    A: It is a land-based rig(陸地鉆機(jī)).
    B: Uh-huh.
    A: And we are drilling mainly for gas.
    B: M-hm.
    A: Natural gas. The wells range between two thousand five hundred metres to three thousand five hundred metres in depth.
    B:Wow!
    A: Yeah. It is really interesting. My position is called “motor man” and it is kind of like a middle position almost like a sergeant.
    B: Right ok.
    A: So basically I am in charge of the three workers under me. I am in charge of all the mechanical and electrical systems. The air systems. Pretty much everything that is moving on the rig.
    B: Right.
    A: And also…
    B: How big is the rig? It is like a big machine or?
    A: It is a series of machines. The actual drilling platform itself, is called “the rig”.
    B: Right.
    A: It is, It comprises (of) a working floor.. It is about four metres off the ground.
    B: Uh-huh.
    A: A derrick(起重機(jī)) which is about thirty meters in height
    B: Right.
    A: And then you have got a system of mud tanks and pumps off to one side. There’s generators to supply electricity to the rig. Off there is a changing room. There is a catwalk where all your drilling pipe is stored on.
    B: Uh-huh
    A: There are various components.
    B: Right.
    A: All in all you are looking at maybe about a hundred and fifty square metres in area.I am also in charge of the well control so if while you are drilling into the production zone; the area down in the earth where the gas is stored…
    B: Down under?
    A: Yeah. It is under really high pressure so you have to control the weight of your drilling fluid.
    B: It is pretty dangerous. They have explosions sometimes?
    A: Sometimes. That is called a blowout. My job is to stop that from happening and if it goes there’s warning signs and when we get these warning signs we shut the well in …
    B: Right.
    A: … and we divert the flow of the drilling fluid through a system of manifolds and high pressure valves … divert it into different mud tanks and if there is any gas coming up we light a flare to burn off the excess gas.
    B: Right. I have seen that in pictures of oil wells.
    A: Yeah, you would have. yeah It is interesting work. You are dealing with geology. You are dealing with fluid dynamics. Physics.
    B: Do you have a background in like engineering or anything like that…mechanical…?
    A: No, actually it is pretty much learn as you go. It is always on the job training. You are learning something new every day. You don’t really stagnate(停滯) at work.
