BTW, the biggest sin that can be committed on a rig, is the lose of the key to the v-door. I spent about 30 minutes looking for that damn thing under the sub-structure with mud, water and oil raining down on me until the tool pusher, Mike Stone, helped me out. I unlocked the v-door and drilling proceeded. Glad y'all have yours!

I worked Derrick for over 25 years because I liked the solitude that the Derrickhand has on a Service Rig. You look after your Pump & Tank and the Pipe usually on your own. Not so many idiot Oil company reps to deal with as a Derrickhand.

[@sak1237]

I hear that. Loved being up the stick in my youth. If you had a good driller and crew it was a blast. Didn't care as much for pulling rods but tripping pipe was a trip...

[@birtday6326]

Yup. Derrick best position on the right rig. As long as mud is good and pump running, nobody says shit to you. I worked as a derrick hand for 7 yrs before go being a driller. Loved every minute of it. But then, that was back in the day when shit was still pretty 'western'. LOL

[@bobpugliese4428]

how come only one set of tongs we used two until we got some weight anf kicked the dog in are u kicking the slips I like to see a video of the tail on the chain letting go I remember tighting the bop with a 16 pound sledge in 2ft of mud for 4 hours we used to prey for a slow welder to attatch the flange worst feeling your relief dosent show and workin that double my first day they had me carry a 48 pipe wrench to tighten the water tower bolts at the top no safety belt I was pissed to learn there no such thing getting broke in was an adventure how about waking the tool pusher up for the key to the v door he was a nasty sob thanks guys I showed my kids because I could never explain it they thought I was bullshitting them

[@marcushoward1726]

Any tips for beginner Derrickhands? I got it down coming out of the hole but I can't seem to get it right going in the hole. Any recommendations on how far to adjust your lanyard ect?

[@marcushoward1726]

Also we only trip PH6

[@LaCadena516]

You want to be able to hang out past the end of the board. If your lanyard is too short you will always have a hard time reaching out to the elevators. Also if all you are tripping is ph-6 you need to hobble the elevators to where they are just almost level. That will make latching them much easier. Other than that it’s all about timing! Hope this helps!

[@VictorLopez-bx4bu]

Shane Patterson hobbling is for pussies

[@LaCadena516]

Victor Lopez I’m guessing you didn’t read his comment about “beginner” Derrick men, but I’m sure you could make a whole trip in with an overgrown set of MYT elevators the first time you ever got on the board and never miss a latch. 👍🏻.

[@reelgoodfishing]

A few questions. How long are the strands as the fisheye lens distorts it a bit? What happens when you’re out of strands in that rack where they’re all laid out there? Do you get more somehow? If so, how are they loaded into that “hopper”? Are you signaling anybody that the strand is properly loaded or does the derrick keep moving and you just have to keep up? What is something roomies fuck up a lot doing this job? And when you push the strand out waiting for the “grip” (maybe?) to come back up, are you resting it against the tackle block it self or are you suspending the wait of that strand leaning as it comes up? I notice you lean it out and then pull it back. Thanks for the cool vid and very interesting work. Be safe if you’re still doing it.

[@evanarnold3663]

As far as the resting against the block, I’m pretty sure he does it to smooth out any sway so it’s easier to slap the grips together. I have no fuckin clue about oil rigs, but that’s the best thing I could come up with

[@DFWFeelingCocky]

The video is on a double, each pipe stand is about 60 feet consisting of two 30 foot sections. On triples, the stand consists of 3 30 foot sections of pipe for a total of about 90 feet Drill bits wear out. What is happening in the video is previously all the pipe has been pulled out of the hole in 60 foot sections (speeds things up). The bit has been replaced and now they are putting all the pipe back into the hole. Once all the pipe is back in the hole, drilling continues. Every additional 30 feet of drilling requires pipe to be added, A single pipe is pulled up from the v-door and added to the top of the drill stem.

[@andrewcorbin4538]

Does anyone ever miss? Every thing is just awesome.

[@RustyorBroken]

I have a question. Why do you hold the pipe with an outstretched arm and then pull it back towards you just before the block gets up there? Just curious.

[@LaCadena516]

Just a habit to keep the block away from the board. If the block is swaying back and forth that will keep it from hitting the board. Of course as long as it’s not out of control! 😂

[@RustyorBroken]

@@LaCadena516 oh, so you're actually using the pipe to guide and stabilize the block on the way up? Interesting. I couldn't pick that out of the video. Thanks for the answer!

[@zoltanrichardbedo8812]

+Gary Douglas being a derrickman is a necessary step on the ladder. skillful and persistent guys become drillers and then rig managers, because oil companies take care of their men and educate them continuosly. however, you are right, and i hope this dude's bosses see that as well.
