Oil field questions!!! any advice helps

Never mind.

 

Well i'll be the first to say that I put a foot in my mouth, The company I work for in PA has come to a hault. Im heading to Ohio in a few days, Im not complaining though, Im from KY so it only puts me closer to home. Best of luck to all of you all!

 

From my experience most of the companies are looking for people with experience. The bigger ones, like Halliburton and Baker Hughes will hire people without a CDL and send them to get it. You might try their websites and fill out a bunch of applications.

 

I got hired with no experience. There is a big difference between the calling and walking through the door.
Right now I'm working for a petroleum company fueling frac pumps,in Texas but I am thinking about heading for ND in the spring/summer to try and get a job fracing.

I am interested in ND because it is closer to my home in Iowa and my parents in Minnesota.

 

They flare here too after a frac job but I heard that has to do with boiling the water out of the gas or something along those lines, I'm sure haul hand may be able to explain it much better!

It doesnt bother me about ohio but it just means my boss will have to buy some transports instead of tri-axles.

 

Usually a well is flared after a frac to test production before it is shut in. It takes some time to get the infrastructure built to get the gas off the well. Usually to get the water out of the gas they put DeHys on a well that pull the water out before sending it down the pipeline. The problem in ND is that they have almost no way of handling that gas which I think is a #### waste and should not be allowed. If they are going to produce a well they should have to shut it in until they can use all resources coming out of it instead of just getting the oil and burning everything else.

 

I agree with you 100%, I didnt know they were burning all the gas off of those wells until EZ said that! If your taking the earths resources and just wasting them, thats not right.
