Any hookups in the oilfield?

Fuck around. 15 for working derricks? I wonder what kind of bottom of the barrel worms you'd get at those rates. I wouldn't work for those fly by night folks.

Lol well anyone in TX using Kelly drives probably isn't into shale plays which will usually require top drives, if not a mud motor, to work long horizontals... So yeah, I would also say that's a small operator not capable of paying too much.

Gotta get on a big AC gen VFD rig! (or SCR I suppose)

Drill rig or service rig? What part of TX are you in? You've got the Barnett Shale west of DFW, Permian Basin (also includes Wolfcamp Shale, Cline Shale, etc) which is the west TX Midland/Odessa and surrounding wasteland is the big boom right now, but also in TX there's the Eagle Ford Shale (San Antonio area), or Haynesville Shale (east TX)

It's a lot of Canadian but still a decent amount of US stuff. Things like this:

Samuel, check with Nabors drilling, they were hiring up a storm the end of last year, and the pay was decent, north of 20/hr+per diem. With them being one of the largest drilling companies you have the same kind of stuff that comes with working for large companies, but they treated me well the entire time I worked for them.

I honestly don't know the difference, a buddy of mine is on with Unit and trying to find me a spot but no luck at the moment. I'm game for whatever makes money and has benefits (preferably)

I'm in Dallas.

I'm already on there and rigzone, and usenergyemployment as well. So I have been putting resumes out there but as I've been told it's going to be a lot of No's before a yes pops up.

Looking to get on a rig somewhere, and I have zero rig experience. Hard work does not bother me and am used to working in extreme environments.

If anyone works for a company that is looking and knows of an opening I'd be really appreciative if you put my name in. I won't make you look bad.

I can provide a resume and ready to go yesterday and figured I'd check to see if anyone needed a guy.

Thanks in advance.
