3. Derrick operators in oil, gas, and mining​

These oil workers setup, maintain, and operate the derrick and drill equipment used to extract oil and gas and mine for materials. The derrick is the structure above a well that holds the drilling equipment, while the drill rotates to displace the earth. The derrick may also include pumps to extract the oil or other materials from the well.

Transportation incidents and contact with objects and equipment were the two leading causes of death for these workers.

Why do people need to hurry to get oil out of the ground? It's not going anywhere.

Why do people need to hurry to get oil out of the ground? It's not going anywhere.

I mentioned this before, due to my years of experience watching the show. You aren't making any money while you are drilling to reach oil. It's only costing you money each and every day.

The sooner you can get an oil well producing, they sooner you start making money.

I think I should start my own oil company

150k might sound good until you have to work in a remote area 7 days a week for 12 hours straight everyday for 6 months.

OSHA is what holds them down - but a lot of them are at-will/contractors and have no union representation.

Dudes be so extra trying to prove shyt

Dudes be so extra trying to prove shyt

I keep saying this is a completely different job.This is water there is no mud and they are filling up a ship.There will be plenty of drilling mud tripping the line on a land rig.The clean people are offshore rigging.
