@codystruble6716 Mr. Cody, You got the right of it. I have worked rigs rough, necking for 47 years. Since 1968. Every time the Democrats were in power, we had gas shortages lay off, or the price of oil just went in the toilet. Now, it is a push for electric everything. What do they have against the hard-working folks. I SAY VOTE NO ON THEM....... bring back the spinning chain, manual tongs, and 3 handles on the slips.
I was a roughneck. Can’t say I enjoyed it. There’s other work that opens up when time and money are saved in one area. The economy and technology are always growing and changing and the work force also has to do the same
@@ulfson279 I mean I worked on a number of Nabors rigs so not sure what you’re laughing about, I know guys that work for Precision drilling and horizon drilling as of 2024 and none of them use fully automated rigs. Like I said, they cost way too much money, of the the entire rig fleet in North America they make up maybe 5%. Nothings changing anytime soon
@@robk5745 I know hands, drillers, and site supervisors that have worked on x25, x-29, and 3 different Offshore rigs and the 800 series rigs... And I'm laughing because "this won't be the future very long" either you think this rig is new or you think that it will be phased out real soon... Well your behind a little bit because the 800 has been out for a while.. also the x series and b series rigs have been out for a while... Hell, 2 days ago out on sanish hill (on the res in ND) I saw a rig still slinging chain... So either you don't know what you're talking about, or you heard it from someone thats bullshitting you... Either way... It's fucking funny... And either way your fucking incorrect..
@@RobertCHoweSr my apologies. That was not directed towards you. There is nothing better than the comarotary of the men working together. The risk we take to bring hydrocarbons for public consumption is unmatched in any other occupation except combat. We Are. Soiders Of Iron.
@jameswahnee-vn5nt Right on, brother, my carrier spaned 47 years from 68 to 15. On sight on the rig. The last 10 in the recovery and specialty end of it. I change, and technology has just made people lazy and increased micro-managing. Top pay and top bonuses from the backs of the old-timers made top managers look good. They send down a process improvement.....we made it work better on the rig.....they manipulated the numbers and graphs in their PowerPoint presentation and....VOILA......what a good idea. I am glad to experience roughnecking with the mentors and tough old buzzards from the 40s and 50s. Builds character, integrity, and want too.
What's the difference between the x-29 and x-25?
If there's one job that needed automating, it's this one. Good job, guys.
Disagree. Automation kills jobs and society as a hole. Nobody wants to work, so is it ok?¿???
No way fuck that! This shit puts good roughnecks out of work. Makes me worry about my own future on the rig

Apparently, the days of throwing a spinning chain are just about over.
Bonjour, je suis intéressé car j'ai fait ma carrière professionnelle Grutier avec weatherford drilling international komé TCHAD,je tenter ma chance ?
Wow ,, nicely done,,wish they had this rig in the 90s

Can't get'er, can't stay!

Apakah ada lowongan kerja??

Too bad these things are so expensive and likely plagued with downtime to fix this and that. This won’t be the future for a very long time
🤣 you don't know about the 800 series rigs then huh?
