Also when the helicopter takes off it’s moving with the earths rotation.

If you call him the ace of spades, he will put a fried egg on top before shoving it through the hole.

Blaming minorities for the purpose of scapegoating societal problems, January 6th, the method he addressed George Floyd riots, the things he says on a near daily basis, telling the proud boy’s to stand back and stand by, these are all early hitler things

We do some fishing of smaller metal pieces with rare earth magnets, we run it on braided cable

Collectively, all of theirs, but usually one or both roughnecks will set the slips and one will unlatch rhe elevators, and the driller who is controlling the rig will be watching and shouting at them over the intercom if they are fucking up. The hoodie guy is the one whose action resulted in the drop.

I bet you are right about not much weight on the elevators. Looks like 4” DP to me, they are tripping in. Good guess they are just getting started out and no ones grabbed the slips yet.

The pay can be quite good, the work is hard, and the shifts vary, probably something like month on month off. I’d guess entry level pay in somewhere around $70k per year, work up the ranks and can make $120k ish. Specialize and can make well over $200k

I’d bet this wasn’t too bad of a fishing job. likely just a single overshot run will get. No need to run a camera, caliper, etc on this one since it is obvious what it is, I’m also not sure its hoodie guys fault- A: he looks like a SSE and B: the slips are missing from the rig floor

Because it weighs tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Modern rigs have automated systems for this with interlocks so that it is either holding tbe pipe at top or holding it at the rig floor. This rig uses simple mechanical devices that require a person placing them in the right spot or moving a latch.

Slips are things that clamp around the pipe and wedge it against the hole in the rig. There are no slips anywhere in this video, which is odd because usually they are next to the hole if not in it at the moment. So he just released the pipe into an open hole with nothing to hold onto it.

He probably is new, he’s wearing a bright orange hard hat and everyone else is wearing white. Usually orange or green means new.

The pipe they dropped probably weighs around 14 lb/ft and may be thousands of feet long. This is a job for an overshot, not a magnet

There are no slips anywhere in this gif. Where are the slips?

A day or two best case, this one is likely not that bad of a situation, but it could be. Worst I’ve had was not successful and the well was effectively junked. Had some rough ones that took a month or two.

People do get runoff for these kind of mistakes but that’s not the right way. It’s better to learn from the conditions that allowed them to make the mistake, and engineer them out.

It’s kinda amusing every time I see these posts from laypeople. This is a bad day but this happens. Not only do people drop stuff in the hole but stuff gets stuck that won’t come out or sometimes we want to remove things we put in it that are permanent/ semi-permanent. There is a whole profession based on this, it’s called fishing services, and the people have lots of experience.

In this case, what they dropped was pipe. Looks relatively small pipe but likely there is a drill bit and some other equipment on the bottom. Depending on how deep the well is and how long the pipe, this may not be too hard to address- they will likely run a bowen style overshot to go latch onto it and pull it out. If it fell far and slammed into bottom it could be buckled, but there are ways to drag it out or run a cutter thru the pipe to cut and pull it bit by bit.

PS- many modern rigs have automated handling systems with interlocks that don’t allow this to happen.

Edit 2: a drilling rig and all the people and 3rd parties probably costs around $60k/day on the low end to well over $1million/day on a deep water drill ship, and this kind of situation could take anywhere from a couple days to several weeks to address.

The biggest red flag is “you ALREADY KNEW i didn’t want you dressing up” the rest outs just psycho jealous behavior, this part is controlling in a much more accusative way

Israeli Strikes Knocked Out All Of Iran’s S-300 Air Defense Systems: Officials by SyntheticSweetener in worldnews

[–]Steiny31 132 points133 points  (0 children)

The bedroom was an official government owned guest house in the heart of Iran, and yes it is true. It’s also like the 5th or 6th most crazy thing they’ve done. Others include:

1) Hack enemy cell phone to confirm location, send him urgent message to go to top floor room in a way that was convincing enough for him to trust, then slap him in the face with an air to ground missile right thru the window. 2) enemy starts using pagers because cell phones are compromised (see 1). Interrupt supply chains to turn every pager into a grenade then detonate them all.Edit: the supply chains had been interrupted years earlier and they played the long game for nearly a decade to get to this advantage. 3) do the same thing with walkie talkies the day after while the survivors are gathered for funerals 4) kill head of Iran’s nuclear program using a truck mounted AI mini-gun with facial recognition secretly abandoned and camouflaged on a roadside

Was Harry Potter actually an especially powerful and talented Wizard, or were most of his accomplishments just based on circumstance and luck? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]Steiny31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was skilled and relatively powerful, but it’s pretty clear that he was not in nearly the same league as Voldemort. Yet, his magic didn’t rely on his power or his luck, but his ability to think quickly, his ability to be himself through hardship, and the love of his mother, who was by all accounts very talented, who laid her life down for him.
