So your planning on heading out to the Bakken oil fields in western North Dakota. Like most others you probably don't have any experience and maybe you've never even seen a rig. That's not a problem but it would be helpful to know some lingo or terminology you'll be hearing. Here's five more terms for you to learn.
TOH Trip out of Hole
Monkey board The small platform located about 3/4ths of the way up the derrick that the derrick man stands on when tripping pipe
Stand Two or three single joints of drill pipe or
drill collars that remain screwed together during tripping operations.
The drill pipe or drill collars are stood back upright in the derrick
and placed into fingerboards to keep them orderly. This is a relatively
efficient way to remove the drill string from the well when changing the
bit or making adjustments to the bottom hole assembly, rather than
unscrewing every threaded connection and laying the pipe down to a
horizontal position.
Joint Drill pipe that is 30 – 32ft long
Box end The box end of a drill pipe is the female end of the threaded connection
