Enjoyed the video. I worked on a smaller RC rig operation before. We provided all our own meals, and it was tough work. Our pads were carved out of mountains with the rig deck split at 45 degrees, drilling -35 angles. We only drilled 1000 ft (~300 m) on these holes. Weatherford looks like driller's heaven to me.
I Flew through midland texas and talked with a guy who once worked on a rig. His leg and arm where mangled in a rig incident. He said it happens more often then not, lots of messed up guys for life. Dangerous job
Serious question from a american-german: Why does someone get into a job in the oil-industry nowadays with outdated fossil fuels declining rapidly? Really, food? It´s really interresting! Don´t you believe that in at least 10 years you will bitching around about loosing your job? Why don´t get a job at a more modern industry which will be there until u retire?
When my dad went to war, he said they were fed well at camp. Just like these boys. And then he reminded me.... they weren't there for a picnic.... they were there to do a job.
1965/6 at 21, I worked as a roughneck for OD&E in the NT. 3 x 8 hour shift, 7 days a week for 7 weeks straight with one week off usually spent in Alice Springs. Crew of 4, driller, derrick man , motorman & roughneck. Air con Worldwide caravans with showers & the best food in the canteen. The Toolpusher (rig boss) would line up the 4-6 new guys off the light aircraft & usually put 2 in 5 back on the plane. No question, just skilled character assessment. rarely would a nutjob get through but was' run off' after his first shift. The mateship was great & I discovered muscles in my back I never knew existed.😎💪👍
The accommodation and food look bloody awesome! Seriously considering going into either offshore or this type of stuff, but having only worked in hospitality and mainly f&b to be exact I really wondering what the chances are of getting hired.

That is a bad ass crew quarters. I heard a super single sucks. Working underbalanced wells are pretty laid back. We have them 30 day from beginning to T.D.
i got my 1st jump by showing up on site asking if there were any no shows. there was a guy hung over and didnt make it in what they didnt know was that was my dad and he told me to just go take his job. i missed the 80,s and the no red tape

Man this shit is easy, would love to work in Australia, been on rigs since 08 ain't ever seen catered camps. These Montana North Dakota winters are getting old.
I've been on many many drill rigs and not one has ever been that spotless, mud,snow,ice ,may be in Australia, I'm talking about north Dakota, good movie though , clearly safety is your number one priority, I'm impressed
its just hot and dusty here not much snow around and you can bet they gave a rig a good clean up before filming for the boss or it was the 1st day there and they hadn't made a mess yet
I worked for Ensign for 4 months. You had one small room with two bunk beds in it. One bathroom for everyone to share. No food was provided. Driller and tool pusher didn’t care about safety as they smelt of whiskey every day. That being said I enjoyed the work. But the morale of that specific rig was horrible.

Yeah in Australia they are all way smaller and easier to work on. Plus they supply you with awesome food 24/7
and they are super strict on hours. You rarely work over 12
This is the recruiting video, the actual realities change on site.
It's actually not that much different from the video in Australia. They have it good. If I was single I would gladly stay on hitch a shit ton.
