GENERAL
Man Management and
Rig Management
A nine-part series produced by Petroleum
Extension Service (PETEX) and sponsored
by the International Association of Drilling
Contractors (IADC) in cooperation with
the American Petroleum Institute (API)
and the Association of Energy Service
Companies (AESC). This series is based
on the publication Man Management and
Rig Management.
Although designed for first-line su-
pervisors in the oil patch (drillers, rig
superintendents, roustabout foremen, lease
operators, crew chiefs, and toolpushers),
the series can be used in any industry to
help personnel become effective manag-
ers. A workbook and an instructor guide
accompany each of the nine programs.
Additional workbooks or instructor guides
can be purchased for $10 each. 1983.
(A preview tape or disk of excerpts from all nine
parts is available for shipping charges only.)

Introduction
Following a typical day in the life of a
young driller, Tom, and an experienced
toolpusher, Charlie, viewers see Tom try to
be a good manager. Like most people new
to the job, he makes mistakes, and Charlie
does a good job explaining to Tom what

DRILLING
he can do to be a more effective manager.

ager, even though he’s not always perfect.
An on-camera narrator also defines man-
agement responsibilities and shows that

man, Bobby, and other hands. The narra-
tor joins in from time to time to point out
what Tom and Charlie did right and what
they did wrong. He also discusses who is

that hasn’t happened before. Tom is puz-
zled by this until Charlie and the narrator
show him (and the viewers) what person-
nel problems are, the different methods
of handling them, and the steps involved
in solving them. 14 minutes, workbook,

and shows Tom where he went wrong and
what to do to improve. Luckily, Tom gets to
start over with Mike and viewers see how
to break in a new hand the right way. The

him a few curves and Tom fails to take into
account some unexpected occurrences.

of equipment and labor can reduce costs
and increase job safety and show Tom
some ways to improve job efficiency. The
narrator also summarizes the main points
