Been there done that. Gotta wonder tho, what kind of broke dick low rent shit are they doing? Only one floor hand? One, every rig I ever worked on would fire your ass in a new york minute if they caught you without a hard hat. Two, they never once put the tongs on the pipe, and three the rotary table wasn't locked and just waiting to trip his ass up. Anyway, brought back PTSD memories.......lmfao!
Yeah probably every bit of 50 ft lbs torque on those connections :ROFLMAO:
 
So like most small “shops” you can skate by

Or he’s got to be done in a month before they make the rounds?

Thanks
Who makes the rounds? OSHA? In the middle of nowhere where an "antique" rig is getting it done? Nope. Very few people give a shit, and why should they. Telling those dudes they need to stop and not feed their families would be quite difficult. That's definitely not the sketchiest thing I have seen (and done) on a lease that's for sure.

Let me put it this way. Most of the stuff you see is the way it was done back in the day when men were iron and derricks were wood. But lawsuits and safety departments have done away with this stuff on any "modern" drilling rig. IF this video is a legit drilling operation, it's probably owned by an individual and drilling on their own property. Or the video was just made for old times sake to show how it used to done. OSHA has regulated this stuff away for any shorenuff legitimate drilling contractors. The term "outlawed" refers to violations of OSHA safety regulations in the newer gentler oilfield. The facts pointed out previously that the rotary table was not locked, nor were the tongs used to apply the proper torque to the connections tells me this video was made strictly for the sake of making a video.
 
my father did something similar back in the 50s. answered the door in his boxers and wife beater and said very loudly "there is but one god,Allah,and Muhammed is his prophet". they left. was decades before anybody had any real awareness of the ME in lower MC America.

Back in the 90's I used to have a ~115# Akita/Rottweiler female that had a surprisingly good understanding of what a joke was and how to help me pull one off.

One time as we arrived home, we spotted the JWs making their way down the street towards my house. So, we got ready, right behind the front door.

As soon as the first knock just touched the door, I threw the door open wide and Miko went charging into their midst bellowing her war cry "BARG ARRG WARG WARF!!!" Miko was very proud of herself for that performance.

I had to spend about 10 minutes picking up all the scattered Watch Tower pamphlets from my lawn and the street. Totally worth it. Those people still haven't come back.
