I'm from Xinjiang, China. I have the same job as you. It's hard work, but oil workers are real men, staying in the desert for their families. I want to race you, operate the workover rig, see which of us is fast. My English is computer translated hahaha

Thanks for bringing back the memories man! Rod Tongs! Feelin' a little nostalgic today and takin' a trip down the roughneckin' days, mostly in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, mainly in the Mid West. For Triad, Hickman, Parker, Speedway. Been a long time, what I miss is the comradery the some fellas can have within' an awesome crew! And it's obvious y'all fella's know what time it is! Keep 'er online and pumpin' boys and stay safe out there!

I remember 1 inch rods. Lol We has to torque each connection with a snipe. Spun each one by hand and the rods were rusty. What a miserable long day that was. Lol 😂 Nice.video brought back some memories

I'm from Algeria. I was a drilling and oil work-over intern in the fields of Hassi Messaoud (Algerian Sahara). Our devices are huge. The depth of the wells varies between 3400 and 3800 meters. The production casing is 4 inches. Please, the casing you are extracting is of a small diameter, 3/4", correct? The well is not very deep and does not have much pressure at the wellhead ( given the presence of the horse pump).

Just like the Military the Roughnecks should have a brotherhood for all who’s served in the Patch . It’s a dying breed. Especially with this alternative energy.
People don’t understand how dangerous this job is.

Whenever I worked the pickle board I would always bang the pickle on side of derek/mass to let floorhand know I was off the string of rods.

I hated working the rod basket and bonnet.
Had the cable pulled out a few times and crowned out twice.
Operator liked to daydream.

[plezechestnut]

Who’s crew was this? One of our trucks are in the background dropping the BOP, trying to figure if it my dad, grandpa or uncle

[erniew]

nice white ladder i'd use clean gloves to climb then change for working .also i'd do something about that mess on the transfer cable at least tape it together.

So what tasks are they performing here? The first section of the video is obvious, they're dismantling the iron dinosaur. I don't know much of anything about oil/gas rig work, but I find it fascinating.
