halliburton and schlumberger are terrible, there are select frac crews that kick ass, but for the most part their equipment is always breaking, 16-48 hours of downtime, etc, etc. Weatherford, Trican, and some Baker frac operations fuking get after it and kick ass. but i can confirm halli/schlum are slow as fffyyy
you have plenty of time to enjoy it when you 1-2 weeks off at a time. and with at least 3-5 years field experience or the right connections you can get even cushier jobs with more "normal" schedules. working a little over half the year and making $250-400k is well worth working a few extra hoursTrump 2016

Even the Midwest is experiencing an inflation in fracking.
I know a 21 year year old who just got hired on for a small operation who is currently making 70k a year.
He had one year experience with another company and his CDL.

Fellow Idaho brah, Ive been looking into doing this for awhile now but have zero related work experience. From what Ive been reading it seems like the only way to get in without experience is to either have a good connection to help as a reference or travel to ND and apply in person while being very persistent. I saw someone who claimed to be in charge of hiring claim they basically disregard online applications completely for drilling jobs.

Im up in North Dakota working shutdowns on coal fires and oil refineries and the oil boom in Dickinson and Williston are no joke. Tons of money to be made up here in the oil fields. bring your chick up here with you and tell her to work a fast food gig for $15/hr.

That's what people ITT aren't realizing and many don't when they see government workers getting high wages.
It all comes down to how much you are ACTUALLY taking home. For a person who doesn't own a home for example like a 20-25 year old who lives at home and just goes to work here will be absolutely ****ing set. Food? Paid for. Housing? Paid for. Like your 3rd point you also have plenty of room for advancement so that just means extra cash.
For a person who is getting 26$ and hour by the government loses all these things and probably some additional retarded fee's.

OP I just accepted a frac position with HAL in Williston leaving my $60k/yr dead end job. I was looking for gear advice and came across your post. I report for safety training in three weeks. Is it better to wait until I am there to get gear or bring it? Can you wear synthetic under garments? Dunlops or ? for footwear? Did you need your own transportation up there?
And props for doing it.

What jobs in the oil industry would I qualify for?
Have a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. Worked for a year as a lab scientist for Procter and Gamble in their R&D department where I did Chem Engineer things (work with heat flow analysis, extrusion devices and things like that). Would like to see if I would qualify for anything good in the oil department.
Pls respond.

Sorry for my tardiness in replying, brahs. I need to log in more often.
Just apply. When interviewing, play up your ability to work hard and deal with elements. Good luck!
Good stuff man. Hope to see you out there.
Yes. I will not take taxpayer money anymore.
I applied at halliburton.jobs.com. I listed a few companies elsewhere in the thread, I'm sure they've got sites as well. You could look up a list of oilfield service companies on Wiki, or go to Google maps of Williston, Dickinson, Minot ND and see who's there.
Yeah, we've actually added more crews recently to keep up with the work. Obviously I don't have much to compare to, but sometimes it does seem slow. But I don't know how much value the oil companies put on safety. Our customer seems to not care how slow we go, but acts like it's the end of the world if someone gets a recordable injury. Probably comes down to insurance costs.
We usually finish a well in 4-5 days. Rarely screen out, but we've got a really good treater too. If a screenout happens, it's usually on the other shift.
pm me bro. I can give you a reference, but that's it. I don't have too much "pull" yet.
It's not for me to have fun with. It's so my daughter doesn't have to work as a cashier for the rest of her life.
I got in with a reference, no experience. Halliburton only does online applications. No idea with other companies.
Yes, I recommend the Under Armour 4.0 or Cabela's ECWS Polar sets. They will provide your boots, I recommend 400g Thinsulate or better since you'll probably be working sand during the winter. Warm socks, face mask, warm beanie. Glove liners are nice too, although we just got these kickass new cold weather gloves that should be fine.
Yes.
Probably just about anything man. Engineer, fluid tech, check out MI-Swaco, they might be up your alley and I hear they make bank.
That, I do not know. I would think an overseas assignment would be difficult to get as a new hire unless you spoke German or something. I don't know for sure, but I'd be willing to bet they'd help with overseas relocation./l、

Lol every Canuck says this to us US oilfield brahs... you guys need to aware yourselves on how difficult recent Canadian laws have made it to do so.
http://www.esdc.gc.ca/eng/jobs/forei...ed/index.shtml
Cliffs:
* Canadians were complaining about all the foreigners working in the Canadian oilfields
*As a result, Canada passed a new law this year which charges companies a $1,000 application fee for any foreign employee they want to hire who would have status as a temporary worker (i.e. any job with a contract shorter than 24 months, which includes most oilfield jobs)
*The application fee is NON-refundable and applications can be denied at will and without detailed cause.
Shorter cliffs: It's not as easy for Ameribrahs to get entry-level gigs in Alberta as it used to be.
