me Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 yup northern Alberta is where Im at. But I plan on going to work in Texas or Oklahoma There is alot of work here Oklahoma. And we need hands badly, everyone we get flakes out in a day or so, its been months and about 30 hands since we have had one stay. People today are a bunch of pussys when it comes to work. There is alot of drilling/workover work going on in Colorado to, and that is a hell of alot prettyer country than here or texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I live in Oklahoma. In the city though, never get to see any of that stuff. Have you ever witnessed any explosions yet? And what do you actually do? I live in OKC, im almost never here but i have a house there. never seen a explosion, couple little fires, few broke/severed fingers, broken legs, and there was one guy who got killed on a rig i was working derrics on in texas. Hey Dog, you guys pretty shallow? Looks like your on a 300 cooper with a 100ton pemco derric on 4 lines? you guys just drill or do they make you use that rod basket sometime? All the H2S in this part of the world is 15,000+ft deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earmuffs Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 the well we are on right now is 2 zones and were on the top one.. thing has been a nightmare..

me Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 sounds better than the one im on, its the one in the pics above. basically they got a crappy cement job on there casing and it parted around 24,000 and we were trying to squease it but the couldnt pump into it. think we had something like 12,000 psi at surface. We have 15k stack and we went to 17500 on it and the couldnt even get a barrel a minute to pump into it. then the casing calasped around the tubing and we are now stuck in the hole. that was almost a week ago and that is still where we are at. The really shitty part is even after we cut off or get unstuck we have to lay everything down to trip, our 112ft derric is too short with the snub stack on it..... i really hate this one.

WHo do you work for? Yeah -50 would really suck. We are on like 20 or so days in a row of 100+ which sucks just as bad if you ask me. I work for a work over company right now, been at this one about 4ish years, worked at a couple different drill and workover co. before this. Set days off is nice, been awhile since ive had a whole day off. We have been out for Chesapeak most of this year and i think ive averaged around 90-100 hours a week. theyll work the fuck out of you. I keep getting calls from a guy i know at Cudd. They want me to come work on a snubbing unit, starting off is something like 19 an hr, + perdium, +job bonus, +safty bonus which is like 2-6 an hr if i understood them right. and they work almost as many hours as i do, so you make good money.

me Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I dont like snubbing, we have to ram-to-ram all 24,000ft of this well, to much pressure for a bag, shits slow as fuck. Ive seen to much crazy shit in person and in pics to want to go work on a snubbing unit. My 2nd day ever working on a rig we had 30ish joints blow out on us, happens in a split secound, broke a guys leg saw the bone sticking out of it. Ever see pics of the blowout they had in Louisiana a year or so ago? killed like 9 people and burned for couploe weeks all cause the snubbers fucked up.
