Any hookups in the oilfield?

[GrayStangGT]

Its the oilfield, who knows. I've read analyst that are predicting prices over the next 5 years from $75 to $150. Your guess is as good as mine.

I remember going to an interview with Nabors right out of college summer 2008 and the guy telling me we will never see under $100 oil again, by the end of 2008 it hit $45.

So far none of our customers have slowed down, but it is better to be safe than sorry. The drastic decrease has a lot of people I know concerned especially on the drilling side.

Well that's great, I could be walking into unemployment huh?

[GrayStangGT]

I was curious about that, is it likely I should have to worry?

Based on the current price of oil save every dime you make in case they start stacking out rigs.

V door keys, pipe stretchers, drain plug in the reserve pit, etc - none of those exist... don't try to refill the water table in the crown, don't use a bag to collect air samples...

And if anyone tells you to grab a sledgehammer and go hit the ground so they can do "seismic testing" just tell them to eat dicks lol

See I know all this, just not to approiate reaction. Better to play along, or be like I dont think so.

work smart and go the extra mile to take care of equipment/tools/etc.

everybody was a worm at one point. the guys above you will take quick note of aptitude and if you show care for equipment/tools/etc.

If you're going to eventually be put charge/control of a rig, frac truck, whatever, they want to know that you'll take care of it. If you're trashing/neglecting $500-5000 tools, they probably won't entrust you with a 5 million dollar tool.

Well my goal is to move up as high as possible, don't want to be a slave forever haha.

what position will you be working in?

Floorhand at first.

Any tips for a guy greener than grass, other than the outwork everyone, and always stay busy?

Well got picked up by Patterson yesterday, pending the results of a hair test. So I should be pretty much ready to go in a week or so, whenever they decide to send me out.

My brother is a Solids Control operator and looking for a oilfield specific resume guy to use. Any of you used one before that you can recommend?

On another note. Anyone work for Stallion Oilfield Service? I just sent my resume off for a Safety position? The guy whose place I would be taking runs from the Texas panhandle to Decatur, up through OK and into KS. I have a few other questions too.

Sitting around hoping someone on the Internet will hook you up won't work.it will be very very unlikely you'll be on a rig around here, so go to where the work is.

Drive your ass to midland and apply. Dressed nice with the intent to hand out my resume to ever directional company in town, got hired on the spot the second place I went to.
