Floorhand
Send a job offer directly to this candidate
My duties as a floorhand were, strapping and tallying 5 inch drilling on the pipe racks. Before building stands with them. Using hydraulic catwalk after rolling a joint of drill pipe into the catwalk trough with either right or left side indexers sometimes doing it by hand.
Brining the joint up and then using the skate to position the pin-end tooljoint forward past the front to latch on to it with single latch 5 inch elevators,using off driller side with to hoist it up and into the mousehole,setting slips. We may even fill the v-door with 6 joints of drillpipe to build stands with. Using single latch elevators to pick up another joint out of the trough and stabbing pin-end into the other boxend joint in mouse hole.
Then brining ST 80 around and clamping bottom tool joint and spinning top tool joint in and then torquing the connection to driller specs. Normally 29,000 to 31,000 psi. I believe Continuing the process with 1 more joint of drillpipe,then taking turns with other floorhand to rack the stand back in the Derrick putting a thread-protector on the pin-end bottom of the stand before setting it down in the racking position on the floor.
We made connections with the top drive out of the mouse hole with the hydraulic elevators. Driller would latch on to the stand and come up and we would pull the slips. Once the stand was clear we would replace the mouse hole cover and stab the bottom pin-end of the stand into the stump,after doping threads.
Then driller would engage top drive spinning in the stand. Sometimes we would use backup tongs to hold back up while topdrive torque the connection. Also using ST 80. Driller would come up and we would pull slips out of the way.
One of us would open the 4 inch valve and close the 2 inch on the tree by the A legs and the driller would engage the pumps and start drilling. We continued this until it was time to trip out of the hole to change BHA,curve assembly,bit,mud motor etc. After pumping the slug Brining the stand out we would set the slips,use the ST 80 to clamp the bottom tooljoint and break out the top tooljoint then engage spinout until the stand was free and the the top drive would kick the stand to the derrikman while we put threadprotector on bottom and pushed stand back to rack it back.
Repeating process until heavyweight and collars,etc. We changed to collar slips,using clamp, and lift ripples to rack back collars or lay them down with the catwalk. Tripping back into the hole was normally done with the directional driller until all his instruments worked then we would finish going into the hole until the driller tagged bottom,then going back to drilling.
I know how to lay down drillpipe in all positions on the floor. I can build a swab for mudpumps triplex,etc. I can operate a manlift,sky track forklift,etc. I know how to paint with oil base enamel,spray,roll,brush.
I am a hardworker,take orders well and have thick skin. I'm not afraid of heights and would like to work as much as possible.
