Who all works in the oil fields

[TexasT]

Tell him hr shouldn't limit himself to Texas. The guy I know who does land manning is in New Mexico for three weeks then is coming back to Pecos for about y weeks. His work is steady and he keeps money stacked for the occasional dry stretch but over all he does very well for himself.

Another guy I know does work on an oil man's collection of motor vehicles. His big project for 2009-10 was building a land speed car to take to Bonneville and try to set a record for piston driven vehicles. He is a retired aircraft guy . He does this as a fun time for him.

Lower to middle? I was pretty low at ~70k, so if he's middle, bring to me these moneychex.

Learn how to do it. A friend of mine does it, but winds up running all over Texas. A lot of it can be done from home.

A Land Man has to do a shit ton of paperwork and records searching for his money. He's actually on the lower to middle end of the $$$$$$$drriiiilllll$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$dddrrrriiiiiilllll$$$$$$$$$ money spectrum.

Yeah, Yale and I saw one that had a "Land Man" business card attached to it.

Fucking LAWLZ!! You haven't even broke 30 yet, asshole!!!

All I get to do is work on their boats and trolling motors. Thank goodness for our Oil & Gas bubble in this area!

Nooooo shit.

I just left a drilling company's office. All over the hallways are big game mounts and paintings of P-51s.

Sitting in their equipment manager's office I asked about them and he said, "well, _______ loves to hunt (paid $150k for an elephant permit and didnt even kill one)... oh, and he owns a P-51."

FUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I have failed with my life.

LOL, you're the one bumping elbows with them! Still one step closer than anyone else...

Damn.

If you hear of any porch shitting positions coming available, let me know. I'll leave all the floaters I can for $270k/ day.

Oh, I'm not saying they should care.

Hell, that's a land rig day rate. Offshore day rates are ~$88k for jackups and ~$270k for floaters right now. For that $$$ they would go shit on the front porch of the White House at 3am if it kept the rigs running.

Why should they? I damn sure wouldn't.

[Snatch Napkin]

With day rates in the $20k range no one gives a shit what time of day it is.

Why should they? I damn sure wouldn't.

Shit that sucks even when you're not in the field.

I got a text from a field guy a couple days ago when we were troubleshooting some controls issues. It was something like, "Hey, my plane lands down there at 10pm, then 2 hour drive. I'll call you if the cal doesn't work... don't have too many beers before then."

First thought: "Dammit, I really hope I don't end up on the phone at 2am troubleshooting shit."

Second thought: "Could be worse... at least I'm not in field service!"

I am (or should be, rather) signing a contract with large global oil well services company to help track all of their field employee labor. It's been a 7mo sales process (which is relatively short for a deal of this size), and it's amazing the complexities that their employees work.

I have a ton of respect for what oil field workers do.

i run downhole tools on coil. great money and not too much physical activity. the hardest part is when things go wrong, or when you are working 24hr days for a few days at a time.
