heisespill
Explanation:
Heisespill is the correct spelling.

However, on rereading your sample text, it doesn't make sense, since the drawworks are located on the drill floor, i.e. there is no vertical difference. The only thing whose 'vertical distance from the drawworks is typically about ninety feet' is the monkey board in the derrick.
