Any hookups in the oilfield?

[samuel642000]

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.

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)

Go on FB and join the "Drilling rig hands only" group (don't post a job wanted thing... wait for people to post an opening)

For example, 4 hours ago:

I'm looking for a Derrickhand and a chainhand to work on a double Kelly rig. Rig is located in Houston and surrounding areas. This is a small one rig company running two crews currently, until a third is hired. Crews rotate days and nights with a few days off in between rig moves. Derrickhand is $15/hr and chainhand is $14/hr, both with $40/day per diem. Housing is provided by the company. No insurance or benefits. PM me for more information. Serious inquiries only. ( Experience required.)

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

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.

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.

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.

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)

I don't know the geography of the area, but I worked on a kelly rig in the Lamesa area, I liked that more than working on a top drive rig, TBH.

Kelly rigs suck. . H&P is where you want to go. . West Texas is booming right now. .

I'll def. look into them thanks for the heads up hopefully it leads to something good.

Thats what I hear but it seems that noone wants somebody with zero experience.

[rz5.0]

We take them all the time. .
I just hired some one yesterday. .

[samuel642000]

Damn, one day late. Seems to be my luck.

[rz5.0]

If I hear anything when I get back to work I'll hit you up

[samuel642000]

I'd appreaciate it man, I'll PM you my number so you'll have the easiest way to get me.

Lots of jobs here in the Marcellus and Utica. We have Precision and Patterson super triples that drill for us but they are pretty automated. Can you weld or if you want to work for a frac, casing or cement crew I can check some contacts for you. Those tend to be the majority of hot field jobs requiring less experience.

Protip: if you want somewhat of a normal life, find a rig that stays close to somewhere you want to live that has 8 hour towers. I've worked 7/7 and 14/14 with 12 hour towers, ultimately I liked 7/7 better, even though I had less time at home due to drive time.
