Life in the Oil Fields

I understand that. I was explaining for the people that haven't a clue about rig moving. Who have you moved rigs with? I've done work with most of the majors in western Canada in fact it was Artie Koss's us division that bought my iron of course you kno that is actually transforce.

 

Sorry, that came across snarkier than I meant.

I actually have never "officially" done a rig move, but I have been around plenty of them (my dad was drilling supervisor/superintendent/exploration manager/etc., for a number of oil companies and I was a frequent visitor to rigs and before the days of "everything safety" I was running cats, trucks, etc.). I have also run winch trucks and pickers in the past and moved plenty of skids, bins, tanks, etc.

 

You haven't really lived until you've been responsible for tearing down, moving and rigging up a rig with 130 loads going 800 miles as fast as you can get it done. All but a few loads are OSOW and they are all expensive when they get wrecked. I've been there and wouldn't wish it on anybody and really don't want to do it again ( hell who am I kidding rig moving is like shooting heroin you get withdrawals until you get one more hit and you swear that's your last time over and over again).
