Why rotate table if we have a kelly spinner or is the breakout side of mechanism inoperable. Poor hand placement by make up tong hand. Watching this crew wait for fluid to drain from kelly ... now I know why lions eat their young. That guy that worked 40 rough-necking should admit watching theses guys that he has seen females working on a drilling rig. What you think there HOSS?

They are adding lengths of pipe. The piece at their feet spins drilling the bit/pipe down, when they reach the end of a pipe length they have to keep adding lengths. Imagine a rifle cleaning rod going into a barrel piece at a time and you keep adding pieces to go deeper into the barrel. The machinery hanging allows you to spin the threaded pieces opposite to hook new pieces in.

Yep, my father got hurt pretty bad when a chain snapped and impaled his chest. Can't remember the deets. I work currently at a truck stop, see guys who work in the oilfield missing all manner of limbs. One guy got half of his hand and the rest of the fingers torn off from throwing chain. Now he has a stub with two stubs on it. It's rare to see old floor hands, I think most of them work their bodies to dust, I know my father did until he shattered his knees slipping on ice. Not forgetting to mention a majority of them get into tobacco and heavy drinking, easy to imagine why.

The scrawny guy and the chuckling guy who tripped are worms, new guys still getting used to the work. Guy on the left is obviously a hand and training them.. So this is going at worm speed. That's life, you gotta train people up before you can run high speed low drag. In the patch worms are new guys, hands are your experienced men who move fast and smooth without messing up. Mistakes can cost lives or millions of dollars. Even a quick small mistake when you're exhausted and half out of it. I was a wireline/MWD and gyroscopic surveyor for 15 years, then a directional driller for 10. Made my F you money and never went back.

The water spray helps clean the debris from the outer pipe as it come back up, clean pipe is easier to grip and work with. Oily or slick pipe is no problem its debris stuck to the outer casing that jams in equipment. They are drilling down into a oil reserve geologists have located, once there they will have a concrete case and well head set, the drilling rig comes down and moves to another location.
@NXCoyoteF150

shouldn't be debris in the hole. They rinse the pipe of and collars or the BHA in order to clean the drilling fluid or mud off of it and they also may not be drilling for oil it may be a gas well granted there is most likely be some oil but not always. Worked in the oil & gas for 23 yrs.

I worked for 20 years, killed the wells on Piper Alpha - 06/07/1988. Was retired early through PTSD and went from Roustabout to Toolpusher in 5 years obviously before the explosion which killed 167 men through 1 Mans incompetence. I used to write the Drilling reports which involved a 15 min breakdown of 12 hr shift ( I was a roughneck then) . Used my trusted Bick biro to press through 5 pages using carbon paper. The Canadian Driller I had never pressed hard enough or too hard añ rip report. Therefore I learnt how Drill. My pension is £448.16/ month ? I am 70 now with some physical issues due to Rig work. If I got £60 less I could get benefits- rent paid etc. I risked my life for 20 yrs and would be better off if I had never gone to that Tin island 200 mls East Aberdeen in North Sea. There should be a charity for people like me instead of save the donkey etc; crap. I have a clean driving license but no car? On benefits you get a car if you pretend to be disabled. Before I was 60 I paid for bus, Dentist, glasses, and the rest. We used a chain to spin pipe in , most roughnecks lose there little finger, my Driller did. I would like the photos we should not have taken working at 30 deg angle on wreck of Piper Alpha. If any of the few heroes that worked with me please sent copies through email( I will give) under private text . I worked with a Man - great grandson of J.M. Barrie - who wrote Peter Pan. He was a great inspiration to me and I had hitch hiked to India when the Beatles went. Also Duncan McKlaren , a brave Welder, some of my roughnecks. Plz contact me.
