As someone who has interviewed riggers from 13 countries, even veteran American riggers say Aussies don't mess around and know their trade. Just saying what
has been told to me over the years. Veteran riggers who have worked in many countries don't generally diss other riggers' work. They seem more concerned about their own pride & honour of work in the business.
wow that was slow, i throw slips by myself, and what the ell is he waitin 4 to throw those tongs on the mouse hole, my driller would have jerked the chain allready and be yellng his head off.
hey just wondering how hard is it to get a job in australia i have six years experience and the last three have been drilling and relief pushing, if so who would a guy call
very untrue. it can be dangerous but overall pretty good work. if you got good management and good drillers a rig can be very safe. there are rigs with 3000 operating days without a lost time accident....3000!! thats pretty safe. so fatal daily? not that i've seen. if we were killing people out here we wouldn't be able to attract new workers to the industry.we go above and beyond to ensure our workers safety .ask a roofer how often he wears a safety harness then ask a rigger.
I worked on the rigs in auzzie for years and all the hands were good, then I went to yemen & africa and some good size rigs there, but when I went overseas and ran into the seal bashers & yanks, man were they a bunch of unprofeshional guys and didnt know shit, that is why they ran off all the canadians & yanks and brought all auzzies, because we know our shit. that is the bottom line. Good job in auzzie boys.
y'all can say what u wan't to say.we made 100 connections in 10 hrs. thats ratholing the kelly every connection(on a single). as far as i'm concerned there isn't a hand in the oilpatch who can hold a candle to a single hand. that 100 connection night...i was tripping out of the hole @ shiftchange....and to think i started my 12 tour rigging up.....yup...rigging up.
Just some water well trash here but in my experience doesn't matter how big the tong, as long as you've got counter balance set right, it's fuckin easy. I'm 5'3" and we'd run 6" pipe, tongs weren't to big, or to hard to handle.Trip in or out all day long, and have.
those tongs are FUCKING HUGE!!! you must be ripped buddy!!! i bet you can bench press a million pounds!!! you must be worlds strongest man to throw those HUGE tongs!!!
fuk you little worms talking shit if you came to my rig id wrap a chain tong around your face sledge hammer your knee caps and shove your 2 1/4 heater string up ya ass then push your brittle bloody carcase into the rotary table you pathetic excuss for a roustabouts arsehole!
That brings back memories for me,
Worked Century and EDO late 80's and early 90's.
The names were Barry Dean, Brian Flack, Sean Kelly, Mark Mosely, Janno,
Agro the cleaner, Muzz the cook, geez i can see faces but can not remember the names, good times,

Slow ass Aussies.
Notice they can never chain out of the hole. The make-up tongs are used as the break-out tongs. Interesting.
