Directional Boring bit huh? Never used one that looked quite like that, I did boring in Florida, we didn't need anything that aggressive to get through the sandy soil.

Although I'm not personally in oilfield, believe me, it's big up here, it's a big part of the economy up here, and a big part of life. I think everybody up here knows at least one to ten people who work oilfield. Being at a salvage yard, we see a bit of oilfield stuff come in, mostly tubing, sucker rods, and a bunch of cable from Nabors. And my dad's been in the oilfield since he was just a few years older than I am now, so he's been there over 32 years or so. He knows a LOT about the oil patch, knows a lot of people, and he worked some office job at Halliburton for 25 years, spent about 6 or so as a consultant, and is now a Field Production Coordinator (guy who runs the consultants around), and I have picked up some stuff from him, and friends. Personally, I am thinkin about going into the oilfield, some way or another. Mud pumper, swamper, hot oil truck, up in the derrecks, down on the floor, drilling rig, workover rig, doesn't matter, I just kinda want a good job that pays good, and in the oil patch. North Dakota Gold is black, and flows as liquid paper bills, and I would love a piece of it, not to mention the pride of being in the oilfield up here, doing a good job, and following in my dad's footsteps.

Re: yard work, my style. pics of my babies
LOVE the hitch - used similiar (9" dia.), followed by a stinger rod - to bore through 1200 ft to hit a lower drift. Pulled the drill head off once it came out in the lower drift and drew a 6' dia. reaming head back up. Made a 1200' hole, 6 feet in diameter - almost glass smooth. I had been told our rig was one of 4 in the world, we set some kind of record as the hole was at a 52 degree angle and so long... something like that. We ran a pressurized drilling shaft (water pressure in the middle of the "drill bit") when pressure dropped, we had a crack somewhere so it all had to be pulled out and checked... the rods were 7' long and weighed like 450#s or so. I was also told I'd set a complany record myself one night, I tripped out 100 rods in a 10 hour shift. I'd rather do the above ground work though... I get close enough to hell up here without having to go 4200 feet underground! Cool thread I think.

Re: yard work, my style. pics of my babies
That's an average size reentry rig bit. Most wells up in this area are approx. 13000 feet, where i have heard of some gas wells in wyoming being up to 30000+ feet!! There is a fair share of gas and oil wells up here. I usually worked on oil, but did work on a few gas. H2S sucks!! espicially when the well blew the halliburton valve on bottom and the previous crew didn't stab a TIW. we had to have CUDD well control fly out of houston to "tame" the well. FUN FUN!! All I can say is that is the only bit I have ever seen used as a receiver hitch, and I KNOW i am not gonna tailgate him anymore.

Tell ya what, I've always hear trippin pipe is the BEST AND MOST FUNNEST PART OF DRILLIN! ....I'm just kiddin, anybody I talk to says it sucks. Luvlegs, that sounds like it was fun, trippin 100 joints in ten hours. The other part sounds like it was even more fun. Say, 68350 was just tellin me they on reentry rigs tripped about 4-500 joints per day, 12 hour shifts, and that got me to wonderin, what kinda drillin were you doin down there?

Re: yard work, my style. pics of my babies
30000 thats deep well you definetly got us out here in cali beat, like I said the deepest Ive done is 2400 feet, the crappy part of working on an air rig is sampling, when the geologist wants a sample every five feet and you have to trip out all your depth to get a sample and throw it all back in and drill 5 more, you do more tripping pipe than drillin. I would have been way more proud to say I drilled something that was 30000 feet, well I guess its all the same hard work though most important is"Drillers always hit bottom"

Re: yard work, my style. pics of my babies
I was in a zinc mine in upstate NY - the rods were about 7' long as I recall, 9" diameter (heavy) - The drill was about the size of a school bus - air powered tracks - once in the drift, it was elevated. I had an overhead winch with a hand control, the operator raised one, I took it out, he raised the next one while I stacked the previous... I also had to clean caps for each threaded end, pretty heavy pipe dope (like throwing tar in December) - Drilled down through rock then drew the big reamer back up... somenights, only made 2' of progress others, 50'... I smoked 2 packs of reds and chewed a bag of redman without stopping.... there was enough down time for me though that I also read the bible from cover to cover twice (in the same 3 month period) - it was a tuff 10 hours under ground... actually went about 3 months on that one without seeing sunlight.... tuff work, tuff conditions, tuff guys...

Re: yard work, my style. pics of my babies
haha, I get a lot of questions on the hitch, primarily "what the hell is that" and some compliments. I've gotten a LOT of compliments on my 97, especially when I first got it, and started putting stuff on it. Thanks, by the way.
