How about some 2013 "updated" info on texas oilfield jobs/outlook?

no per diem if we sleep on man, they were hiring for all entry level postions basically. From frac, to coiled tubing, logging, truck driver, and plant operators. asked about the contracts and "my intervierwer was the actual fpo of fracing " and told me the work is going no where for them its more work than people and its gonna be that way for a minute. 12 hour shifts 6/3 usually 1-4 hr travel to site work days off if want . superior energy called me about a boat equipment operator and sanjel has a job fair tomorrow so i might check both them out. any body have experince with either company?

 

The Halliburton thing doesn't sound to bad but I would check out a few more companies. Lots of them have the same deal but they pay 3-4 dollars an hour more. I've heard sanjel has a pretty good setup in s tx.

 

sanjel is 15 hr with 15/6 but im not sure about there contract or benefits im looking onto making a career out of this and to move up and not lateral as i would if i took a trucking job. who are you with (if you dont mind my asking)

 

I'm with trican now I did a year at Pumpco. I was just in Mathis at the trican yard and they were hiring. Pumpco in Pleasanton is hiring I'm sure. It's a good career path. There's lots of room for advancement all the way into corporate at most companies. I can tell you that 6 and 3 schedule is gonna be pretty brutal. It's just not enough time to recover after 6 16-20 hour days. I also know that you won't get many raises at big red. I've known a lot of there hands and I've never met one that makes over 13.50. I don't know much about sanjel except that they've got a big contract and a man camp down there.

also don't worry about benefits. Most frac companies have awesome benefits.

 

hiring for entry level postions? i have a cdl but no endorsments trican says hazmat and 2-3 years exp on website and pumpco doesnt have anything on there website available.

 

Both will probably hire you if you already have a cdl. Trican hires lots of green hats some without cdls. And Pumpco will want you to get a hazmat but they'll give you time. I'm not positive their hiring but they usually are. I would also look into mission well services. Supposedly their the best paying in south Texas. I've just heard that and don't know for sure but it's worth a look.

 

will do, came from l.a. monday and have a list of places to go but will check them all out. what is $ if you dont mind u can p.m. if you dont want to put it out there

 

Is there a "hot spot" in texas right now? Just wondering if you would be better off to start in a certain area over others?
