ATOMIC
Train crews, and introduce procedures to make drill work more safe and effective.
ATOMIC
Observe pressure gauge and move throttles and levers to control the speed of rotary tables, and to regulate pressure of tools at bottoms of boreholes.
ATOMIC
Count sections of drill rod to determine depths of boreholes.
ATOMIC
Push levers and brake pedals to control gasoline, diesel, electric, or steam draw works that lower and raise drill pipes and casings in and out of wells.
ATOMIC
Connect sections of drill pipe, using hand tools and powered wrenches and tongs.
ATOMIC
