Floorhand - Orion Drilling - Corpus Christi, TX
(2017-10 - 2019-06)
My duties as a floorhand were: strapping and tallying drillpipe on pipe racks, before building stands with them. Using hydraulic catwalk after rolling joint of drillpipe into the catwalk trough with either right or left side indexer sometimes doing it by hand. Bringing the joints up and then using the skate to position the pin end tool joint forward to latch on it with single latch 5 inch elevators using offdriller side winch to hoist up into mouse hole and set slips.
We repeat process stabbing pin end into first joint in mouse hole. Then Bringing ST80 around and clamping bottom tool joint and spinning top tool joint in, then torquing the connection up to 29,000 to 31,000 psi. Continuing the process with one more joint of drillpipe then taking turns with other floorhand racking stands back in the Derrick.
We made connections with the topdrive out of the mousehole using hydraulic elevators on the topdrive. Driller would latch onto stand, coming up and we would pull slips. Once the stand was clear the mousehole cover was covered then stab the pin end into the box end stump then driller would engage the topdrive to spin in the stand.
Then we would use the ST80 to torque the connection
