Just Curious..... Permian Basin Question

What is business like at present in the Permian Basin oilfields?
Is everything still basically dead, layoffs left and right, or is it limping along?
I left that area in May 2020 and I'm wondering what it is like now.....?

 

No boom yet.

 

From what I hear, upstream is slow but kinda picking up, midstream is steady to busy, depending on the company.

 

Frac companies are hiring
Sand plants are hiring

 

Still a shortage of Sand Haulers from what I’ve been seeing, or at least the expectations that more are needed.

 

1845 will bring you on so fast it'll make you second think the choice!

 

Are they any better now? I really haven't heard anything positive about them

 

Well, the general rule is if a company is hiring that often and that in need of drivers it's because drivers don't want to work there....

 

I know 6 O/O’s personally that left - speaking from experience- they raised rates to get drivers back out but to me East TX/LA is better as theres more civilization around. It’s your choice but at this point I don’t feel the need to compete with company drivers at any company. So good luck with your decision moving forward. Be Safe!

 

1845 haha I made it all of about one week with that outfit. It's a utter #### show! From the top to the bottom seriously one of the most disorganized companies I've ever had the misfortune of winding up at.
