Cool, do you have any titles?
Anyone looking to conduct their own Fall protection training should be very carefeull. All governing bodies have specific requirements on the training and if conducted incorrectly people are put at great risk. There are a lot of misconceptions out t…
Working the catwalk to LDDP was better and cleaner than the floor, could get cold. Hazards were slipping on slick pipe in the tubs when straightening out rows, wickers when grabbing laydown line to kick pipe off walk, floorhands unlatching when pipe…
on lay down dp day,we take the time to set things up to do the job the safe and easy way. no need doing it the hard, stupid,dangerus way.we jack up the catwalk on one side to give it a slite tilt and put 4x4 under it. the derrick man simply made sur…
i personaly rather work with pipe tubs any day.when coming out sideways, a single dp can be rolled over and dropped safly into the tub.when tub is full, it takes just one pick to load out on rig move. bada bing.laying down dp with pipe racks meansma…
Well, let the old man break it down for ya. This operation was done most often with a catline, on rigs that didn't have air or hydrolic hoists anyway and more often not even a boomline. (Though that was prefered.)
You had a three leg cable, two legs…
I will try to paint a picture with words (I actually suck at this). The Rig was running casing, the hoist operator lifted up on the joint and missed the V-door so the joint of casing went to the sub. The forklift operator extended over the baskets o…
Charlie.....how do you "cradle " the drill pipe?I know the headache post at the end of the walk to highline BHA's into the V door with a sliding sheave. If the hand that got hurt, certinally he shouldn't have been in the pipe bin...but actually bein…
Not quite, on all of our Rigs that are using a pipe box, they cable hook both ends of the drill pipe and bring up to the cat walk. For laying down we have an old drill pipe welded to the end of the cat walk and a cable running from the cat head thro…
We can share stories, but we weren't "Walmart Kids" and cant really share pictures like nowadays with the digital cameras........are they still using this system with your company?
What Rodney is talking about is exactly right......the catline is tied into the sissor.....it's snubbed off to the boom line......the hands have to carefully center the sissor in the middle of the joint. When the cathead man takes a strain on it, it…
Well nowadays things are much safer...JSA before the job etc. But back in the 70'S when it came time to L/D DP we didnt talk about, just jumped into it, and you better have you wit's about you. Usually you have a little ramp secured to the headache…
Was anyone ever hurt? What happened?
I have not seen this method for picking out of the box, but I have used and seen similar for laydown.
I have seen different methods used, and this was one of them, just depended on the Pusher and/or Drill.
Yup, you got it Joe.

- Brandon, thanks for getting back to me...I thought you looked familiar...what Rig are you on now?
Nope, I am the trainer in TX. I conduct inspections and investigations as well, but my main function is the trainer.
Hey, while I have you on here, maybe you can tell me how to navigater around on this site. I find it difficult to look at profiles and to see conversations that have gone on, I can only see one sided conversations.
