Drilling Ahead

World Oilfield Forum

Hi, I have a Stop Card by one of rig crew who observed making drill pipe stand by air winches and power tong in mouse hole while drilling operation is ongoing (Top drive System), he believed that it is unsafe practices, however i could not find any references for this observation..

Any comment or experience on this?

They also make a small set of elevators to run on the hoist to eliminate having to use a lifting eye.
Yes always use a tail rope and single latch elevators like tj was saying. Thats how we do it on our rig and have never had a problem

We use to always make up and break down stands of pipe while drilling. So what... even without single latch elevators. We would just run the air hoist to the board with a weight on it, have the derrickman put a couple of wraps on a stand, mousehole it and break it down. We used the tongs and spinning chain as well. Just dont step on the damn rotary table while its turning...

May be you find all safety precautions in the manual ( while making stands off-line)
