Jobs in ND Oil Patch

5500 bbls! that's like 231,000 gallons of water!

So is that invoice going to be for 6 pack of beer and a steak? We can square up when I'm out there next week. They still want me to go "take a look" at what's going on on the ground. Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it.

That's a huge cash outlay for Vacuum trailers and Rigs. Who knows, they've got money and want to make money. I'll talk to them about it. Construction sucks at the moment in the Southwest and the Feds aren't spending anything in an Election year.

 

Pride Trucking is out of Utah , It's a small outfit with about 400 trucks around the U.S. .after getting under bid.My guess is they were not ready for the slowdown in N.D. Now they have some expensive trucks just sitting.

 

Do you guys think the slow down is only temporary?

 

I hope so , we will see in a month or two if things get back to normal busy days..

 

Btw when i say slow im talking about the water o/o , belly dumps are another story. Those guys are busy.

 

I'll talk to them about that. That's hauling sand, etc right? I know whatever they do, they won't be hitting the patch for at least a couple of months. I'll pass on the info. Thank you!

 

Bellydumps haul dirt and gravel. Frac sand is a whole different ball game.

what exactly are bellydumps hauling for? road construction? or are they hauling for oilfield companies? thanks, just trying to learn.

 

Pathfinder,

This video is one example of the belly dump used for rig pad construction.

great video thanks! it conveys a lot of info about the driving conditions out there. the road you were on to the wellpad, is that what a typical lease road is? really steep angle there, i can imagine at night in the ice/snow must be great! thanks for your sharing info.
