Great post SeaRay, that's the first I hear of that and I worked in the oilfields for 40 plus years. The company I retired from after 35 years had many contracts to furnish pipe and accessories to Noble Drilling.

Thank you Ray for posting that, I really appreciate it. Nice of you to think of me. I bleed the business, been at it for 43 years. I have no plans for retirement.

Thanks again for the post my friend.

That’s a great read. I’ve never heard of these men. I think more should.

Oil patch warrior. The "four foot pipe wrench" stated is what we call a 48 (48 inches). Same as a 36 or 24. When the drilling foreman, or tool pusher, says "get a 48 to tighten that joint" - all knew what he meant.

Gene - I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Sure do Randy, I made up some flow line using a 48 many times in the marsh. And people thinks it hot now. Never heard anything about no heat index, they just fed us salt tablets.

I had a wrench like that at work. Aluminum. Steel was too heavy. lol. Besides most of the piping was small stuff anyway.4 inch down to 1/2 tubing. Mostly used 18 inch and smaller wrenches. Salt tablets were for football players after they came too from passing out from 2 a days. Just messing with you Randy. Fish not biting, would have went anyway, but supposed to be raining. Got excused from jury duty today. Got fed jury duty until sept. 4. got to call in everyday, not much else to do. Yard is already cut and garden is down to okra and 2 tomato plants and a cayenne and jalapena plant. Was a good post by Ray.
