    Elog won't allow you to drive 12, without going into violation, but with only a 8 hr break he'd be in violation before he gets started

    The pump jacks on several leases are being shut off at night which there is less production water headed to facility to load.

    texas oilfield HOS. 12 hours driving in a 15 hour day driving clock resets after 8 hours off duty. resets after 24 hours any time you want. as long as you stay intrastate.

    Yep...its coming though. They are stacking rigs. Less drilling means less fracing. I would say feb-march with oil staying even where it is at close today, $55.41 a barrel,down over 2$ today alone,that its gonna get real slow. I work directly with the producers everyday and its what I'm told. EOG anyway.
