Oilfield Hauling in Mexico

Why didn't you ask the 2 guys that you talked to?

 

Just ran across this thread. Don't know about the south of Mexico, but in the northern portion, the usual suspects have operations there. Schumberger, Halliburton and some of the lesser known players.

However, you can't just come down here and work. You'd need to apply for immigration documents with work authorization, which depending on the needs of the company, might be easy or difficult to obtain.

The immigration rules in Mexico are very similar to the US. If the job your applying for cannot be filled by qualified Mexican labor, you're in like Flynn. Otherwise,if there is a Mexican national qualified and available for the position, your application for a work permit would be denied. And the colleges down here are cranking out a new generation of well educated people in the petrochemical and related fields. Rumor is though that the new President is going to try to relax restrictions of foreign investment in PEMEX, the national oil company and allow private contractors to come in to help with exploration and development. We'll have to see though.

 

What I'm seeing is they're using the same equipment as their US subsidiaries are using. Crude hauling? I really haven't been paying much attention to that. With the crude, they're using 9 axle 45 foot doubles.... That may be coming to an end nationwide soon as they negotiate a new NOM-012 which covers size and weights, especially in light of the propane tanker explosion in Ecatepec a couple of weeks ago.

What I'm seeing most active are the well service rigs, wirelines, etc.
