I've found a nice warm pants pocket is about as dry as its going to get while setting a head. I've tried everything somehow something is always going to get muddy and wet.
Why do they only want well heads put on at night I have never put one in the daylight I know they probably never do but I ain't had the opportunity to do one yet its just like they very rarely cement yard the casing in during the day either I can't figure that one out either
In all of my years in this, I can only remember 3 heads that were set during the day. But like Shad said, Thet were SUPPOSED to be done at night. We were there and waiting, they just didn't get it ready in time.
The last cut off I did took 16 hours from the time I left the house til I got home. It was thanksgiving day and all hell broke loose on that rig I only worked 30 mins. That day and made 1600.00 it was a good day
It rained off and on all night. After I got started it started pouring and the steady stream of cold water running down the back of my pants and they failed cover over the rotary table opening I had to do something and it worked good. It was a bad night. Wet and covered in mud ran out of acetylene even forgot to get sumthing to eat. Left the house at 5pm got done at 4am then started the 2 hr trip home stopped in a truck stop slept for and hr got home at 7the took my daughter to school and the phone rang again to fix a truck. Got done w that at noon and called it a day I was exhausted gotta love it.
Seems like with this rig if I set the conductor before noon its a daylight head set after noon its a night job.
