My general observations have been that the smaller the rig the faster the pace, the super singles trip pipe with minimal effort but I've seen them jump holes every 3-4 days, sometimes less, which can mean alot of rigging up and out. A hard working roofer should do alright on a drilling rig. I dont know if I'd reccomend working on a service rig to anyone, I worked a small single for a winter servicing shallow heavy oil wells for CNRL in Wabasca and the pace was insane, the crews rough, and the rotation brutal if it existed at all. Although I enjoyed it I'm pretty sure I've become a worse person because of that winter.
