Water transfer is the manliest job I've ever had. I started out on frac team. From there, I went to SAND then I was a Greaser then I guided the water trucks then I was the gas man. From there, I made it to the Flowback team and THAT made all the difference.
If your sole goal is to make money. DO NOT GO TESTING! Every other oilfield service makes better money than testing. Testing, however, is a good service to start in to gain oilfield experience because we are there for the entire completion process. First service in after the drilling rig drills the well and the last service to leave. You get to learn a bit of everything. Everyone makes fun of testers saying were lazy and were the bottom of the oilfield because we sit around watching our tanks. While we do have a lot of time just monitoring tanks. Our rig ins are the hardest in the oilfield. No other services rig in even compares to testing. Testers, for some reason, get paid significantly less then every other service. As a greenhand on a drilling rig you make more than a well tester night supervisor.
Flowback is the easiest entry in my opinion it’s a boring job not for everyone if you don’t like not seeing your family this ain’t for you. On my 4 month straight but I also have no dependents so I’m here for myself rn
I am about to start a job as a flowback trainee in North Dakota. It’s my first time doing flowback, is it a hard job or is it physically demanding? I also have no dependents so no problem being away from home. I’m Just trying to find out what I’m getting myself into.
VIdeo was great, But do think service rigs are Best place to start, service Rig can do t all, you learn everything. Like drilling out those plugs all day long. lol
I think flow back is a good place to start it isn’t the ass kicking a service rig is and a good way to get the basics down before moving on to something else… now young guy’s who aren’t pussies then yeah go to the rigs for sure
@@TANKERMONKEY thats a great point. I agree, you may be right about flowback. Instead of throwing people in deap end see if they swim, you may actually get swimming lessons in flowback. Metaphorically speaking.
@Andrew Robinson right on man, people like you keep kids in the field and others coming back year after year. Appreciate your opinion very much man, totally agree with you.

Great video... I'm currently on this field, I am a cemetery but I'd love to go deep in the industry.
Please let me know if you have any vacancies 👍
Is this same as “well tester helper”?
I've been on a flow back job for the last 8 days. I have to empty 6 open top tanks and bring to disposal.
Hello I’m 19, I’m going to midland soon never worked at oil fields but always done hard labor jobs any advice ?
No. The best job is a water truck driver. No hard work and you sit and watch the service crews who are getting paid less than you do hard work
Til tanks overflowing cuz y’all can’t keep up lol
Naw flowhand ! But water hauling is good too
Literally get paid to look out a window 🤣 just spent 3 days sitting in my truck at a rig 2 weeks ago

It's very easy after rig up.
Rig up is physical but you’re usually done in two days after that it’s all good until it’s time to rig down.
