Life On The Rig

[@lhow3100]

Enjoyed the video. I worked on a smaller RC rig operation before. We provided all our own meals, and it was tough work. Our pads were carved out of mountains with the rig deck split at 45 degrees, drilling -35 angles. We only drilled 1000 ft (~300 m) on these holes. Weatherford looks like driller's heaven to me.

[@georgesince1986]

This rig life is heaven like as compared to most of the rigs I have been.

[@dalton1824]

Yeah in Australia they are all way smaller and easier to work on. Plus they supply you with awesome food 24/7

[@dalton1824]

and they are super strict on hours. You rarely work over 12

[@johnnybegoode2374]

This is the recruiting video, the actual realities change on site.

It's actually not that much different from the video in Australia. They have it good. If I was single I would gladly stay on hitch a shit ton.

Crew of 4, driller, derrick man , motorman & roughneck. Air con Worldwide caravans with showers & the best food in the canteen. The Toolpusher (rig boss) would line up the 4-6 new guys off the light aircraft & usually put 2 in 5 back on the plane. No question, just skilled character assessment. rarely would a nutjob get through but was' run off' after his first shift.
