I've operated workover rigs, worked on drilling rigs, and now frac for Halliburton. Its still a good company. They are all good good companies. Frac aint shit. If I had of known ten years ago what I know know, I'd never say I worked on a drilling or workover rig.
I used to spray the plant and equipment for the old Nowsco depot in Leeds, England, UK. It was a challenge to paint those huge nitrogen tankers and pumping equipment, but they looked lovely when they left our paintshop. Nowsco were a great company to do work for and we had a good relationship with all the staff.
@happydavid13 Hello. MANY years ago 1988 to 1994 I used to work at Leeds base for the "land tortoises" as the offshore hooligans called us. Yep you were right, they did look the biz. :-) Best moment ever.. well many, but taking red and white MSV tanker and nitrogen pump unit to RAF Scampton home of the Red Arrows and rigging up in the middle of the runways. Even the RAF guys looked twice! Then watching the jets take off past us.
Well, I'm sure we were painting the Nowsco stuff then.At first I think we sprayed them white and liveried them as BOC NOWSCO, later they were white with two red panels and just the NOWSCO logo. We painted some tri axle 40 footer tankers as well as the ones that were in a frame. We even bought a chassis cab to transport them about on in and out of the paintshop.They looked beautiful when they went out. I remember our contacts at the company were Paul Smith and an engineer called Dougie.
@happydavid13 yep, that would have been Doug Barker. Probably also dealt with Bill Howie and Dave Collingwood. The BOC Nowsco livery was the original partnership. Then it was Nowsco as a solo Canadian based company.
Work on workover rigs and frac crews are the laziest fat fucks, we might has well ran there pumps for them, we did the rest of there jobs for them. And bj is the best company we work with.
Awesome vid, I operate a twin cement pumper for bj in Alberta. It is the most exhausting work a guy can do. Its not really that physical but the fact that you never get a normal sleep schedule wears you down. Stay awake for 36 hrs then sleep 4 then up 18 then sleep 6 then up for 48 then sleep 10. For 16 days. I don't care what you do in between, you'd be messed up too. Hats off to anyone who's been there!!!!
down here in the yukon district, we got a saying, what do lesbians and cementers have in common? neither one does dick, other districts may be different..but we are the best
ya'll be safe out there and take care of one another, God knows nobody else will
That's why Halliburton does most of the work and has the best equipment. I think you guys get our old pumps. We have 100 years in the field. How about you guys?
I love how all the service companies hate each other, even service lines for the same company hate each other. and yet We are all working towards the same overall goal. GET THE OIL OUT OF THE GROUND, and never forget that lol
@paulicus2002 3-4 jobs a week eh..... bahahahahahaha where i work i do that in a given day.... 3-4 a week is a pretty slow effin week. But i can honestly say I do not for a joke of a cement company like SLB.....
Nicely done, I enjoyed that...interesting work, some of the best American riggin I have seen...some of the other stuff on YT made me wonder if anyone knew what a real bed truck looked like
