- In this video we talk about getting started in the oil field. I’m going to cover three main departments of where you need to look for a job, some of the expectancies, and qualifications to get going.The video is a little shaky due to some rough Illinois roads but I told you it was going to be raw footage so that’s what you get. Hope you enjoy this segment and please send me a message on what you would like for me to cover in future videos.
3rd party usually does not pay as well as a frack company. Sometimes they are less organized. If you are willing to put in 100 hours a week. Constantly working while on pad the 12 or 14 hours a day for two weeks. You will make great money. You will meet people that will become life long friends. You will become part of the crew family. You have their backs, they'll have yours. In 14 years, I've worked for 2, 3rd parties, and 4 frack companies, one was for a little over 5 years.
Loved almost every minute of it.
So would starting as a pipeline fitter in the union as a 3rd party help me gain sufficient experience to go in the oil drills or fracking work?
I need to pay off loans and I’m willing to go far and work hard. I’m nervous because I have no experience but I’m a honest dude who can work my ass off and I want it.
My brother is in pipeline right now, 5 days out of the week and weekends off. he does have overtime and work from home over the weekend with projects. I’m planning on joining him because I get out of the Army here in about 5-6 months, obviously with no experience but i’ll still be 22 years old willing to learn and bust my a$$
23 here trying to get In in Texas seems impossible but gonna keep trying
We have the same mindset
Thank u for your service brother
Don’t work too hard sandbagging and getting paid for doing nothing is the way to go
Hey just want to say keep this content output up! Your info is VALUABLE to others who are unaware of the opportunities or even the existance.
I appreciate it, Im goin into Bakken in the next few weeks for the big pic, with CDL in hand ready to get this in.
Thank you and congratulations on the getting in the oilfield!
Hi I worked as are florhand I worked for ensign drilling got laid off but that's are that's a ride I will never forget it takes a special kind of person to work 16 hours a day 7 days a week for 14 days
Waiting on that video on how to survive in the oilfield
It’s a no-brainer dude just have to be physically and mentally I’ve been on the oil patch for two years and I’ve seen so many young people come and go. I’m surprised I made it this far.
Great Video, Got a fracking Job as an Operator and I don’t want what to expect
Thanks, congratulations on the fracking gig!
How you like it so far?
Thanks for the gems 💎 and tips for the Oil Industry. Be safe out there driver
thanks for this video
This is for all you lookers for the Key to the V door types. As a general rule, the closer you work next to the well head, the more longevity your job will have. Rigs get laid off first, service companies next and those that work with established wells. Well, they'll still be working.
Hey man love the videos what are some companies I can look into to get hired
I'm about to obtain my CDL A. Do you suggest a gig as an equipment operator? Seems like a solid way to spend the first six months to a year in my career change.
There any welding possibilities in that field??
Would you recommend taking a Floor hand training course before applying for a job?
What do you think of the workers who maintain the Pumpjacks? Is that kind of work well paid? Greetings.
Can we have a look at a man camp good brother?
What are some things to prepare for cdl drivers?
What about a cement equipment operator?
Hey there. I contacted you a few weeks ago to thank you for such an informative video--I am a writer and need info for my next novel. I have one additional question if you don't mind my asking... you mentioned that schedules are several weeks off/on. Do the workers all live nearby the site? My character works there and has a family. I was just wondering if he goes home every night or only on his weeks off. Thanks in advance!
Most oilfield workers live hundreds of miles away. For example, my family and I live in Kentucky and I drive 1,300 miles each way to North Dakota. I work a 2 week on/ 2 week off rotation. While on hitch, we stay in either a hotel or a man camp with the rest of the crew. A man camp is essentially a hotel that also provides meals. Depending on which man camp they put you in. They quality of the rooms and food can be rather low. Hope this helps!
Thank you! You are the best. @@falconconcepts
Service rigs from 1968 to 1980's, some days were 20 hrs. If you were drilling and your relief was a no-show you planned on a 36 hr shift. It is eas to workk these days....automation, labor board intervention, and you take breaks all day long talking about what your going to do and not getting it done. Easy, peasey. I say stain schoolol and the warm basement at your parent's house. That way you never learn real team and family.
Hey man I'm 18 fresh out of high school and also live in Kentucky and I was wondering if I could talk to you in DM about working in the oil field (preferably North Dakota) I'm extremely interested in the industry.
I don't have any family so this works good for me I'm in shape I can pass a drug test and willing to work hard, and I have my high school diploma as well if that means anything, I just don't know where to go or what companies to talk to I'd really appreciate any help.
how goes the search?@@thatsian-nd6gb
I’m from ky too did you ever here something about it
I’m sorry but 126 hours a week sounds exaggerated that’s 18 hours a day
It may sound crazy but that’s how you make money in the oilfield. Not exaggerating at all.
@@falconconceptswhat companies do you recommend for fracin?
