How Many People Do I Really Need on a Drill Crew?
In Ask Brock episode 107, drill trainer and The Driller contributor Brock Yordy discusses the “right” number of people to put on a rig.
“ ‘Do we really need?’ is not the way that I think about it, because I think I want to take care of my people,” he says. “I want to make sure that we are successful and that we continue to be successful all week instead of being dog-tired by Thursday and going into the weekend not completing the job.”
He talks about weighing safety and costs in crew hours, and offers tips for right-sizing personnel for safe drilling projects.
