I can not believe Nabors or Akita would want to show this type operation to the public. If you noticed the first coupel the Nabors guys were skidding along the lease from the heli backwash and this was said to be normal opertion I do not think they would endorse this as a normal risk to drilling. the guys standing on the 2x6 over the open cellar and drilling 26" hole while standing there is also not a great snap shot of a great safety culture. Hope no one gets hurt on a Nabors rig move or while drilling surface as I would be quick to use the video to demonstrate the way they ensure the safety of their employees (not).

Also I don't know of any one who would look to hire the consultant that is on the Nabors rig as it appears he was over his head and that he cant really manage much more than gettting out of bed. All in all quite entertaining but really just one more cowboy video on the oil patch jumpin
