First, this is a great Channel! Kind of reminds me of the first rig I broke out on in 1979 (Permian Basin), was a 1948 Frank's Explorer double gin pole (no tubing board), no hydraulics rigged up with drill line & snatchblock. Rig had 2 speed air clutch. We did well abandonments,, we did everything from blowing/parting casing to cementing, a lot of our jobs were up in the Texas panhandle La Mesa, Amarillo, Post Would take forever to get to location if I rember right the rig only did around 30-something mph ha ha Sorry, the only Hydraulics we had was a setup for the spider jacks.

I gotta agree with some of the other comments. When I think of the work that ol girl did, and the history behind what the fellas that built and ran it went through it is kinda a shame to just cut her up, but just like the rig it replaced progress waits for no one, or thing. fun video. I thought it was funny when you said "Across the pasture there, is another lease" I thought of the word pasture, meaning a grassy field, you know cows and such. but you must be in the Permian Basin, that's not a pasture, that's someone's back yard.

Perforated quite a few wells off these service rigs back in 73 rigging for GO International in the San Juan Basin.

Was that built on a old CCC chassis? Seen a lot of stuff around tulsa that looks similar 🤔.

Just an FYI on Crane Carrier - they were sold off to a company in Ohio, operated for a while after the sale then closed and moved everything back there. This was about 5 or 6 years ago. Building is still empty, I believe.

A man named Earl Carroll sold us real to real microfilm on Scott tickets showing drill stem test. I re-entered a Strawn well that recovered 1000' of oil in the upper Strawn. Made 200 bbls per day. They wanted a well that would flow. Went on to the Caddo below the Strawn. Tested to surface 1 million cf per day. They plugged it in 1977. In 1981 I re-entered it. Pace and strange lease between farmer and Marley in young county. It also had a gun sight formation at 900'

Crazy old rig! Like you said not to common one with poles that size. My dad had a Wilson supper with poles that size and length. Double double just like that. He wouldn't let anyone up on the board was to scared of it. It was a monster for poles. Last guy took off the board and shortened it up to just pulling and laying down double rods. I sold it for that guy and sent it to Oklahoma last year. Anyway keep up the good life . 👍

This is just a random question, not related to this video. On a normal pumpjack, is there a backwards and a forwards direction they're supposed to run in? Most of the time I see the counterweights moving away from the Samson pole at the top of their circle. Once in a while I see an example of them running the other way. Geometrically it should not make any difference, but as far industry practice...?

I've had a couple people as me this and it might make a quick easy video. Interestingly theres more to this than meets the eye. Almost all can run ethier way but the industry standard is that the input shaft always turn counter clock wise when viewed from the sheave side and the sheave to be on the right side of the gear box looking from the front. In a rare occasion a piece of Equipment is designed to have an opposite input rotation the sheave is on the other side. This is standard and almost all oilfield equipment including pumps, units, ect. The reason is so it can be driven with a standard rotation gas engine. This causes most units to run reverse of what you describe but the opposite way on single reduction gear boxes like the 100 year old one.
