Oil Riggers

Three drilling rigs enter the race for Black Gold, but they get off to a rough start. Mechanical issues slow down the Viking. Peanut, the smallest Longhorn roughneck, has an accident that may keep him out of the oilfield for good. Big Dog Driller Tim has a birthday he’ll never forget.

Longhorn Driller Gerald has problems with both his crew and his well. Wayne and his roughnecks on the brand-new Viking rig are finally making progress. Driller Justin and the Big Dog crew struggle to save what has turned into “The Well from Hell.”

Gerald’s Longhorn crew has drill bit problems as they close in on the pay zone. One of the roughnecks on Wayne’s Viking crew has a career-threatening injury. On the Big Dog, Driller Justin teaches the crew’s rookie on the rig and on the town.

Big Dog Driller Justin has his first doubts about Derek, the rig’s worm. Driller Wayne and the brand-new Viking rig struggle to reach total depth. Gerald rides his Longhorn crew hard during a rig move and one of his roughnecks is injured.

Two roughnecks are injured during Viking’s rig move. Justin and his Big Dog crew are struggling to finally finish their first well, but unreliable worm Derek is holding them back. And on Longhorn, Driller Gerald pushes his roughnecks past their breaking point.

Big Dog moves to its new home, but old tensions still flare between Derek and Justin. The Viking rig overcomes killer snakes and killer hangovers to reach oil. Josh and his young crew take over on the Longhorn and oilman Mike LaMonica isn’t happy about it.
