That was some slow ass tripping. Maybe it's an offshore thing.

That was also the biggest mud bucket I have ever seen.

@shmoab

Tripping speed in formation must I some cases be carefull because piston effect from bha. Tripping inside csg can be done faster. Tripping fast is not a goal itself.

Oh!! well then i'm surprised that in their perfect world they don't go back in time to investigate this severe breech of "we know everything and you don't"

[365cid]

I am not sure what you mean. I think some iron roughneck's could be run manually from a safe area on drill floor. but not on this rig. Anyway everything is changed today. Regards AK

Does the PSA know your running the iron roughneck manually????.

[365cid]

This is back in 1995, there was no other option than run it manually. AK

I was Roughnecking on The Beatrice Alpha back in 1996 and we were drilling with Kelly and using Tongs and manual slips.

I would of been nice to have a Iron Roughneck and Automatic slips :)
