Its been reported most big companies in the oil game bought big insurance against the case of oil taking a dive. So I'm not sure why things haven't stayed the same, they got paid the difference in price anyway. Could it be Halliburton didn't have this protection?

Hey baker Hughes uses the same letter lol. Good luck. I'm not too sad about leaving the fields. Need to enjoy life more. Maybe I'll be back someday
Seattle206 Thanks this. -
Personally, I believe that most of the negatives have been priced into the oil markets now. There could be some short lived price drops, but for the most part...I think we are seeing the bottom. How long it will last, I don't know. Production of the newest wells should begin to taper off within another month or two without nearly as many new wells to replace that production. Then the excess inventory sells off, then we should see some price increases. Of course there are always global events that can move the market. But chances of anything happening that could move the prices lower are much less than something that would cause an increase....my opinion.Seattle206, TracyN, chalupa and 1 other person Thank this. -
Don't sweat it man. I worked oilfield for a good while and was laid off twice. It came back twice, and both times I got back into it with better pay and more responsibility. In no other industry will an equipment operator be laid off and come back a field supervisor. It's just the way it goes. When they decide to ramp up they ramp up quick.
gdyupgal and Seattle206 Thank this. -

gdyupgal Thanks this. -
Even though it was a pay cut, I got a job back home. Once I hit a certain number of income/saving, I paid down enough debt that I could return home and work a local job. The pay is not great but it is nice to come home at night and have dinner with the family and some play time with my kids.gdyupgal Thanks this. -
