What is a derrick hand in an oil field?
Derrick Hand is the title of the person who works in the derrick of a workover oil rig. Workover oil rigs are usually portable, and they fix oil well problems like broken pipes, pump rods, and pumps. They pull thousands of feet of steel rod and/or tubing out of oil well pipes, sometimes miles. The derrick is the basket near the top of the rig (maybe 60 feet up), where the derrick hand attaches/detaches pump rod and tubing and leans or hangs it in sections so it can be replaced when finished. It is a very physically difficult job and pays very very well with little or no experience.
