  • Crowned out

    

  • How Derrick hands have/do ride the elevator/Kelly up? Don't lie!!

  • Not sure what happened not gonna talk shit and place blame when I wasn't there and don't fuckin know I am oil field trash and a million things can go wrong on a rig but my thoughts are with the families if anybody that was on that rig got hurt or killed..

  • I wouldn't call him the luckiest derrick man alive. He is lucky to be alive, but the luckiest derrick man alive is the one that has never had problem or been in a bad situation... because I would feel much more lucky to never be in that situation than to narrowly escape with my life.

  • 2 roughnecks died....

  • @MrSnakedta Do you have any other details about the accident? Where it happened? What went wrong?

  • @MrSnakedta Do you have any other details about the accident? Where it happened? What went wrong?

  • i've seen the hoisting clutch stick in the winter and guys run the crown, but it looks warm in this video. usually crown contact is driller error. i do hope no-one was on the floor at the time

  • Crown o matic not adjusted or bypassed and driller not paying attention.seldom do floorhand survive this.

  • @charlietow - What you're calling the "drill string" is actually called drill line. Drill line is whats wrapped around the drum of the draw works, runs over the crown, and then through the blocks. When someone refers to the drill string, they are talking about the actual "string" of drill pipe in the hole... a string of drill pipe.

  • yeah charlietow, its called "crowned out" dumbass driller, probably killed everyone on the floor......

  • son of a b**** that was close.

  • daaaaayyyyyuuuummmm the fricking drill string broke! i wonder if anyone knows the cause

  • Holy crap!!! :o

  • Did it kil anyone on the floor?

  • Crown-o-Matic

  • theres a lever in thew drawworks that will respond as an indicator when hes within so many meters of crowing out. forgot what its called, just started as a leasehand for savanna about a month ago though. Love it.

  • Crown saver??

  • DERRIK WORKER? MAN RUNNING THE WENCH? WTF?!? TAVELING BLOCK? You aint OFT useing that dialect. Next time try derrik hand, driller and blocks. fgn poser

  • driller not paying attention... risking other peoples lives...

  • Hey, can you guys send me up some new underwear.....lol, crazy video

  • holy f&#%n shiz... i think id never go up again

  • floorhands should look up too

    what rig was this?

  • floorhands should look up too

  • holy shit definitely time for a crown saver

  • lol their is! it's called a crown saver and it's setup in the drum! apparently not on that rig!!! *wonders if the floorhands survived that*

  • wow i go back out for another hitch in a few days ima gonna have to pay attention !!!

  • I bet he shit his pants! I know I would have.

  • @MBJB07 No kidding!!!

  • Allways set your crown saver

  • my god that looks fukn crazy. bless you oil rig workers. you some tough son's a bitches! keep up the good work guys

  • so does this mean her bf will be coming home sooner than expected...better pack my things...next time watch what your doing my dick depends on it

  • watching the spools on your drum never fails

  • American rig

  • id say that wormy driller needed a crown-o-matic if he didnt know what the hell he was doin

  • I put this on oilpatchworld site. Good video

  • I put this on oilpatchworld site. Good video

  • So,that driller lost his job on that rig right?

  • Holy fuck....I'd come down and kick the fuck out of that driller man

  • Lucky for the derrick man but what about the floor hands?

  • i seen this video awail back and after it everytime i was in the drerricks i thought about this... dumb ass hands that don't pay att. will get someone killed

  • All of y'all are fucking worms!!

  • We crowned out a couple of months ago on my rig and boy was it a mess. It was because of miss calibration on the amphion system it was set to high past the crown and there it went. shook the location...

  • Fucking asshole driller needs to meet me someday. I would lift that bitch into the crown!

  • how in the hell did he survive!!??

  • i was thinking... well whatever the near miss is i certainly didn't pick up on it and then finallly... damn! that was hard to miss...the whole thing plummets!!! i am too darn impatient

  • daaaaammn! i hope the guys on the floor made it out of there in time!

  • either way, only an idiot crowns the blocks, i mean come on, pay attention

  • Hey chaps , the fucking driller ran the block into the crown , he had the kelly on still and thought he was pulling a stand looking for the tooljoint , any of you dumb arse yanky drillers heard of a crownomatic !!.

  • @DumbassGalleyBoy Haha calls yanks dumbarses, but hes too stupid to tell the diff between a topdrive and a kelly

  • I was just on a ensign rig that two different drillers crashed the bails and elevators into the boards while trippin pipe, within two months of each other! got to be there for one which scared the shit out of me!

  • i guess his really lucky ....because all of the crew below is all dead...^^

  • Definitely sheav failure in the crown cluster...

  • ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS FUKN WORMS

  • i think this was a patterson, or h & p rig...not 100% though

  • Head up the ass on the driller...Must not have had the crown-o-matic hooked up. Lucky they didn't lose the derrick and the sub and have everyone dead.

    I used to paint marks on the drilling lines if it was too foggy to see the crown when we were running rods or when we had a tall BOP stack.

  • Comment removed

  • Uh ya it is a topdrive! If u knew shit bout rigs u don't trip out the hole with the swivel dumbass u need to quit watchin black gold lmfao

  • @TrannenRay WELL YOU HAVE TO PUMP OUT OF TIGHT SPOTS! DO IT ALL THE TIME IN WEST TEXAS

  • fuck yeah he crowned out!! if you frame by frame you clearly see the crown sheaves comin down after the top-drive assembly.... Jesus! Sure hope everyone was ok... besides the derrickman having to change his shorts!!

  • another driller wormed out by not settn c-o-m hope hands made it

  • Stupid ass driller man ..what the fuck did he have is head up the pushers ass when he was going up ...who ever that man was working derrick is a lucking man that he wasnt standing at the end of that diving board ...damn hes luck hope it didnt kill anyone on the floor ...

  • what about the floor hands ???

  • Comment removed

  • and i thought it was scary when my driller crowned out. my guess is it pulled the blocks apart cause i dont see any drilling line but it moves by so fast a very well could be wrong.anyway geranteed that derrickhand had two change his underwear

  • Its called a crown saver dumb kunt fuck

  • Fucking rig hands Ensign for life yall

  • holy shit lol

  • thats why our driller makes us yell.....1-2-3!!

  • the winch runner? you must mean the driller..he come up and hit the crown with the blocks dumbass

  • I hope he bought himself a lottery ticket as soon as he could... man was his luck in.

  • I worked on a land rig in the uk when a drller crowned out 3 times in one night running 2 7/8ths drill pipe that horrible endy shit. Pulling out so fast he couldnt see the joints. And guess what, he didnt get sacked because there just wernt enough drillers in the company at the time. Although I have to ask, why the fuck didntthe derrick man or roughnecks shout out!! Always look up!!!

  • The worm driller didn't have crown-O-Matic set propely.

    Lucky if he didn't kill everyone.

  • some real idiots commeting here, the topdrive is a tesco HCI, not a real heavy unit, blocks , swivel and Top-drive will be around 20 tons only - this isn't a big varco...

    the driller crowned it out and down came the cluster.....

    either no crownomatic or posistop etc fitted, of they may have not reset after a slip and cut etc....

    the only thing dumber than this driller is some of the daft comments here from people who know nothing about a land rig???

  • @maxogino These idiots hear about an accident on a drilling rig or BP's latest disaster on CNN and they think they know all about roughnecking. Half of these people who say they know about the patch probably only cleaned the threads on casing...

  • @oOJewishNaziOo your probably right, and i dont know a damn thing about jack! ! !

  • HOLLY FKN SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the crown o matic should be checked an adjusted before starting any new operation

  • @feonor26

    even massive rigs have 25-30 ton travelling block

  • can anyone say crown o matic

  • It's called head up ass driller. Worm's eating up the oil patch!!

  • I work as a Deric worker! Wat happened is the man running the winch on the floor wasn't paying attention and ran the traveling block to high, ran it into the top of the deric and the line broke! All in all I gotta pay attention at all times!

  • @rockkrawler29 I thought there would be some kind of safety system that would prevent the block to run into the crown. But this is anyways an unforgivable accident. The HSE on many rigs around the world is beyond any critics!

  • @feonor26 There is, it's called a Crown-O-Matic. A simple thing (if this rig had one) that trips and shuts down the drawworks

  • @feonor26 its called a crown-o-matic.. its a switch when the drum gets to full of line it shuts it down so you dont crown out.. not sure why they dont have it..

  • @feonor26 Travel limiters are ok.... but they fail to. Some drillers totaly depend on thier limiters and use them as a stop every time, they get slack and dont look up....the firft time the limiter fails, WHAM !!! SNAPP !!!........ LOOKOUT !

    Iv never had a rig with a limiter, and never pulled a hook over the top wheel. Technoligy isnt the answer, alertness is.

  • @Andrewgft Can't quite agree with you there. Technology works when humans fail. You won't be alert all the time. People get dulled, routine sets in and with it comes sloppyness from repetative work.

  • @feonor26 That's exactly right. The travel limiter should be part of a feedback circuit that "enables" the movement in the first place. If the limiter fails, the whole operation comes to a stop.....for just this reason. That concept has worked in aviation for the last 30 or 40 years.

  • @Andrewgft drillers have the option to shut off the saftey

  • @feonor26 we had a crown saver on our rigg but if you were smokin em out of the hole the brakes on the draw works still dont stop the blocks in time havent see one hit the crown this bad tho, Scary shit man

  • @rockkrawler29 first of all its derrick... second of all the man running the winch is the driller and theyre called draw works. guess they didnt set the crown o matic..or something. idiots on that rig.

  • @rockkrawler29

    Not a winch worm, it's a draw works.

    He crowned it out.

    Automatic run-off.

  • @rockkrawler29

    This is a typical Driller-Error.

    He didn't paid attention to how far the block was in the derrick.

    He hit the crown, the crown broke and the block, kelly and crown come down.

    You see the yellow round dishes come down (Part of the crown assembly)

    With something like this.....

    There must have been people on the floor that didn't survive.

  • @rockkrawler29 Not true. If just the line parted then how do you explain why the whole crown came down too. After looking more closely, the last thing to come down IS the crown shivs.

  • @rockkrawler29 Or the line could have crossed track on the spool causing it to snap.

  • @rockkrawler29 - man running the winch-line?!?! its called the draw-works and top drive, ran it into the top of the derrick is called crowning out u tard, derrick worker?! how you get to be a DERRICK MAN is scary considering u don't even know the right terms for ur line of work.

  • @kirstenlaplante He is simply saying that the driller was operating the winch while hoisting. Not paying attention to how high the blocks were, Then he crowned out.

  • It's probably closer to 90 ft, and the block doesn't possibly weigh 40 tons. Maybe the rig was lifting 40 tons of pipe? In any case, a spectacular video.

  • @marzolian this is a top drive..and blocks..

  • @TOYDOLLSKID NO it IS NOT a top drive. You are wrong as fuck!.

  • jajaj que dolor de maso diriamos en argentina.. señores maquinistas dejen de trabajar drogados

  • Thats SO 'kin scary! I got sucked up into the crown on a riding belt and I still get nightmares about it............................­.

  • Jeeeezzuus

  • oh my god!

  • Brown trousers time.

  • SHITERIA for sure!

  • im thinking theres some dead floor hands ouch

  • Lucky sum bitch!!!!God damn boy

  • HOLY FUCK I guess he was lucky. How the hell didnt the crown-o- matic kick the drum out. Oh ya what happened to the floor hands?

  • I have no idea about the details of the accident, I don't even know where this was. If anyone know, please send me a PM.

  • Honestly the more I look at ti I dont think the drill crowened out that hard. I think the drilling line was shot to begin with. Watch the pipe after the blocks clear the screen. Theres no big crash. I have seen a driller crown out a rig many times. Theres always a huge crash and the pipe vibrates and shakes a lot. This driller barely kissed the crown. Furthermore, this rig is on 12 lines. You would have to do some SERIOUS stretching to get the line to a point where it would part.

  • @MrDMachuta the way the blocks went sailin past looked like he hit pretty hard to me and with 12 lines the drum must ve been going pretty good so there wouldn t have been much delay from when he hit to when the line breaks........ you've seen a rig crown out many times?? wow who do you work for i m never takin a job with that comp..... i v never even seen anybody run into the crownsaver unless we were testing it

  • I think the crown was cracked where the sheave pins were held in place. It goes by so fast I cant really tell if the sheaves are coming down too or not but, that would be my guess. He just didn't hit the crown that hard at all. Nor when he hit it was there a "stop" in the blocks and then a continuation of the drilling line still pulling. It happened all at once which leads you to believe some iron in the crown came loose or the drilling line was ready to come apart any minute anyways.

  • My theory is sloppy or lack of maintenance.

  • @feonor26 as per the crown o matic if it wasn't adjusted after the slip and cut then that would have been the failure point. Electronic crown savers typically need to be reset each time a rig powers back up after a move or a black out. I'd caulk it up to something else though your right about it not seeming to collide too hard with the crown but then again I've never seen a rig pull the blocks through the crown in person.

  • @MrDMachuta i agree you can see the sheavs falling

  • @MrDMachuta  thank god im not the only one that knows what the fuck is going on on these rigs man..

  • Don't they have Crownsavers to prevent this from happening?

  • shit man i would kill the fucking driller . wormi ass mother fucker no matter what. thats a persons life for a major fuck up.

  • holy crap!!! what else could you do other than crown it out and split the drill line?

  • He had to of ran it into the crown. Look at the crown sheaves falling down

  • did the driller run the blocks into the crown or what happen

  • I have no idea. I don't know any details around the accident, I just got the video on mail by some collegues. Hopefully some viewers can share some details about this.

  • That scared me!

  • damn! he is lucky lucky lucky!! and yes, hopefully no one on the floor was hurt!!

  • oh shit!
