Texas and ONLY Texas Oilfield Jobs!!

You should be good then. Getting into frac is getting harder and harder. You'll just have to get lucky honestly. Put in lots of apps. I would personally stay away from Halliburton. You would have a decent chance of getting on the but they pay 3 to 10 dollars less per hour than most companies and when you work 120 hrs a week that really adds up.

 

Dayuummmm.. 120hrs a week!
youre right I can see the difference in pay add up...
I wonder since I dont live in the state that will potentially be a hiring problem, on my side its not problem I'll make it down tomorrow LOL, but hopefully that dont keep me from getting a job down there....

 

Vegaspainter still working for Pumpco? have not heard from him a long time

 

Not sure i think I saw him say he was working in south Texas. All our fleets down there should be picking up come January so that should be the easiest place to get hired on.

 

Me99, are you a frac operator? what the website for pumpco?, I tried to search and all I got was junk stuffs. I am relocating there after New Year
Thanks
Jim

 

The website is pumpcoservices.com And yes I'm an equipment operator for pumpco.

 

Hey Me99, So Im just trying to get this clear.... I am looking for alot of overtime, and highest pay of course. Can you point me in the right direction on job descriptions I should be applying for. Should I apply for:
Equipment Operator?
Water/Oil Hauler or anytype of Driving Job?
Roustabout?
etc. (I dont know anything other jobs with no Field experience)
Again I do have my Class A with all endorsements and 9months otr
Appreciate it brotha
also is there a big pay difference between the jobs in Tx vs ND

 

You'll make more money as an equipment operator in frac than anything else. You'll make the most money in nd but doing what we do in 0 degree weather would be unimaginable to me. Those guys are tough. But the summers here will kill you literally. It can be 115 and you've got thick fire retardant coveralls boots gloves and a hard hat on.

 

Me99...SIGN ME UP!!!!

 

That's how most people feel till they get out here. Lol. Most men with a manual labor or military background can handle it though. You just need to know what your getting into before you come out here. This is not hauling oil or water. It's more like working on a rig with three hours of sleep a day.
