Coming from the hard rock side of things, the drillers will sometimes lose a drill bit down a hole, and go fishing for (x) amount of time, then call it and either go round, or through. I've had diamond drill core come in before where there's a solid piece of drill bit, sideways through the core. I'll see if I can get a photo for the thread next time I'm on site, pretty sure we stashed it in the "curiosities" section of the mineral library.

They dropped a tool into the slips, and didn't notice it. When they pulled the slips out it fell down the hole. all the way down the hole. You can see those stands are full of long dirty pipes. so it fell down a pretty deep hole.

Based on the size of the rig, probably a $100,000 mistake. Pennies to the company but they're still gonna kick his rear end for it.

That was the bit. It was left in the table after being broken off. The bit breaker latch wasn't pinned. As the hands pulled the bit out the latch opened and down it went. If it went down upside down, it's staying down there. It would be un-fishable.

It is considered bad practise to leave a bit in the table like that. Usually you would break the bit from the pipe it was attached to, leave it on quite a few threads, but able to be spun by hand. Hoist out of the table, put the hole cover on and spin the bit off on the floor.

My guess from the hands reactions is that the stack was left completely open. We close the uppermost set of rams to catch something like this.

Basically almost all the Drillers fault.

Thank both of you. One of those dudes clearly acted like not only was it a big gently caress up, but it was a big stupid dummy gently caress up, and I really wanted to know why.

A magnet strong enough to pull something big out is also strong enough to stick inside the last string of casing that was run.

In fact, drill collars can magnetize enough to stick to the inside of the casing and prevent you from drilling out.

We used to run junk baskets that were shaped to let metal junk to fall in, and they had magnets inside. No one runs them anymore unless they are milling a fish, and even then most people use ditch magnets in the shaker box.

Well, I've got no hope of understanding this, but I wouldn't want to go up against you at Jeopardy: Industrial Edition.

Casing is tubing that is cemented in place to shore up the borehole and prevent fluid from entering or exiting. It’s steel and therefore magnetic.

An oil well will have different stages of casing each time decreasing diameters, because they have to use a smaller bit for the next stage each time.

That was my thought. May have a bad back so its hard for him to lift those rounds on a splitter's deck, so this facilitates his needs.

That thing runs real quiet. Guessing he uses an electric motor to get it at speed and the weight of the thing keeps the wheel from slowing too much in the cut

Yeah just get a slide axe (or whatever they're called in English) and you can do it all on the ground so you don't have all the ropey and hauley stuff going on. It won't even gently caress up your back.
