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

If youre in CA get out of there and go from Big Springs thru San Angelo to Big Lake....they are hiring....you will not get a job sitting behind a monitor.....beat on doors....there are signs up everywhere.....rv campgrounds are going up....Devon is looking for the sweet spot and its gettin ready to BOOM :smt064

 

I think if you wait almost a year the situation is going to be different.

Now if maybe longknocker will decipher what he wrote I could make some calls myself. I plan on making a move of some sort in the next few weeks.

Is Big Lake the place to be? Is Devon a company that needs drivers?

 

I just Googled "Devon" and Oil and found this recent article... http://www.mysanantonio.com/busines...y-oil-boom-in-the-Lone-Star-State-4303192.php

The Cline Shale is where the future is at. Big Lake seems to be in that area.

Here is a little quote from the article...
Early estimates for the Cline, based on Devon Energy's exploration in the area, put the estimated recoverable reserves at 30 billion barrels of oil.
By comparison, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates the Eagle Ford holds up to 7 billion to 10 billion in recoverable reserves, while the Bakken Shale could hold as much as 4.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil.
Benjamin Shattuck, an analyst with Wood Mackenzie in Houston, said just 80 to 100 wells have been drilled in the Cline, and data is sketchy so far. He expects the industry in six months will have twice as much information on Cline Shale as it does now.
"Operators are doing their best to keep the result confidential," he said. "The big thing in the Cline is that results so far have been good."

I have a good friend that is a geoligist that is currently working around the Big Lake region and I fully trust him when he told me that data so far they have accumulated is very promising.Devon has roughly 650,000 acres leased to punch holes in.They are claiming that the Cline and Wolfcamp shales are going to produce 50 % more than the Bakken and Eagle Ford combined.That is truly a bold statement, but Ive known this guy for 30 years and hes part of the no f#*@ around club when it comes to reality.He told me a while back that Devon and a handful of other outfits are still in the exploration phase looking for the real sweetspot.The word is that by the end of this year and the start of 2014 its gonna BOOM.The numbers look very promising but they wont actually know for sure for another 6 months.They will be begging for CDL holders .If it all falls in place Big Spring and San Angelo will turn into a Williston and be run into the ground.A lot of people in San Angelo are freakin because they dont want theyre town run into the ground but Id say they dont have a choice because its coming, its just a matter of time.Gear up and prepare for it, there will be work there for the next 10 to 15 years easily........if ya can handle the heat.

 

Make sure you have plenty plenty of water

 

Devon is drilling 400 new wells in our area this year...hubby hauls for Devon (doesnt drive for them)
