IDECO Speed System on Workover Rig - Fastest tripping

[@MyJake007]

Old school is latching that shit at balls speed!!! Hell ya!!

[@bluesbrother6305]

Brewster speed kit goes back a little before 1960. Works great to 6 or 7,000 feet can't string up more than 4 lines. Run circles around a conventional string up but just for shallow wells.

[@Mase-sv7cf]

Still wanna do it the old fashioned way, Latching and unlatching on the fly!

[@teedee6788]

Wow like tripping rods but tubing. I do luv the rush like pull back n unlatching tubes.

[@myrecusedogs7040]

Makes it look even faster when one rig is tied back and the other one is tied ahead

[@Bmjr282]

I just noticed that....I’ve seen this video over 100 times

[@LaCadena516]

This is a replica of the Skytop speed kit which has been around since the late 60's, which were alledgedly "outlawed" by insurance companies because they were too "dangerous", I wish i could get my hands on this setup, there is no faster way to trip tubing in a well than this!

[@8686872]

We used Skytop Brewster speed kits until insurance stopped us in late 80's.

[@LuisSanchez-qe1oz]

They get paid by the hour

[@concerned1313]

@@LuisSanchez-qe1oz I concur. When I started in the late 1980s they had just got rid of them because of accidents with them. There is nothing wrong with getting a 30 second rest in-between stands when you are running or pulling 150 to 200 stands.

[@concerned1313]

@@8686872 Oil well servicing has got a lot safer since then and I am glad for that. These kits are malarkey!

No you don't and I am glad you haven't hopefully!

I worked on a Ideco on Barrow Island Western Australia 🇦🇺 1980s -1990s started off a floor coon then worked up the Derrick for few years they had 2 Ideco’s and a Mountain Rig 😛 was a dirty job but I liked it

[@lightningdad13]

I was today years old when I found out.a new name for a floorhand. In 20 years I've never heard hands called that.

[@voganlanway]

I don't think we can call them that in Louisiana @@lightningdad13

[@whoispriest]

i know nothing about rigs, but pretty clear to see who is much faster

[@jlo7770]

On the side by side video on rig is "tied back" the other is "tied ahead" or "double fast". The rig on double fast is the "ideco speed system" and like it's name double fast... both ends of the drill line are attached to the drum so it wraps twice as fast/falls twice as fast... in no world could anyone even the best ever out pace a rig that tied back (has one line run into the drum) vs someone running double fast (2 lines in the drum) don't ask me how it works it just does ive been working on rigs for almost 15 years and I have yet to figure out how double fast works, it just does. A good crew can run 110 stands an hour on a conventional rig, I've seen it done a lot.

[@dennisdial7872]

I worked for SCHLUMBERGER for many years made hundreds of jobs off work over rigs in north Louisiana!!!!! NEVER SEEN THEM PULL PIPE WITH THIS

[@gregbeaulieu7049]

Just an old school real sky top with a double Derrick .. tbg transfer, split blocks .. the old sky tops pulled singles , racked doubles .. pipe over the crown.. looked funny as hell ..

[@MohammedZiou9]

any idea what happened to IDECO, couldn't find any information about the company online

[@cyc25ruffneck]

Its obviously a faster system but I saw a lot of tricks being used to make it look like the speed difference was bigger than it actually is. The rig on the left was halfway out of the hole, the conventional version looked like they were one or two rows off bottom. More pipe in the hole means your pulling slower! The one on the left appeared to be running double fast line, the other one was not. And when it showed them tripping conventionally, they were going WAY slower than any workover rig I've worked on! Put some of the rig runners I've worked for on that rig, and I bet you the speed difference would be alot closer!!

[@demonlittlehorn1949]

Didn't have this when I was working derricks in the 80's

[@perfdog1593]

Looks badass out of all the hands talking trash I'll bet most of them have quit by now

[@jmitchell6192]

That brings back memories, I ran the tongs

[@stressbelden5869]

Speed kits are an addition to a rig..... but...... 1. There can be some insurance issue depending on the underwriting of the insurance company. 2. It doesn't help if you are picking up singles or laying singles down......same speed as conventional rig.

[@RainJetSprinklers]

Awesome video, thanks for posting this. Is International derrick and equipment co even still in business??

[@hankreed1036]

Anyone else notice the derrick hand isn’t tied off to an SRL?

[@sandygirvan9561]

Yuppers.

Damn that slick!

[@boggsanonymous1787]

Takes all the fun out of latching

[@joelezekielbruce1060]

Once a rigger always is did do want to learn what I didn't Know when I was in Guage others wise.

[@TheMrjont]

rig on the right has more pipe out then left one on the left will pull slow till the string gets lighter

[@myronwilliams7896]

Old school iron is all the ways the best

[@garagebandnorteno4749]

why is operator almost in the cab

[@mikelooby8362]

Like 2 snowblowers you'd have a little bigger iron . See if anyone has.few more so they can look around some Measure fuel at least twice a day Ect.

[@Lquiyasm]

Does any one have the manuals fors this IDECO system or maybe the SKYTOP one? Thanks

[@LaCadena516]

I dont see any rods in this video?

[@irving4982]

Read the description it's a workover rig they dont pull rods

[@LaCadena516]

@@irving4982 my bad, the pumping unit, horses head on the ground and rod basket in the derrick threw me off.

[@irving4982]

@@LaCadena516 I know I get you but there are some wells that use to be a pump jack then they switch it to a gas injection well, esp well,or a pcp pump and they leave the pump jack there until they remove it it could take months or they will just leave it there incase they want to switch it back to a pump jack I been to alot of pump Jack's and it's not a pump jack it's a gas injection well.ect And alot of workover rigs have the rod basket its optional to the owner of the rig if he wants to remove the basket.

[@WW5RM]

@@irving4982 since when do workover rigs NOT pull rods?

[@bluechristianson4162]

I worked workovers for 7 years and we pulled rods almost every well... today basket has nothing to do with it being a workover rig

[@deonelawlar8726]

Saw lots of worker rigs in n dak

[@lonnybruce9407]

All was well except the tin can crashing music. Rig noises would have added to the video.

[@jeffmuth6504]

How bout on a six or eight line blocks?

[@8686872]

Work string weight (N-80) and lift is less than 120K then safe and faster to run on 4 lines. We also used 2 men on the floor. Second work back-ups and stabbed the stands. He also was used for laying down singles and doping couplings while RIH. Turned down collars completely negated any speed kit action.

[@RobertCHoweSr]

3 man crew 6 or 4 lines.

[@gregobern6084]

Don't those guys listen to Hank Williams?

[@boser1212]

Why would any service company spend huge money to buy this dangerous equipment for their rig? Get the job done even faster and make less money?

[@kristopherherd2366]

this is fucking bad ass its a tubing pickle

[@deanvigna7519]

Same idea as a rod transfer

[@stressbelden5869]

A speed kit is the same operation as when a workover rig pulls sucker rods. Think about it..... When the derrickman is in the rod basket he has his foot operated air cylinder. He latches on......the block is sent immediately back down to the floor. When going back into the hole.....same operation, just reversed. And when the derrickman is on the tubing board. Well.....to the point. Basically, what I just stated in the above paragraph. A speed kit really is nothing new......no "new" technology.

[@sts428]

Yup, you're right! and definitely not new technology. This system was sold by IDECO in the 70s but it didn't last because people thought it was more dangerous... and service companies get payed by the hour. This speed kit is an old refurbished one.

[@stressbelden5869]

Steven..... You are correct. Well service companies get paid by the hour. What is the incentive? Thanks for the reply.

[@arathaemaxus5250]

Stress Belden staying competitive I suppose.

[@kennycoye3907]

True! Back in the days, the faster rig got more work later down the road! Per job, not an hour! It would be fun though! Poor tongs would get a work out!!

I had friend get knocked out at board with tubing transfer got stuck at collar and slack allowed him to get his ass knocked out ! 30 years ago ! But still remember it! Conventional is safer! Its fast enough! Stand every 45 seconds is fast !!

[@RobertCHoweSr]

Bad driller, the concept works when all are alert. No earbuds, no staring out at the highway. On 6 lines, when the line kicks off the drum wrong, it can close elevator when RIH. Keep rig level and eye open

[@jeremycarmouche7697]

I worked for JP Oil in 2012 and I’ll latch and unlatch my self. Fuck that transfer. And I promise the driller I had back then. We would get in the whole faster than that bullshit. Thumbs down on this video. Rod transfer foot pedal got stuck and kept pulling,broke the safety ring and almost knocked my ass out. I don’t like change.
