@RainJetSprinklers Really?? I have never seen OilWell Service use a Dual-Speed kits. I know they use IDECO rigs, but the ones I've seen are equipped with conventional traveling blocks.
@cvanway I know they have at least one. I can remember back in the 90's Oil Well service had more than one. Oil Well service has some of the oldest IDECO rigs I can think of.
@RainJetSprinklers WRONG!!!!! ALLENCO has the oldest rigs idecos and hoppers my rig is a 74 rambler with screw jacks all the way around hopper outriggers bash and ross blocks strung on 7/8 line its only got a 3 speed and we stay doubled up except when we pull deep wells
I've seen that rig of AllenCo's. I never said that Oil Well Service had the oldest, just some of the oldest. The old ramblers were cool, nice and stripped down. When I started out, I was pulling rods on standard derricks for shell in Brea. I remember when they got their first portable work-over unit, It was a Moreland single. The old draw-works rig used to pull the rodsfor the standard derricks is still on Linn property, rusting.
@davknz ive worked alot out in brea not on the standard derricks (the where way before my time) but out there when it was torch, i used to work for mmi, you still work in the patch? who you work for? and btw i was wrong greka has a old ass 54 jack knife hopper in yorba linda area
Yea the standard derricks were an experience to work with to say the least. I feel privileged to have worked on those derricks. I transferred to Brea Cañon oil in the late 70's and lived in a house up in the Brea oil field off Brea Canyon road providing security and watching over the wells. I still work for Brea Cañon oil except I work in Harbor City at their tank farm. My son talks like he wants to go into the patch bless his heart.
Can you please tell me how them speed kits work. I have been well serciving for 10 yrs and never seen one in action. I have asked around and all they tell me is that they are not safe at all. Some input would really be appreciated!
We have been using them for over 10 years without any accidents at all. IMO they are safer than conventional block and elevators. They are not popular with service companies because they get the job done too fast. As an oil company we love them for the same reason.
Well it's good to know atleast someone is keepin' 'em around. I know none of the larger companies run split blocks anymore, and I haven't seen a set in person in probably 10 years or so. Those were always the easiest to latch pipe on, didn't have to worry about the blocks knockin' a tall stand back at ya. What's the name of the company ya work for?

that is no different than how a slant rig opperates with slit blocks and a transfer.same concept as pulling rods.
