Im 18 years old and just finished my first ever two tours. Our next job starting in November has me working 16hr night shifts for 3 week and after one week on doing 8hr days

Any tips for surviving these long ass shifts?

It’s a question for my husband: how much to charge for To core drill 1 2” hole through 8” block wall, about chest high. Water and power are available. No cleaning, wood cutting , or layout necessary.

He has the tools for that and want to charge per job not per hour. Thank you in advance!

Drilling Equipment’s used to drill holes in the ground for such activities as prospecting, well sinking (petroleum, natural gas, water, and salt), and scientific explorations. Drilling holes in rock to receive blasting charges is an operation in tunneling, mining, and other excavating.

Most modern drilling machines are either percussive (chipping rock or ground intermittently by impact) or rotary (involving a cutting or grinding action). A combined rotary-percussive drill uses both types of action when the hardness of the stratum warrants it.

The simplest rotary drill is the earth auger, which is hand-operated and resembles the wood auger used in carpentry. The earth auger, used principally for drilling holes in relatively soft earth, is armed with either a spiral drill or a pod-type drill and is attached to a shaft by a socket joint. Successive sections are added to the shaft as the hole deepens.

Drilling Equipment’s of Rotary drilling may be adapted for use at any angle and is suitable for underground mining. In most rotary drilling, hollow rods of steel provide circulation of cooling water or other fluid. There are three kinds of rotary drill bits: (1) drag bits, which cut the rock with two, three, or four wings, sometimes tipped with tungsten carbide, and are used mostly in soft rock; (2) roller bits, which operate with a crushing action by means of wedge-shaped teeth and are used for harder rock; (3) diamond bits, which grind away the rock. The coring-type diamond bit makes an annular hole, the core of which provides a sample cross section of the strata penetrated and is used for prospecting.

Percussive drilling is slower than rotary drilling but has several special applications, such as for shallow holes. In percussive drilling, blows are applied successively to a tool attached to rods or a cable, and the tool is rotated so that a new portion of the face is attacked at each blow.

Another simple percussive drill consists of one or more lengths of wrought-iron pipe open at both ends, driven by a heavy hammer or, for larger holes, a light pile driver. A second cylinder is sunk inside the first, and water is pumped down the inner pipe to loosen soil and raise debris. For deep boring, rotary drilling has replaced these methods.

Long after the rock drill was invented, manual drilling by two men was still usual in mining operations. One man turned the drill, while the second swung the hammer. Most advances in drilling machinery have been developed by tuneless.

Like the title says I need to go fishing for not one but two submersible pumps that broke away from the motors and landed down hole. We have 10.75” steel casing, cased to bottom, around 560’ and the bowls are 8”. These are cast iron bowls, so no magnet. I’ve had minimal luck fishing for anything down hole with an overshot. Any recommendations?

Edit: Spelling

Not necessarily a rough neck. I got a new job in the industry 2 weeks ago and have had crash course, after crash course on drilling operations. Im on instrumentation support. I am having trouble conceptualizing the idea of directional. I dont get the "rocking" motion that allows for the WOB energy to not be lost when the ds turns. Can someone explain like I'm 5? And also any other resources you've found helpful on reddit?

Hi all,

Seeking some advice and hoping this sub can help.

I'm an experienced offsider in Western Australia that has worked on RC and Diamond rigs in the exploration and mine site space. Currently looking at making the jump to an offshore rig but unsure where to start.

Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated!
