Service Rig (Grande Prairie, Alberta) 2006

[SnowmanR72]

your not loosing any time locking the slips, what ever it takes to get the job done safely and economically efficient. I would say well done gents

[SuperBoojaa]

A franks is a one piece derrick not a split and who ever posted the comment about locking the slips while swabbing is a retard you land the hanger before you swab

[lomparti]

hey bro do you prefer service rig over drill rig? if so why?

[rookie1234321]

he needs to look up before spinning the pipe in haha thats all your roughneck on the tongs is forgetting

[maddmatt73]

There is a mathematical equation just for this. With a 2 inch cylinder, it will lift 346lbs of weight with 110psi on the air system. Of course ya hafta take into acct fluid in the well, stripper or no stripper, rust, etc. So You should use the 346 as a guideline and trip possibly double that amount with the lock engaged in case of a well full of KCL: Every GOOD roughneck shakes and locks and every GOOD driller, makes him do it. Nuff said. Canadian riggin is the top in the world. I know.

[maddmatt73]

Wow. You guys and your "shakes and locks". What a stupid debate. OF course the roughneck should shake and lock the slips... continued...

[PureOmegaBlack]

un educated people that know how to work dumbass

[D86shanks]

do you keep busy year round on service rigs?

[mdeloli2009]

Motherfuckers canadians !! everybody them needs to come to Brazil to learn how drill. Petrobras is the best .

[Napalmreaper]

I did that crap for 3 years, one as roughneck and two as derrick. Now I work as an electrician. The oilpatch is a shitty place to work full of uneducated drug addicts and asshole rednecks. They seem to always need fresh labourers cuz a lot of them get injured, hooked on drugs or burnt out. The wages don't do a hell of a lot either when you are off for 4 or 5 months straight some years. Fuck it. Not worth it.

[challengerd360]

vincent- worken on rigs isnt for everyone its something you have to enjoy dont get me wrong the moneys why you get in it but i would still rather work on a rig for the same money i would get at a 9-5 job, there is no challange to a 9-5 job and when you work on a rig it is a big part of your life i love getting paid to bull shit with my buddies all day - im not beaten on yea im just saying if thats the way u feel about it the oil fields not for u

[windsofchange345]

@challengerd360 what do you got, like 2 years on a rig?

[JA181818]

@hindu999 fucke esso ya need to do a stop and think just to take a piss bunch of bs

[wrj9221]

It looks like Service Rig hands have it Pretty slack over the Drilling Rig hands!!

[garycalgary]

do you like being sarcastic?

[rigwife04]

My hub works the rigs, and still has time to have a life. He might not have a life like he would workin a 9-5 job, but then he wouldn't be happy in a job he hates... Duno what you're talking about, but I wouldn't change anything about our life. He works hard all day at a job he loves which allows for me to stay home take care of the family and then when he comes home he's able to enjoy his life.

[windsofchange345]

@rigwife04 I bet you get pounded hard by all his buddies when hes out of town, haha

[gamejr84]

[rafrafraf911]

you really should only lock the slips when youre swabbing

[kennyatshop]

the slips arent even on the well when your swabbing, lol.....

[rig1runnin1machine]

hmmm........ every time i've swabbed we had the well unpacked and the slips on, seems like ya'd be better off stayin' at the shop kenny

[kennyatshop]

[CHRISHANN24]

[aime33]

he's using the slip lock cuz we are pipe light, so that the slips dont open.

[mensesjahroom]

I've never used locks, but it makes sense to me, thanks

[mensesjahroom]
