Wireline operator for 5 years, just got approved to start training to run the truck. Very excited! Studied up on most of the operations and have winch time.. just need to learn all of the particulars . Love my job
That is awesome! No matter how much you get nervous always act confident. I’ve seen nerves ruin several great engineers due to always acting nervous. Co-men don’t like it. 😂. Good luck bud.
Yea the company men out on this account are awesome and have seen me bust ass on the ground and save shit a few times.. last night was my first pumpdown and perf, mission success (:
Hey Joshua, my name is Samath. I'm interested and currently have a contact to work in North Dakota as a wireline operator. Would you mind connecting and answering a few questions, pls?
Okay... clearly I'm NOT in the industry, but the man I love is & has been for over 20+ years... I watch different videos to help me understand the line of work he's in. I find this shit absolutely facinating & I have the utmost respect for him & anyone in this industry. You, by far have the most informative videos that allow me to learn some oil field terms. Helps me further understand what a hard working bad ass of a man he is! Love my Mr B. Thanks for the awesome videos
@@DosGringosRanch Haha...he's an amazing man.... I think you should make a video that specially is geared for men...that are in your industry to share with their ladies, wives ...pals of "How to support your man who works out in the oil field". For example, don't pester, don't text his ass all day, don't give him crap for long hrs or days worked, appreciate him, slip him love notes when he leaves...hahaha. Too many women don't have a clue how important the work is and that their safety is important...they sure as hell don't need the stress of their women at home throwing shit fits about long hrs, days or mos. If they really understood their jobs.. they'd appreciate them more. Just my 2 cents
I pumped wireline down many times from the data van. I used to talk with the engineers a lot. I loved frac. But, I never stepped into the wireline truck to see how things operated. Thanks for detailing this for us. Seriously interesting!
Flowback here, watching this from my doghouse just a waiting for a screen out lol it's cool to see what you guys are doing in there I've always wondered. Be safe out there man
Worked everything from frac side, to pump down, wireline, chemical treatment, and now I'm about to jump back in the crane. The trucking industry is crap and just isn't worth running at the moment. So, back to my original love outside of the military. 😂
This is a very cool video. Im in the field and i would love to see more videos like this. I think you could get more people informed to this type of work. Keep em coming man and maybe some day we will run into each other.
@@DosGringosRanch Yesser wireline. Pipe recovery and logging along w some perf jobs here n there. VES got outa the pump down gig around last year or so.
I just got hired on by a wireline veteran who's going back out for one last go, tapped me to be his mentee. Go out on my first job in a few days. I've been working in the shop, getting the crash course on tools and systems. I know I'm green as u can be to wireline but damn I'm just soo happy to be learning under a veteran who's got 30+ years, it's gonna be a trip for sure and I have alot to learn.
So many questions. Can someone feel or hear topside when you set off a charge? How many feet after setting the plug do you shoot ? How many times you go down the well each work shift?
Thanks appreciate the info. When you set up on well how long does it take to finish and then move to another. Do they have several wells in one area ,say like two or three on an acre or after doing one you got to pack up drive miles to next set up?
How long does it take to advance from trainee to running your own truck? And do companies generally advance based on ability and understanding? Or are they more mechanized about it (must spend 6 months as a trainee before being considered, etc.). Thanks for the videos!
I was wondering, as I am 67 years old. Would it be difficult to get the job that you are doing now with this experience. I worked on I.B.M. mainframe computers for ten years,I have 8 HSE/ Safety certifications from Canada.These including Wellcap control Rigpass,H2SAlive, CPR ,fire safety OSHA forklift and confined space certifications Lastly, I have a CDL-A restricted however with a tanker and hazmat endorsement. Would a job, similar to what you are doing be available,for someone my age.? Thanks PETER
That’s a hard one to answer as far as the field I’m in everyone starts out working the “ground” basically working outside for several years before progressing to a Wireline Engineer aka shooter. I’m not saying it can’t be done cause I’ve known a couple people that does it but it is tough on the body.
@@DosGringosRanch I wasn’t joking. When most of this happens underground, unless you have the training slides, hand-drawn diagrams are the next best thing. I was also wondering who you are communicating with and where your role fits in the overall exploration process. It’s going to be a challenge to make this compelling unless you reach for some subject matter.
Worked completions, but had interaction with wireline engineers a few times, sometimes to set a plug or packer, tag plug depth, or when they were gonna be doing perforations or some other job.
Thanks for the information. I’m actually just about to being my career as wireline engineer as well. Just graduated this May and I’ve been watching videos learning more about it. Any advice you’d like to give before I begin my very first shift?
@@naphtaliliverpool882 depends on the company. For Halliburton it’s 14days on/ 7 off. You can request to work more weeks consecutively so that you can get a longer break like 2 weeks
I’m not real sure about drivers. In the Wireline field hands with CDL’s can generally expect to make around 90-130k a year and if you stick with it and make Engineer you generally make around 220-350k a year.
Hi. I want to become a wireline engineer too. Frankly, i was a wireline engineer in my native country. Can you tell me about mandatory education in US that i will need to be hired at least as a wireline labourer/helper?

It clearly moves the truck when the soot get to surface torugh the wireline. Nice video guys
Oh yeah thanks for letting me see something and learn ,that i would never have been able to otherwise.

I guarantee I mis it more. 😂

Wow so much goes into finding oil and gas amazing thank you for the video
Yes there is a lot starting with seismic testing to find oil and gas reservoirs to drilling then what I am doing all the way to production.
Shoot panel location is pretty cool instead of on the rack!
Yea it’s in a pretty comfortable position
So many questions. Can someone feel or hear topside when you set off a charge? How many feet after setting the plug do you shoot ? How many times you go down the well each work shift?
Occasionally you can feel a bump on the line if your holding it. I was averaging 4-5 runs down hole per shift with this customer
When we set the plug we generally space shots out ever 15 feet or so.
Thanks appreciate the info. When you set up on well how long does it take to finish and then move to another. Do they have several wells in one area ,say like two or three on an acre or after doing one you got to pack up drive miles to next set up?
Hell Yeah sign me up 💪👍
How many feet of cable is on that spool in front you. Thanks for the video
31k feet.
How long does it take to advance from trainee to running your own truck? And do companies generally advance based on ability and understanding? Or are they more mechanized about it (must spend 6 months as a trainee before being considered, etc.).

Hope you’re doing good. Anyway you can teach how to interpret open hole logs
That’s interesting, I’d you have experience in the oil patch before?
Never mind the question, I seen and watched your other videos 😀
Yea just a little 😂. How have you been doing haven’t seen any videos in awhile. Looking forward to some more Alaska vids.

Ya. I kinda burnt out on editing video’s but I’m still busy trucking 👍
@@ISXCUMMINS565 I understand editing get old quick
Damned fascinating
Best training, i am working and in training now and my trainer is just shit. Can't properly train. Glad i found this video
How do you get in to this line of work? I am a truck driver too and interested in getting into the oil field.
Look up cased hole Wireline jobs on google and start putting in applications. Everyone is hiring right now. It’s crazy.

How about tech job? wireline tech etc, what theyre doing in your operations? what skills do i need to be one. and what equipment they maintain.

@@naphtaliliverpool882 like Alan R said it varies with different companies. Most are 14/7 some are 14/14, the last company I was with was a 20/10.
I have much respect my pop was a wireline operator until a gun detonated in his hands
Man I hate to hear that. I’ve known a few that had similar incidents
I have confusion regarding pumping down sand and water during running downhole and coming out of hole
What's the drivers making in the oil field
