Workin' in the oilfield in Midland/Odessa, Tx.

yes please, we have people who are posting without actually being there - stuff that really happens is important bcs we have "grown people" who are actually looking for work ~ getting stuck waiting on "test results" or not finding decent work due to taking a job based on interview or newspaper classified only can result in people being stranded due to exorbitant campground / motel fees causing search funds to evaporate B-4 decent job found,....there are no shortage of those but we need to avoid them

 

I know they are part of or do a lot of work with Schlumberger.

 

I have just read this entire thread and found it very helpful

 

I've refueled their crane and logger a couple times and talked with some of the guys. All I can say is no one had anything bad to say about the company. Their trucks all seem to be nice late models as well.

As for equipment operators, this means driving the crane, logger, or 3/4-1t truck. Wireline crews are small. You're going to either be operating the crane or disassembling/assembling the gun. There is generally two people working loading/unloading the gun. Once the gun is loaded and connected to the well head, the engineer in the logger takes over and lowers it to the desired dept. It takes about 30-90 minutes for them to lower said device, explode it ( they use primer cord to explode holes in the casing), and raise it again. While this is going on, the guys are preparing for the next stage by assembling what they can. A single stage can take 1-3 hrs (divided between Frac & Wireline) and they will do 1-7 stages a day. If crap breaks, which it always does, you could end up working through the night. This depends on the "Company Man" who is in charge of the site ( he hires the Wireline and Frac crew),...to a lessor point, it depends on how many rounds the Wirelines brings to the site. If you only bring enough for 5 stages, that's all you can do.

One word of noting, when they say bring food, bring breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. A portable DVD player, movies, pillows, window shades, sun Screan, flashlight, TP want hurt either!

 

Schlumberger has their own wireline crew but will hire other wireline companies. Interesting thing about Schlumberger's wireline is that they use Radiation on logging wells. I'm not a fan of this process...give my conventional explosives any day lol

 

we do licensed investigation if someone asks about that

numbers?.....location?.....contacts?.....

 

Call me lucky charm's but I always get a strange feeling or shall I say Vibe when something is about too happen. It's almost like a six sense already developed. Saved me many of times in my own life. About a month ago; we were doing a cement job for a rig and they were rigging down the casing equipment and stuff. I don't know what they call that weight; they send up there that looks like a Battle Ax for the Giant from hell; but I started getting that feeling. I told everyone of our crew to stand back I got a bad feeling about this. Sure enough That #### line snapped and before I looked after hearing the snap it had already moved 1/4 of the way too the ground. Luckily nobody got killed but the casing crew guy was close enough for the force to send him to the ground.

I went to have a smoke by the designated area and figured it would be a minute now; the company man comes out the shack and looks at me and says; there ####### up #### aint they? I said yes sir! He went flying out to the rig cursing the whole way lmao...

 

Way to pay attention to your surroundings. Can I get a little of that charm from you?
