Oil Patch

[crazy_wheeler]

Curious to see how many people on this site are involved in 1 way or another with a drilling rig and the process of drilling the hole for either gas or oil.

I've got 10 yrs in now on the glorious iron that helps pay the bills. Have seen a few things that make you stand back and ask .... WTF....

This was north of Fort Assiniboine summer of 2006.

5 Long years for me. Or close to. Im in the compleations after drilling, but it pays the bills and its less stress.

9 years drilling. 8 years in the Specialty wireline business. I don't have any photos right now, It's usually 20 below and night time when we get to see guys like Mike. The patch seems to think our tools only work when it is dark.

Tool push on a service rig here. Been on the "circus rigs" for the last 14 years. Did you guys see the pics from the Lakota incident that happened b4 Xmas? (dropped stand of drill pipe through the foot). I was gonna post the pics but figured I better not.

In the service side of the drilling industry for 11 years, have been able to see much of the world doing it like right now I am in Portugal. Here is a rig I was on in the South China Sea.

Nice pic's guys. I've been in the fickle patch since 76. Been wellsite supervising completions/workovers for 10 years. I'm really getting tired of the ups and downs and looking forward to my sorta retirment dream job working as a greeter at Walmart.

Here is an example of where a mud motor IS NOT suppose to come apart while drilling a horizontal well.

Hey I work in another field of work BUT do enjoy all the work you guys do. My house is heated by Natural Gas and I try to burn as much Gas as I can in my Trucks,sleds and Quads as I can. Hey without you guys suppling my fuel and whatever what would we do. Thanks for the hard work and time away from your loved ones and away from your sledding and quadding times

Arrowhead Drilling "Rig 11" was my first job out of high school. Worked lay down trucks after that then went over sea's to fight oil well fires, then worked in the Hot Tap service for 7 years . Now at a poly ethylene plant, but just started a oil field rental company on the side, 400bbl tanks, rig matting and wireless Rig Phones etc. Thought I was done with the "Rig life" but I got sucked back in. Best industry in the world, my 2 cents.

That is one serious big expensive toy dude. I think you might have a little more into that than I have into my toys.
