Super Single

DeSoto Rig 10 is a "Super Single." When you trip pipe on this rig, there is no derrick hand, no board, no tongs, and the slips pull themselves.

I have been on JB Hunt rig 1 many many times. I dont believe I ever met you though. When we came to run tools it seemed to always be the other hitch.  I do remember working for Butterbean quite alot before he left for Chesapeake. JB hunt 1, an identical rig to the DeSoto rigs, did indeed run much faster because of the crew and work ethic. I regret never recording JB Hunt 1. Please dont hold that against me!

I work for Desoto in Arkansas. i service this rig weekly. I am new to drilling also. It looks slow, but really isn't. I've seen Rig 1 punch 9000 feet in 6 days. Is that slow? I don't know.

[Partini01]

I think that whether or not it is slow has largely to do with the quality and experience of the roughnecks that take care of it. From what I have seen, J.B. Hunt rig 1 (an identical rig to these DeSoto rigs) out performs them in almost every measurable aspect. It has been awhile since I have been on a DeSoto rig. They may be getting better and faster and safer.

wow 8 day round trip

Does a roughnecks on one of these make as much as on a regular rig?

[Klocrazy26]

Mmm..... And you call yourself riggers?? I don't think so. I don't see anyone gettin any thing done. Boring. Get a job on a real rig goofs.

in wv we call these super slow singles

[pushintongs]

super singles are garbage I worked on one and the trip times were so damn slow it was boring, the hands wouldn't last a hitch on a kelly rig they cried about not having ditch witches for trenches.

i worked for jb hunt rig 1 here in arkansas...i will say we hit two state records and we was alot faster than that lol.you shouldve been recording us because that makes singles look bad.we moved ,drilled,and was set up on a new location in a week....love them bonuses!!and i was the first female roughneck in arkansas....we could put that to shame!

[SnoopDizzile]

Not like the SuperSingle i worked on... tongs & slips thrown by the roughneck. Our rig was really fast, we busted a nut tripping in/out..big tongs and all. Only thing I hated was the small floor, tongs hit the derrick sometimes.

I hope I never have to work on a rig like this...what would I do?

Looks to me like the wormy driller is scared. You need to see how a pro can trip some pipe on ONE of these rigs. Don't be afraid to throttle up for some hydraulic speed. These litle rigs are capable of moving so much quicker.
