Awesome video! For some reason, parts of it reminded me of when I was in the Guard down in Louisiana, and of the many hurricanes we responded to in 13 years. Thanks for posting!
They are working for Weatherford International,
so maybe none of them.I've had green card workers in central Oklahoma and the Tx. panhandle.
Nice video, the guy up on the hill looking foe cell signal almost made me cry. Been there done that.
Wow where are you guys running that kind of rate at? 28 pumps would suck to rig in, thats a lot of iron. The most we rig in is 16 but we are normally treating around 90-100bpm.
I have always thought this was a cool vid.

That was up around Tonkawa. You're telling me it sucked to rig up. 28 pumps and 4 blenders. We had to rig down with seven guys after being on duty for 20 hours. Turned into a 37 hour day.
The coolest thing about that job was opening the well and it was on a vacuum. With no pumps in gear or boost from the blender, we were getting 100BPM!
Exactly how much do these guys make? What is the typical term for these guys?
6 figures easy. Some can't hack it, and don't last 3 months. Others stay in it as long as they want and move up the ladder or move to other oilfield jobs.
Six figures, but at what cost in lost family time and other non-monetary important things?
Def a young, single man's gig.
100k easy. These days most frac companies either work a 8 on 4 off or 14 on 7 off rotation.
