wireline operator oil field: Advice

The entire crew(equipment and "guns") is onsite until the job is completed. Once they are rigged up and "armed" the crew usually splits off into day and night shift and start 12 on 12 off rotations. As long as you are not back at the "yard" you are being paid(yes even while slumming at the hotel)

 

No smoking allowed on any oilfield location......gotta go out past the cattle guard/gate for a smoke. No smoking allowed in or within 100 ft of a vehicle hauling loaded "guns"

 

How big is the crew? Just curious.

 

Nice. We used to stop getting paid if when went to a hotel.

 

Yea,3-4 per shift if fully staffed........once your all rigged up and running,only the reel operator is actually doing anything,but the others will be breaking down the last gun and prepping the next one.
