2024 11 25 Profiles of Courage - Chad Skiba & Chance Hansen (Floor Hands)
This morning, Monday, November 25, 2024, 6:00 am MST, we are just about back on bottom after a bit trip to change BHA and bit.
The current depth is 14,685’ MD. We made 69’ yesterday before the mud motor totally quit on us.
We spent the rest of the day (and evening) tripping for bit.
Current plans are:
(1.) Drill 6 1/8” hole to 15,600’ TVD (15,800’ MD) TD thru the Shannon 3 and 5!!
Today’s video features Mr. Chad Skiba & Mr. Chance Hansen (Floor Hands) on Rig 88.
They have 6 and 13 years of experience throughout the domestic US and currently work on the same crew on Rig 88.
For that reason, Jacek decided to video both of them together.
Each crew consists of a Driller, Assistant Driller, Derrick Hand, Motor Man, and two Floor Hands.
These guys literally perform all the manual labor on the rig.
They are the backbone of all drilling operations! Without them, nothing gets done!
They are constantly on the lookout for any kind of unsafe operations and then report the same to their Driller.
My hat is off to these guys for enduring the mud and cold, and somehow managing to keep a smile on their faces (at least most of the time…..).
Also attached is another one of Jacek’s sunset pics.
Enjoy!
