A driller is responsible for reviewing and analyzing drilling parameters to perform the drilling procedures safely and successfully. Drillers inspect drilling tools and equipment before and after the operations to ensure its operational efficiency and optimal performance. They keep an organized report of the drilling progress, assist other rig workers, assemble drilling machinery, and strictly adhere to the safety regulations at all times to avoid drilling operation hazards. In some cases, drillers evaluate the land condition before proceeding to provide special instructions for safety controls.

Derrickhands are crew members on offshore oil or gas rigs. They work on a platform attached to the derrick (mast), usually about 20-25 metres above the rig floor. The derrick supports the rig’s drilling assembly. Derrickhands work under the supervision of the driller.

The salary for derrickhands is normally in the range of £28,000 to £30,000 per year. (In addition, employers provide accommodation and food, as well as work clothing.) With experience, this can rise up to £45,000 or more.

Otherwise, you may begin with a five-day induction training course onshore (known as "greenhand" training), covering information on the industry and the company, health and safety and skills training.

The Derrick Hand is part of a 4-5 person workover rig crew who are responsible for performing services on workover rigs. This position reports to the assigned Tool Pusher/Field Supervisor or Rig Operator. The primary responsibilities of a Derrick Hand is to work anywhere on the derrick of the workover rig including but not limited to the tubing board and rod basket (in other words this person may also need to go up and perform routine maintenance on the derrick structure or components) and other functions specified by the Tool Pusher or Rig Operator.

“I’m the guy who has to put the belt on. Anytime there is something (to be done) up high, I put the belt on and go up the derrick,” said Larince Yewchuk, a Derrickhand on Trinidad Rig 2, referring to the safety harness Trinidad’s hands must wear while working at a height over three metres.

When the rig crew is tripping pipe, Yewchuk can be up on the monkeyboard for a full 12-hour shift. This time in the derrick is Yewchuk’s favourite part of his job. After all, the higher you climb, the better the view.

Although the Derrickhand position is named after the work done in the rig’s derrick, only about 25 per cent of a Derrickhand’s time is spent up there.

“As a Derrickhand, you check the mud probably every couple of hours to make sure your mud is maintained,” said Yewchuk about the process of circulating mud (or drilling fluid) to clean and lubricate a hole while it is being drilled.

The Derrick Hand is responsible for monitoring and maintaining proper procedures of the daily operations of the well servicing rig. The Derrick Hand assists in all duties on the rig site to include rigging up and down, picking up or laying down tubing, working the rig floor, and assisting in operating the rig when necessary.

Summary of Position: Must be able to conduct proper pre/post trip inspections. Also learns to rig-up/down high and low pressure blending equipment. Must be able to perform basic maintenance on trucks, pumping equipment, frac iron and hoses. view more

Polar works hand in hand with Veristic Manufacturing designing and engineering casing stabbing boards with the safest designs available . Our casing stabbing boards have been safely and effectively installed on drilling rigs worldwide.

One thing that every type of drilling has in common is danger. We operate powerful mechanical equipment in any geological condition, and any weather. We drill in places no one has ever seen before, and Mother Nature has a way of surprising us. Safety is, or should be, our first priority. I’ve seen a lot of guys that think they can just ram it through, safety be damned, and get paid sooner. This might work for a little while until unsafe practices catch up with them, Murphy raises his ugly head, and they pay in time, money and blood. Whatever time they saved by ignoring basic safety and best practices is lost. Safety starts at the top, from management, to supervisors, to everyone on the rig. The new guy can’t be expected to know, or care, about safety unless we teach him.

Since we’re talking safety here, I’ll tell ya’ll about the worst one I was involved in. I was pushing a workover rig that was working a daylight, fiveday- a-week job, and was home for the weekend. On Sunday, another pusher called and asked if I’d go watch his rig for a few hours while he went to see his girlfriend. It was my old rig, and it was only a few miles away, so I went. When I got there, they were fishing slip dies with a wireline magnet, so it was a pretty slow day. The well was a 13,500- foot high-pressure gas well completion over a big stack, with an 18-foot floor. We had all the pipe stood back, as well as two different strings of collars and a string of washpipe. The board was full.

About 13:00 hours we went on the floor to clean the magnet for another run, when two rows of pipe blew out of the fingers and fell across the derrick. I looked up and realized that the night derrick hand hadn’t tied anything off and there was no safety chain. I told the derrick hand to get up there. He started up, as one by one more stands were falling across. Nobody else would climb on that crew, so I started up to help him before things got bad.

The derrick hand had just crossed over to the board, and I was on the ladder looking at him when the rear, offside anchor came out of the ground. He wasn’t belted in yet, so he went over the back of the board. I rode it. It started slow, but not for long. It quickly turned into an E ticket ride. When it got close, I jumped. I landed on the top of the mud house and went over the edge head first into a centrifuge.

Casualties: The driller jumped off the floor into a junk box and broke both legs. The derrick man sunk into soft ground behind the rig and broke one leg. One floorhand went down the back stairs and ended up in the only place between the rig and the mud system that was open, and was not hurt. I split the top of my skull, knocked one eye out, and broke six ribs and both legs. The youngest floorhand froze on the floor, and when it went over fell into the shaker pit. The derrick hit the shaker, flipped it over and cut him in half. It didn’t kill him right away. He lived until they picked up the shaker with a crane, hours later. The other pusher was in his trailer getting ready to leave when the crown came through. It missed him by 4 feet. He came outside, looked at the carnage and had a nervous breakdown, unable to help anybody. I was life-flighted to Houston and was off three months.

Lessons Learned:Don’t overload the rig. They were running so heavy on that job that somebody came up with the idea to move both front anchors together, right in front of the rig, to stiffen the derrick. This created a three-point anchor system, instead of the factory designed four-point system.

Better training, and better follow-up and supervision. The derrick hand had not secured the pipe in the fingers when he came out of the hole, and nobody checked.

A lot of things went wrong that day, and it cost a man’s life, and hurt a lot of other people and destroyed a rig. I was the only one on location that day that went back to work in the patch.
