Next time try this: Put 2 raps around the drill collar. Keep holding the rope tightly. Then get back on the board, set your belt right, and push down on the rope with your elbow. That will easily pull the collar toward you about 6 inches, at which time you slip the wraps around the collar and take up the slack. Just jack it like this quickly about a dozen times, and it will be right back where it should have been. This works very well and very fast .. I learned it in Rangely, Colorado in 1972 .. and only had to use it one more time in Montana...
@@cowboybob5265 I can relate ... :) it only happened to me twice. I was just saying push down on the rope and the collar will come to you, then take up the slack. No need to pull or even put your back into it at all. :) I've been out of the oil patch for many moons now ... and many things are different ... except drill collars are still heavy! I'm glad the derrick hand in Rangely showed me that trick early though. Good luck! Be safe!
Jacking it back like that would most likely work but it is hard to slide your rope around the collar if you actually do two wraps. Works better with a half wrap and a half hitch on your rope in my experience but not here to criticize
Good job!! A lot of these guys don't know what roughnecking is. I got my first roughnecking job hitchhiking outside of Gillette Wyoming around 1978. 8.22 Hr. Exeter Drilling. They picked me up and took me right to the rig. No experience.
How old can a man be to do that job if he is real strong like me, a powerlifter, and able-bodied? I’m 47. Looks fucking dangerous as hell if you ain’t with the right company. It’s obviously a damned dangerous job, but it looks terrifying with a shoddy company.
@@RickOshay... I roughnecked until the mid to late 90’s. That’s around the time things started to change. I never did make it up to North Dakota. Roughnecking is a way of life your either a roughneck or your not. It was all we thought about. I worked on one rig and my crew had three drillers and two of them always wanted me to work on my days off.
Started on Exeter 25 in 1979 then worked on rigs 29 & 31, finally driller on rig 24 in Red Desert Wyoming. 43 years later and still working in the patch. Exeter was one of the best companies I ever worked for.
Two raps with d tugger line from the rig floor around the collar and attaching the other end to the direction you want to set it back, then pick up tension easily, eventually the pipe will come directly to you, this always the fastest and safest way in situation like these, saves urself from alot of strength or d possibly of getting any strain.
"Wedding band"... and Bob, when you want to impress me, show me that 12" and 2 10", "bottom hole" collar assembly. No whining about those featherweight 6.5" collars. Thanks for sharing the view. It's hard to explain to non-roughnecks, what we used to do for $8.10/hour.
Cowboy Bob is a damn fool with it🤟🏽Boys from this era of “roughnecking” don’t know enough to appreciate lol If you couldn’t pick a hand up at the store stop and work him that shift when you broke out....you might not have roughnecked....
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Ohhh...Woooww!!! You reminded me the good old days on the patch exploration and drilling rigs. I 6 for almost 20 years. I loved pulling drill collars. "The Pride of the derricman" 💪 Now the new generations with the safety issues they pull those collars with hidraulic , remote control winch. You just need to guide . Very easy...LOL
@@joseguerrero1306 yes sir things are very different. When I first started we drilled footage Wells. It was completely a different oilfield.. back then The motto was. ( if you can’t get it, you can’t stay.). I would be willing to bet 90% of the oil fill today has never seen a gealagraph
On my Monel collors, 10 3/4", I used two ropes one L and one R, two wraps each with double half hitch to secure. I did em at a rate of not more 2 minutes each. With their pickup subs they stood 15' above my monkey board. I would have my derrick riding belt latched to my handrail near the ladder where I could switch to that one, climb up the corner column to that level and swing to my elevators, latch em and hit the latch to assure. Swing back to the column and down to switch belts. This was back in the 70's & 80's.
Wow. 10 3/4's. That's big. And heavy!!! Obviously directional drilling if Monel's. It was always a bitch when having the pickup subs way over your head. Tough to latch. And in the 70's &80's you didn't have all the safety gear!! Likely not even a man lift!! When I started working derrick, we just had a belt for around our waist, softline with half hitches on the hand railing on the back of the monkey board.
As others have said; it needed at least a wrap, maybe two. Then just pump it back. Gives you a chance to rest. I never liked those derricks where you had to tie the collars inside the derrick. I liked to have them in the fingers, right out of the way. I also used to run the rope from the back of the monkey board. More of as straight pull. Makes it easier to run them back in as well.
@@cowboybob5265 that’s wild man, at least y’all have a good pusher that knew the rig and how it ran. Hopefully you’re out on another rig latching collars and pipe.
That's the hardest way I've ever seen it done..I worked Derrick on a Canadian triple in Alberta for 6 yrs..That should have been done in half the time by just wrapping rope once around collar and jacking it back using a half hitch on the rope so everytime you pull it it holds it...and then you pull and lock it in again..Wayyyy easier..But that's just experience..
Would have made it easier to pump your rope if you had dropped it a little lower, also made a double wrap so when you pulled it would not go back every time you pumped less strain on you, but you did well, I did that work for many years and loved working up there.
@@floydfrancis7981 yeah I used to have to do it that way. Before I learned how to put out.. it’s actually easier with the half wrap if you can get it moving…
I was an airjammer for some years in NM. Sounds like you have an air package there. You guys still drilling verticles for nat gas maybe around Farmington?
@@cowboybob5265 it seems that they trip pipe so much slower than we did. On the diesel rigs I worked on we kept a steady pace tripping. I watch derrick videos and many times they stop to latch the pipe. By the time I moved to Wyoming on a diesel electric rig the geolograph lines blended together we tripped so fast. Nice video that brought back the time my rope broke and I had to get the drill collar back......................
Wow! Not the WORST case scenario, but also not the best! Of course the collar is gonna fall BEHIND the bridel line, why wouldn't it?!?! At least its not a monster derrick. Good job man, you're an Ani-mule!!
Right! Thanks that’s why I didn’t want them pulling on it with the air hoist that’s when you get it stuck behind a girt . Not to bad for an old daylight driller , we where in the process of selling out the company so they bumped all the hands back . My tool pusher was on the break! Lol all the other drillers where on the floor watching! They where placing bets and my toolpusher won that bet .
I took the rope used to pull the pipe back that's connected to the back of the board and tied onto the stand of collars and just muscled that shit back.
Every rig needs one of the derrickhands to take care of the board. It’s kind of a volunteer job especially when everyone else doesn’t do shit. Don’t know how many times they stole all the rope out of the board when their Riggen down To tie shit up first trip out no rope no sash cord
Yes sir he sure did he wouldn’t work anything but even tower! he rub his old foot on the floor, had a spot where the diamond plate was all gone and he said when he rubbed a hole in the floor, he would retire. It was his joke.!
I use my legs. When I pull collars I run my lanyard long and step in the middle of the rope. Dead pulls like that I’ll use a wrap and a half. Hanging collars a half wrap.
I watched my father in law back in early 80s pull a stand of 6" drill collars back across the Derrick after stupid Derrick hand dropped them across! I was working motors for him it was on a United Drilling Rig with a full Ideaco Derrick which was about twice the distance across Derrick than this one ! For a Derrick hand to loose them on this rig, automatic termination! I had to go wake up tool pusher, because driller stayed up in Derrick and pusher ran rig!
I work on a double double, we usually deal with 2 3/8 and 2 7/8 one day we could tag TD on a deep hole so we got 6 1/2 collars, i dont think i was ever this bad, little tip, when you unlach you gotta have at least a loop on that pipe.
Hey Cowboy Bob, this video came up again on TH-cam. I was thinking about one time a Drill Collar got away from me and my driller wrapped our air Cathead line around the drill Collar about 5 times and hooked it. When he pulled on it, it made the collar come straight at me easy peasy. hope that helps next time................Joe
@@cowboybob5265 you are a lot bigger guy than me. You could pull it back, the first time that happened to me I had to put a wrap on the collar and jack it back 1 inch at a time. The second time something broke like what happened to you. After 45 years I can't remember what now. Are you still working? Thanks for the Fun Videos................Joe

It was a mother. And not even my fault. Driller didn’t like the placement on the floor after I unlatched the elevator’s . Would you say, do the angle, it’s easier on a triple? Just curious.

@@OrdreyMcClelland how about good job. That a boy. It’s a long story. We were drilling a directional well. we had to move the collars up the hole every 2000 foot. We were drilling about 70 to 100 foot an hour. So it got tripped a time or two before we would come back on shift . I had changed the ropes out the day before.. Sidenote, the Drilling company we were working for had sold out. we had two more wells to drill.. They had laid everybody off, except all the drillers and the Tool Pusher’s I’m the guy in the video I was the daylight driller. Before I got bumped back like all the other drillers. The other drillers would not pull the collars back far enough so that the blocks didn’t bounce off of the collars mashing the ropes.. at this particular time we had just got to the Rig. It was in the middle of a shift change. Hadn’t been in the Derrick five minutes and what you see is what you get.. I got it done. That’s what’s important.. if you can’t get it, you can’t stay!!!
@@geneautry2091 when the collar rope breaks , you ain’t got much choice and them little Derrick make a roughneck out of a man. You have to put out they don’t have all the fancy stuff them big rigs have.. . you know what they say? If you can’t get it you can’t stay. Keep at it. You might make a rough neck one day..
If you can’t pull it back with a half wrap you ain’t no Derrick hand. As soon as it hits the floor you unlatch and pull. It’ll come back easy. The only time you need a full wrap is if it’s going further back and you have to rotary rack it. I can tell it’s not going far in this case so just put a half wrap and pull. Stop being so scary. Worked the board on triples swinging blocks for over a decade. I can rack them back without the driller slowing down. He never even had to look up while I was up there. Yes sir, just your regular ol lord of the board.
Sometimes stuff breaks, derreckman maintained his composure, and good attitude and pulled that drill collar back. Good job. for the negative commentators, old iron doesnt have all the sweet gadgets like these new rigs. Thank God for technology, but dont criticize a Hand, because you've only worked on new iron, and your a candy ass.
The exact reason my shoulders and back are messed up wore myself out chasing rigs now can’t hardly stand up in the morning and take pain pills to make it now
You do not have a good dozer operator. He should have the drill site level. Then this derick hand would not have to be eaten up by these drill collers. And he would not have to risk his life getting the drill collers back into line. Hire a very well experienced dozed operator, and your drill site will be very much more productive.
so I don't comment on this stuff much but you kids today wannasee a full grown man at work watch this video. get off ur asses an go get it...... good job man
@@cowboybob5265 like I said I don't say much on these things but from one derrick hand to another. people will never understand the brut strength knowledge and balls it takes to go out and get that collar back on YOUR own. with no help.

Cowboy Bob its defiantly cool man! Takes a lot to do that. check out the video on my channel it’s just a connection I’m the chain hand 2nd well I’ve been chain hand so it’s not that great but I still get her out of the crack. Ours it a double in Kansas
@@cowboybob5265 one day they ll call you .."rack um back bob"
Plus, a buddy of mine. Has been a Drillin'rig, and I thought it was crazy fast paste lol.
Pace not paste
Great work!
Did you not see a bad spot in the rope self infected. You got to pay attention
@@OrdreyMcClelland how about good job. That a boy. It’s a long story. We were drilling a directional well. we had to move the collars up the hole every 2000 foot. We were drilling about 70 to 100 foot an hour. So it got tripped a time or two before we would come back on shift . I had changed the ropes out the day before.. Sidenote, the Drilling company we were working for had sold out. we had two more wells to drill.. They had laid everybody off, except all the drillers and the Tool Pusher’s I’m the guy in the video I was the daylight driller. Before I got bumped back like all the other drillers. The other drillers would not pull the collars back far enough so that the blocks didn’t bounce off of the collars mashing the ropes.. at this particular time we had just got to the Rig. It was in the middle of a shift change. Hadn’t been in the Derrick five minutes and what you see is what you get.. I got it done. That’s what’s important.. if you can’t get it, you can’t stay!!!
Good job derickman.
Silver oak or JW ?
S.O
That's fu losing a stand and that little derrick? Wow, that's crazy. That dude is not a derrickman. I don't mean to sound mean, but it is what it is!
@@geneautry2091 when the collar rope breaks , you ain’t got much choice and them little Derrick make a roughneck out of a man. You have to put out they don’t have all the fancy stuff them big rigs have.. . you know what they say? If you can’t get it you can’t stay. Keep at it. You might make a rough neck one day..
Check your Ropes worm. I used to have to pull a stand of 14 inch back. It’s your fault when the rope breaks
Cant believe how small these are. Looks like this phuck has issues handling such tiny Collers and loosing control so easily.
I felt him pulling that, lol i was pulling with him from my seat HAHA
Hit the road jack. My worm hand could've got it back faster than that
Hell ya great job
Oh yeah !!
👍

Replace collar ropes worm.
If you can’t pull it back with a half wrap you ain’t no Derrick hand. As soon as it hits the floor you unlatch and pull. It’ll come back easy. The only time you need a full wrap is if it’s going further back and you have to rotary rack it. I can tell it’s not going far in this case so just put a half wrap and pull. Stop being so scary. Worked the board on triples swinging blocks for over a decade. I can rack them back without the driller slowing down. He never even had to look up while I was up there. Yes sir, just your regular ol lord of the board.
That's the first thing I'd have done, TWO WRAPS and JACK IT BACK
You would’ve never got it moving!
Keep your fall arrest on.
Sometimes stuff breaks, derreckman maintained his composure, and good attitude and pulled that drill collar back. Good job. for the negative commentators, old iron doesnt have all the sweet gadgets like these new rigs. Thank God for technology, but dont criticize a Hand, because you've only worked on new iron, and your a candy ass.
Sounds like a day of work where a man earns every red cent. What’s the average age of a green hand?
Imagine 8 1/2
Cool vid man.
Dealt shitty cards made a fuckin hand and got it back good job
The exact reason my shoulders and back are messed up wore myself out chasing rigs now can’t hardly stand up in the morning and take pain pills to make it now
My man !!!
две аркан надо использовать один нокинут на трубу и завязать а второй чтобы тенут
That was damn impressive. Cool head and unfucked it quickly.
Latchup Derek hand..
Bet you got some sleep that night.
👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You do not have a good dozer operator. He should have the drill site level. Then this derick hand would not have to be eaten up by these drill collers. And he would not have to risk his life getting the drill collers back into line. Hire a very well experienced dozed operator, and your drill site will be very much more productive.
It’s funny how these guys film themselves being a worm and they don’t even know it
My thoughts exactly
💪💪💪
Pipe stand, rope and u on derick.. Only. Keep focus forget all
Awful a Kiwi up in derrick no pants & have to look up
so I don't comment on this stuff much but you kids today wannasee a full grown man at work watch this video. get off ur asses an go get it...... good job man
Hey thank you I appreciate that. Probably one of the best positive comments on here!!!
@@cowboybob5265 like I said I don't say much on these things but from one derrick hand to another. people will never understand the brut strength knowledge and balls it takes to go out and get that collar back on YOUR own. with no help.
Ge't some.
@@cowboybob5265 no way yes Bob made my day mate. Would of shit myself straining to get that back. Top man
