You actually gave some useful info here. I live in South Texas and currently just got laid off from hydroblasting. Think ima try out derrickhand/floorhand work. Appreciate the info big dawg 🤙
Good info man, Thanks. I'm about to head out there myself with another Contracting company. They have the option for a 4 weeks on and 2 off rotation now.
I start tomorrow on frack pad and never done anything like it before in my life. It’s 5 hours from my house and I’m workin a 10 on 5 off schedule. Really intimidated going out there, hope I can keep it together because this is all I’ve got and I’m in a bad spot financially... Send good vibes my way ✊🏼
You're doing the right thing. Just know that the miracle of fracking makes America energy independent, and therefore able to avoid Middle East wars that *could* set off Armageddon and nuclear annihilation.
Thank you for all the support guys! Made it through the first hitch, really learning everything about the process has opened my eyes so much. Oh and I cleared 2k on my first check and one week as just training with no OT.. So yeah it’s safe to say I’m enjoying my gainful employment!
Thanks for the video man! I'm about to start in two weeks as solid control and have no idea what in the hell I'm getting my self into ...but all I no that I'm ready to hit it hard and be on my A game!! I would like to get a little more advice bro thanks 👍
Yep it definitely has. Three of my buddies I worked with are no longer working out there. Even know about a couple guys that were furloughed from a big company in Houston.
Jal American! Wow! Busy area where the roads in and out were not ever designed for that big oil! Andrews native. Sell and delivered many electric motors west if Jal. Battle ax road etc! Love the industry, but that highway is congested. 4 way stop in town gets backed up for miles. Test the patience for sure! Great realistic information you gave. It is not for the soft weak folks!
you asked for a job , with zero experience, they gave it to you , fast tracked you gave you a place to live . the thing about complainers , is if you try to make them comfortable, they just keep complaining. only thing to ask new hires as a oil man is “ do you talk to yourself and film it “?
@@Bennutta I appreciate it! Iv never worked in the oilfield before but I called a company I applied and he asked if I had any experience and if I ever been offshore I told him no I’m trying to get my foot in the door he proceeds to tell me to meet him at his office Friday 8am don’t be late so hopefully this is my chance🙏🏻
I've done roustabout but just got hired on at aztec well first time roughnecking when the rigs go up, im starting Monday I did my fit test, and certifications, we are cleaning the rigs and yard work till the end of june, or till the rigs go up, i had to do 35 test training, im guessing im going to get haised being a green horn as a floor hand even know i roustabouted, if you have any tips hit me up
Yes we are only working if our equipment is running or we need to run excavator otherwise we are waiting. Only thing is we work 2 weeks and only get one week off so make about the same money
I’m from Casper I graduated high school in 1977 and went to work on drilling rigs. Just go to all the offices and apply and tell them what you are. If you work hard you’ll make it

Thanks, I have no experience offshore.

It's back now though, right?
How is business doing now?
Nice video Bro!!
Thanks mate 👍🏻
NO HATE DUDE, but why did it take you a day in half to make a 10 hour drive? that confuses me.

Can you give more details in what solid controls do
Thank you for sharing

would you happen to know what it would be like to be offshore as a solids control operator?
Thanks for the question. I’ve never worked offshore before. I’m sure it’s similar with some differences
@@Bennutta I appreciate it!
