Raising The Derrick On An Oil Rig

[thescotify]

boner/////

lol

[EngineerOverlord]

This is box-on-box 990k draw works operated land rig. The draw works work like a pulley system that the rigging cables are fed through, resting on forged sheaves; and ran through a huge spool motor(can vary in size) and can be electric or hydraulic;and is usually powered by a separate SCR house(festoon system). These are the kind of rigs I design, of course mine are better :p

[clownofthecrown]

Wow! Could that have been any slower?

[mryjn420090]

Chuck Norris can do it by himself with no machine

[TexasHolePoker]

Tell Drill to get that thing in the air next time. Seriously though, this is done with hydraulics. Has to be to go that slow. Smooth but dangerous imo. Roughneck Up.

[TheUberGopher]

@TexasHolePoker

Looks like it's a jacknife pulled up with the draw works and bridle lines.

You can see the blocks hanging down at the start.

Hydraulic derricks usually lay down over the draw works side.

[akkwilly]

@TexasHolePoker are you retarded? its a jackknife rig, derrick is pulled up with the draw works. Do you see any hydraulic rams on the derrick anywhere?

[chickraise]

LOL, Jordo, wtf is the diff between an oil rig and a drill rig? I work oil rigs and am smart enough to know they are the same damned thing. I am embarrassed for you.

[NickelbackPWNS]

@chickraise lol obv you work at crack-fuckin-donalds

an oil rig is a pulling unit.

a drillING rig is the one that drills the hole, learn your shit son.

[970cracker]

wow that took a long time

[uwine81]

About how long does it actually take to rig up the derrick only?

[blueparrots5]

it can take less than a minute to raise that thing up if everything goes right

[royce73119]

I thought it was a cactus rig...Cactus are the only ones around here sticking that color up. They make it seem like they get this done in 7 min...HAHAHAHA. Half the time Theres no tool pusher truck pusher or anything, just a contracted trucking company lining up to to pile all that on a tiny location. Then you have the Co. bringing the Co. Man trailer squeezing in trying to get their shit together, everyones cussing each other out on the C.B and shit...not fun under the Texas panhandle sun.

``I used to build these oil rigs in houston.``

[XeXc]

what company was this it looks like GRAY WOLF.

[redneckgirl243]

my daddy works on a rig

[BOHUNTER]

Do they set anchors on the Drill Rigs too? I know workover rigs do unless they tie off to the beam.....

Does anyone here set Safety Anchors? I know its a lame job but we keep yall safe too remember!! LOL

Bohunter

[TOYDOLLSKID]

nah no anchors. they stake the well . drill rig moves in. drills the hole. sets casing. gets out. then they come in and set anchors. then ur workover rig comes in and does what it needs.

[jimP71]

very cool

[FroggyVector]

Is that a trinidad?

[roughneckwife29]

never seen it done, thats pretty cool. is your doghouse green?

[sth73444]

its really spooky when ever you see them drop the derrick

[jeremy8453]

hats off to drilling line! cant wait to raise one!

[jeremysherman82]

I used to build these oil rigs in houston. We'd stand one up every month. Took like 6 moths to build from scratch, the whole assembly. Derrick, drill floor, shaker tanks, ect. We'd build it all.

[klaudiaNR1usa]

nice, i have seen this real life which is pretty cool, my husband is a safety coordinator on an M rig....pretty coool

[jon3m2007]

how exciting- not!

[butonlyifitscool]

cool video! my boyfriend works out on a rig in BC. He's shown me pictures of Derrick's being raised but I've never seen a video! He's in love with his job and I think it's pretty cool too =)

[go4snoe]

i think you should have trippled the speed, but kept the same song.

[ptsd1956]

Excellent video, having raised many a derrick it still gets the hairs on the back of the neck, if the oilfield is in you, its in you.......................

Oilfield Trash and PROUD

[draeven57]

Sometimes I am stupid and miss being a roughneck... then I get back to my senses... lol.. nah, it was great!

[TatterNuts]

if you are looking for a job on a rig just walk into pretty much any drilling company's office and ask them if they are hiring the usually take anyone

[TheCrazyWolf]

Only retarded Company men take anyone =/

[chevyguy06]

[chevyguy06]

[blowingsand]

been in the patch for 7 years, ive doe snubbing, coiled tubing, frac, im doing cement now, never been on a drilling rig, i would like the experience though

[sp2fraggle]

lol, truckers are fine long as your not standing behind them. And lets face it, anyone who stays a swamper is just a guy who couldn't cut it as a roughneck

[roughneck1]

Hey this is Jerry and I am also jpwipf here on YouTube.. I just posted a response to this video where I took the original and sped it up. It is a lot better than this 7 minute one.. Enjoy..Peace..

[sp2fraggle]

Rig move is cool, but you should have speed it up and taped the truckers and swampers tearing stuff up like they always do. Put it all together

[randysinang]

A very long, boring video...should have edited some texts for information on raising a derrick. It must have been fun if the high-tensioned cables break and the derrick collapsed in the end. He he. Those two lines in the sky are reflections of 2 fluorescent lamps. This was shoot on a glass window. Very boring like a surveillance camera.

[copenhagencrusher]

rig pigs!!! wooh!!!

[atvquads]

Yaa a month of that was good enough for me too !!!

[makeahand]

cuz you cant roughneck

[atvquads]

No, I was 4,500 kms away from my family. and when i left the toolpush begged me to stay, but my family more important then big money.

[levi79]

Definatly one job I really dont miss,fun for te expierence but that was about it.

[TiqueRN]

Kinda boring and long

[Tphai]
