintongs broke to
Honest, but makes for one he'll of a long day!
RE: fast work speed. Every situation where I have seen a work crew hauling ass, I have seen accidents happen and people hurt usually seriously. No one ever wants to admit they are fatigued and thats when shit happens. Working at breakneck speeds is downright stupid and leads to accidents. Sure its great to have bragging rights in the bar after work but ask the guy with the broken back who had a length of pipe fall and hit him because one of the guys couldn't keep up due to how tired he had gotten. Try telling that to his wife & kids now that he can't work anymore and the kids are hungry.
I agree man Safety First I've worked with all sorts of people but I hear you
its a private company they dont give a shit
THATS THE SLOWEST HANDS I EVER SEEN
Joe Forns , they didn't know it was a race!
Must be the last...and first well! Cause they got ran off!!. Lol. Must be Union!
Is that Pvt. Pile before he joined the Marines?
Those guys are pussy’s. I did that shit all by myself 100 years ago with a Pall Mall red hangin outta my mouth. It was always 125 degrees outside and I didnt have anything to drink. I didnt have a pipe wrench so I unscrewed the pipe with my bare hands. I coulda worked circles around those guys!
Lol. U need a job in N.D. ?? Your hired! 😆
Wow the way I broke out pipe wrenches all the way
Where is that at? We run similar old 1800's wells in Southern Ontario, Canada.
Wood County, Ohio USA
No bops, let er buck all over the place, hope you don't have sanded tubing and gas pockets in between. Or take a kick lol
what no salt water trucks around ??/
what no crummys
I'd spring for a 24" chain tongs
AND get a safety flipper for the hook
to keep the bales from jumping out
Why is the pipe coming wet like that?
It is wet because the well does not have a insert pump you have a valve and cups on the bottom of the rods and at the bottom of the tubing is a barrel with the other valve for the pump in it so since the valve is still at the bottom you still have fluid in the tubing
looks like that rig is from 1938... be interesting to work on that's for sure
stanley kendziorski 1947
Question? What's the purpose of pulling the pipe out?
Now What
Doing maintenance on the well.
Rod wear inside tubing. Might have a split.
Could be the well sucked the fluid out of their test jug indicating a hole in the tubing
Well since they are pulling wet my guess is parted rods, the tubing obviously not open ended or the oil is high on the backside but that doesn't make any sense if the well only produces a barrel a day
Only in America do speed tongs consist of a hammer and a 24 inch pipewrench!
Was this video shot in 1945? Remarkable quality.
2008
ok, it's an historic well, I get that, But you don't HAVE to use the most primitive tools from the local museum
.
Bn single drumin double drumin pole an derrik im at a loss
wow i worked bullshit rigs! this got to be the sloooowwest!!!
That tubing ain't tight at all
I've seen slow but this slooooow
Me
my Grandma was faster than that but she was a hundred and three
What kind of peterpan bullshit is this aint no real workover rig
