Roughnecks at Work in HD - Drilling Rig Pipe Connection

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Roughnecks at work smoothly running a kelly drive drilling rig exploring for oil. They're making a connection or "pipe stab" to continue drilling downward. You can see why this job is high risk and requires concentration and skill.

    I did this for awhile in east Texas. I was a floorhand, worst job I've ever had. Working nights usually 15 hours a day two weeks straight. Working with some of the most back country hicks and felons from the deep swamps and rural parts of the south. Sleeping in bunks with all men 6 to a room. Back breaking work. While I was there we did a rig moves which was taking an entire drilling rig apart piece by piece and moving it to another location a mile a way. Drilling rigs are fucking gigantic and there's a ton to move. I would use a sledge hammer and bang open connections for hours on end. The actual tripping pipe and rolling casing was ok. Makes the time go by faster. I've never felt that level of exhaustion, I would get off, shower and pass out within 5 minutes. Make no doubt, i'm talking shit but these guys work hard as fuck and they are some of the most mechanically inclined people on this earth. It's no joke. It started being a rig move per hitch I just came to a point that there are a lot of better ways to earn a living than spending half month at a time in these hell holes. It's a tough living.

    @@cchmlfa Or maybe our society has been brainwashed to be content in serving our capitalist masters without realizing it. Has it ever occured to you that maybe the whole idea of "working hard for hard work's sake because it builds character" is propaganda fed to us from birth by the elite to serve their interests, drilled into us by our schools, our media, our movies? A little too convenient for them, don't you think? To keep us docile and "in our place"? Why SHOULD we have to work hard to survive? Why SHOULD we have to struggle for food, shelter, and medicine? Why SHOULD we have to forfeit our TRUE FREEDOMS -- the freedom to pursue our hobbies, spend time with family and friends, and just live life in peace -- be contingent upon an income that can barely afford us basic necessities? Make no mistake. This isn't to say that hard work isn't admirable. It certainly is, and people like these fine men should be recognized, praised, and, at least in our current system, emulated. But why should things have to stay that way? Why should we have to "work hard" to eat? To give our children proper education? To treat disease? This whole talk of "you have to overcome obstacles to make you a better person" is age-old propaganda intended to make us content in our struggle, to gaslight us and guilt us for questioning the system, to put us down as "lazy" or "entitled" whenever we speak up. Well, I dare say we ARE entitled to food and shelter. We ARE entitled to basic medicine and the highest level of education. It is only humane that we all have these things.

I would ride with them.in the mud trucks as a kid into high school. I would swamp, run the winch line, load and unload 100# sacks of bentonite, 1 bag at time.
