Offshore Roustabout

This video illustrate Roustabout running tubing and laying out drill pipe.
Roustabouts generally work for drilling contractor companies. The roustabouts on Jack Up rigs are in demand to clean tools, equipment, including drills and pumps and machinery and keep work areas clean and orderly. They use crane lifts, forklift and winches to clear the deck and to load, unload and stack equipment and materials
Other duties include moving supplies from town and equipment to the worksite and assembling, repairing and dismantling equipment and machinery, including pipes, casing, mixing mud with Pumpman, assist deck pusher and crane operator. Roustabouts must be strong, physically fit and outdoorsy to work in all weather conditions.
Other tasks included in a roustabout job description include working with crane and forklift operators. Roustabouts guide the crane operators and attach lifting slings to the loads. They also mix drilling mud, which is used to lubricate the drill bit that bores into the ground. Roustabouts who work on offshore oil rigs also must maintain the rig by cleaning, chipping and painting the deck, equipment and work areas.
When asked, roustabouts assist other crew members in drill operations. They normally assist in running Casing and make up drill pipe by sending the casing and drill pipes to drill floor. They also conduct inspections on firefighting equipment & Life Saving Appliances. They repair leaks in the accommodation and repairing pipes, and they clean up spilled oil to avoid soil and water contamination. Roustabouts also dig drainage ditches around wells and storage tanks to keep oil from flowing freely during a major spill.
They are the fire fighter on the rig for any emergency and assist on-scene commander to fight the fire. Off duty roustabout will assist the Fire Team No.2 team leader. They may be promoted to Roughneck, Deck Pusher or Crane Operator in the future.
