I've seen a few rigs in my area with dual speed kits. Most are from Oil Well Service co. in Signal Hill.

@RainJetSprinklers Really?? I have never seen OilWell Service use a Dual-Speed kits. I know they use IDECO rigs, but the ones I've seen are equipped with conventional traveling blocks.

Can you please tell me how them speed kits work. I have been well serciving for 10 yrs and never seen one in action. I have asked around and all they tell me is that they are not safe at all. Some input would really be appreciated!

[cvanway]

We have been using them for over 10 years without any accidents at all. IMO they are safer than conventional block and elevators. They are not popular with service companies because they get the job done too fast. As an oil company we love them for the same reason.

dont let the insurance company see you using a speed kit. we cant afford to be losing fingers nowadays

[cvanway]

Do you use the speed kits?

Yea the standard derricks were an experience to work with to say the least. I feel privileged to have worked on those derricks. I transferred to Brea Cañon oil in the late 70's and lived in a house up in the Brea oil field off Brea Canyon road providing security and watching over the wells. I still work for Brea Cañon oil except I work in Harbor City at their tank farm. My son talks like he wants to go into the patch bless his heart.

I've seen that rig of AllenCo's. I never said that Oil Well Service had the oldest, just some of the oldest. The old ramblers were cool, nice and stripped down. When I started out, I was pulling rods on standard derricks for shell in Brea. I remember when they got their first portable work-over unit, It was a Moreland single. The old draw-works rig used to pull the rodsfor the standard derricks is still on Linn property, rusting.

@RainJetSprinklers WRONG!!!!! ALLENCO has the oldest rigs idecos and hoppers my rig is a 74 rambler with screw jacks all the way around hopper outriggers bash and ross blocks strung on 7/8 line its only got a 3 speed and we stay doubled up except when we pull deep wells

[slax421]

My God I would fall asleep waiting for those blocks! Gimme four lines, sixth gear, and a drunk operator! F#ck, Fight or Trip Pipe!

@cvanway I know they have at least one. I can remember back in the 90's Oil Well service had more than one. Oil Well service has some of the oldest IDECO rigs I can think of.
