Task 8 Read the dialogue and answer the question below.
S= Simon, J=Jack
S: So tell me, Jack, who is in charge of this rig?
J: You could say the ‘company man’, because he represents the oil company that is paying for
the drilling. He checks they are drilling the well the way his company wants.
S: I see, but he doesn’t do drilling himself? Who is in charge of the drilling team?
J: The drill pusher. He is in overall charge of everything that goes on. When they are drilling, he
is there day and night.
S:That is big responsibility. How many people does he have in his team?
J: That all depends, but his second-in-commandis the derrickman.
He stands on the platform
called the monkey board. He supervises each time they add and remove a piece of the drill string.
Each time they want to add or take off pipe, they need to lift part of the drill string out of the well
and lower it again. This is called tripping out and tripping in.
