I spent all my adult life on rigs of all sizes, "over 40 yrs" I'll tell people "leave them alone, find something else to work at" I saw many bad accidents on them, on one I saw a man get his frontal lobe knocked out, he lived but he's ruined, another man his left leg was blown off from a mud pump cap blew off and took his leg off, also I saw a joint of pipe fall from junk elevators and killed the chain hand, at mosley well service they stood back 2 strings of pipe and the pipe shifted and brought the Derrick down while a man was in the Derrick and killed him graveyard dead, theres other accidents but I think I made my point, "get as far away from rigs as you can"
Being a old Rough Neck , Im busted up bad Both my arms legs don't work my back shot , Im only 60 my dad is 88 gets around better than I do . I worked on land drilling and did it 8 years , would I do it again, Hell yes , Made more money at a young age than I can at my age now. Today they have it lot easier than 45 years ago .

Thank you for putting this up. I have always wondered how this process went, and this laid it all out perfectly and in laymans terms with the video an excellent way of showing it too.
A few questions: 1) what happened? 2) when did this happen?, and 3) why are they using this ass backward equipment and methods to drill? Looks like eventual suicide to me. How about placing a bleed valve at the manifold to make sure there's no built up pressure in the pipe before asking humans to separate the segments? Stupidity abounds.
Since Crude Oil pricing being so high they may have started drilling in that area. But they were about 750 - 1500 ft deep. Shallowest wells ive ever worked on. But when I was there back around 1999 - 2000 we were P&A wells almost everyday and no drilling.
From an outsiders point of view they knew there was still pressure in the line. Why they didn't vent it? Instead put poor fools to stand around it with a "mud bucket" to hold back a potential 1000psi?
That is useful in any consolidated rock formation at shallower depths. It depends on the formation on how deep you can go on air for annular clean out, before you have to swap out for a method that utilizes mud caking to maintain well bore stability. If the entire formation is unconsolidated then mud will be used after the conduit is set because there is absolutely no way the bore will be not collapse with out it.
Watched re-creation. STILL don’t know what happened as a result? High pressure air blew into the air??? Every other SHOWS what happens as a result. What good is recreation if left to “guess” at the result?
I'm fairly certain this was created for legal/courtroom purposes and not for youtube so it's intended audience would already know the result. Furthermore, the amount of pressure released was on-par with an exploding bomb so you don't have to be an expert to know those three workers were probably killed.
In response to the comments about this animation. it is an animation based on FACTS leading up to the accident. That's what we do... Accident Reconstruction! Us ATA folks, ormicElif2, understand everything that happened in this accident and obviously so do you. Every comment that you made was precisely the reason this accident happened. So the animation worked perfect!
Looks to me that they closed the line leading up to the kelly house which would have cause the pressure down whole not to register on the pressure valve on the standpipe. So when they bled out the air it only bled out the line ;eading to the rig floor and not in the drill string.
Yep standline valve should have been left open and air from kelly and drill steel bled off ! Even then that mud bucket should have been tied off and every one off floor when driller opened up connection! How many was hurt and killed in this accident, figure the two floor hands holding mud bucket died, maybe rest survived with major injuries, looks as if driller had metal guards around him, that should have been only one on floor until air bled off!
At 1,000 psi in a pipe over 1500 feet long with a 4” diameter that means (1,000 psi)*(18,000”(L))*(12”(circumference))= (1,000psi)*(216,000(sq.in.))= 216,000,000 total pounds of force Basically the men received a space shuttle blast to the face.
Air is utilized often times to increase well formation integrity while minimizing reservoir damage. Under balanced drilling in itself increases production reclamation of the well.
Id say mud, they raised the pipe, set the slips, broke the connection then placed a mud bucket over the connection and held it in place while the driller spins top pipe off
Accident reconstruction is an important part of understanding the events that led up to an accident. These 3D animations offer greater flexibility toward that end.
I drilled with N2 in Canada and our BOP and hole management were a bit different. There was a large separator and manifold building after the BOP's, then that went to either a flare line or degasser and out to a pit.
You are limited on total depth but it is very cost effective to utilize pressurized air as a mechanism for cleaning the bore and keeping the annulus free of debris. Typically several hundred feet can be drilled with this method then you switch to water based mud at increasing depth and then eventually to oil based mud if needed.
*I dont have the balls to work on one of those things.... but I wonder what it's like. I left the army in 2018 and would love to see what those guys go through* 🤷🏽♂️
@@hop3881 they are well paid, you ignint bidge. And if you cant manhandle 150lb cams around, you dont WANT to be on the derrick. Ill give you one guess why they dont call it Womanhandle, or Transhandle. If you have to create problems in life, because you lack purpose or identity, you arent cut out to be an oilman.
@Bartacomus Kidd if youtube comments get you upset, you shouldn’t either. Machines will replace this job soon enough and you'll have your own identity crisis. by the looks of it, you're already there, just haven't figured it out yet. lafflaff
I do not see how you can get drill cuttings up and out of the well bore @ multiple thousands of feet with air 😞. That is some stupid shit. That is the one thing that scared me the most in the oilfield was stupidity.
The stand pipe is shut in with 1,000 lbs on it…. Perfect now whatever you do don’t open the bleeder or look at the gauges again. Just break that baby out! 🤦🏻♂️wow
When I drilled the first few weeks of being a driller I forget the pump and do a connection and we all got a mud bath with brine . Not the same with air at all .
I still don't understand why they didn't know that the pressure was still high. I was in the oil field when I was young. But I never was a roughneck. My late father was a Patroleum Engineer. I barely remember the things that he tried to teach me about drilling when I was a kid. Isn't there a gauge that shows the pressue inside the drill pipe before the drill bit? You're right. The real video is totally different. Looks like a cover up.
I think the only gauge to tell pressure in the standpipe and down hole in the drill pipe would be the one on the floor at the manifold. If they closed the valve going up the standpipe and opened the valve going down (back to the pumps) then they might have though the pressure down hole had been released when it had actually been isolated?
I agree! It looks as though the hands did everything they were taught! They checked and double checked the gauges but the system isn't complete or as it should be to be safe! Hopefully everybody lived. Although I am sure it was a mess on the rig floor and in their shorts!! =]
It looks as though he opened the bypass and shut the supply to the top drive but he never shut off the compressor supply and reopened the valve to the top drive to allow a dump to the bypass of the remaining pressure in the drill string. I'm sure you would go deaf standing next to that.
1700 feet and 100 psi?....Baby shit, we went to 20,000 ft and 20,000 psi!.......BABY SHIT!......but 20 psi in a little rubber hose can rip your face off.......so respects
We drilled with air in west Texas for natural gas. We kept a fire burning at end of blewey line to burn off any gas that was coming back with the air and cuttings.
The Berkut Oil Platform does not use humans but automation to carry out this task...Machinery capable of this has been around for decades and since we can produce millions of motor vehicles with robotic tools then why to this day do rough necks still continue to get killed seriously maimed and injured including the loss of limbs in drilling operations,. ..It doesn't have to happen and no man indeed no human in this day and age should be asked to operate dangerous machinery like this..Operations like this should be outlawed...!!
Gotcha! All depends on the formation. Well I know around here they TD a 10,000 - 12,000ft well in less than 2 weeks a few years ago! Damn rigs pop up and gone before you know it!! Probably even faster now but all depends on the formation. Basically wash to bottom. Some wells have big time deviation too. Bit follows the path of least resistance when you push it that hard. =]
Several hundred feet? Um thats not useful in our neck of the woods. Try several thousands feet. 10,000 - 15,000 ft is most common. Some oil wells are shallower in certain places but not very many and those were drilled decades ago and hardly any being drilled since. Some probably close to 50 yrs old! Oil drilling has picked up but most are at least 8000ft deep. There are a few small oil fields across Texas that are shallower but I haven't worked there in years.

Yeah, that's how it's done. If you don't understand what the error was that caused it - go back and re-watch. See ~2:04

Basically the men received a space shuttle blast to the face.
I dont know of this, but i assume the high pressure realese just killed all workers in the area or just the 3?
Ok so then what happened after the pipe came out? What was the mistake? I assume they got blasted and died or injured.
That's when the uranium in the oil went critical and exposed everyone to a lethal dose of radiation
The silence and redacted names are kind of unsettling
Air is utilized often times to increase well formation integrity while minimizing reservoir damage. Under balanced drilling in itself increases production reclamation of the well.
0:44 🤨 Is this air rotary or mud rotary drilling? I thought most all oil/gas wells were mud rotary drilled wells.
Id say mud, they raised the pipe, set the slips, broke the connection then placed a mud bucket over the connection and held it in place while the driller spins top pipe off
