Standard Occupational Classification (SOC): Derrick, Rotary Drill, and Service Unit Operators, Oil and Gas

Derrick, rotary drill, and service unit operators in the oil and gas industry are not typically involved in healthcare. These workers operate and maintain drilling and well-servicing equipment used in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. They may also be responsible for setting up and dismantling drilling rigs, performing routine maintenance on equipment, and performing safety checks.

Derrick operators work on drilling rigs and are responsible for operating the equipment that raises and lowers the drill string into the well. They may also be responsible for maintaining the derrick and its associated equipment.

Rotary drill operators operate rotary drilling rigs, which use rotary motion to drill into the earth to reach oil and natural gas deposits. They may also be responsible for maintaining and repairing the drilling equipment.

Service unit operators operate and maintain well-servicing equipment, such as pumps and compressors, used to maintain and repair oil and gas wells.

To become a derrick, rotary drill, or service unit operator, individuals typically need to complete a formal training program and pass a certification exam. In some cases, previous experience in the oil and gas industry or a related field may be required. These workers may also be required to complete ongoing safety training and adhere to strict safety protocols while on the job.
