Athe rizona BOB good video i live in central ca. I have to say that the coldest place that i had the pleasure to frac was Rock springs WY. With your major rival Schlumberger love frac the friendships you make last a long time, Good job.

@boricua2152 I know what you mean about Wyoming being cold, the only thing that stops the cold wind from spilling off of the mountains is a barbed wire fence. And hats off to Schlumberger, it is a fine company who hires top notch people (they spend a lot on college recruiting...which I think is great).

As far as friendships and camaraderie goes, it is hard to think of a better place for making good friends than working in the oil patch. Thank you very much for commenting! Bob

Worked for Halli in Canada. (key word is worked) Canadian oilfield is awesome. You need to love the mud and cold to enjoy it!

[ArizonaBob]

@Coleton337502 That sounds like a difficult place to frac in. I think the coldest weather I have ever frac'd in was about -17 F below. When it got real cold like that we would have to hire contractors to bring in steam units for the well head...some of the guys soaked their old gloves in diesel and burned them to heat things up. I can only imagine what its like to frac in Canada...I am sure there are lots of miles of muddy dirt roads there.Good fun. Thanks for commenting! Cheers!

just landed a job for Trican well service in Odessa TX start next week..moving to Odessa tomorrow. They are paying for Mileage and housing me for a month when I arrive. making $14 an hour as a chef assistant but will also be training to become a frac/acid operator. pretty excited

[ArizonaBob]

@jmac055 Congratulations on your new job!!! You are going to love the over-time (and there will be lots of it when you start frac). Lots of good oil "hands" there in Texas too, so there is a good chance you'll be working with a crew that knows their stuff. Make money, stay safe and best wishes. Bob

@sundiemay Best of luck to you! As I mentioned in the PM, I have been out of the field for sometime. It would almost certainly pay to get in touch with a few of the people who have commented on this video... there are jobs in the oil patch right now. Best regards, Bob

@Trashjack101 Thanks for commenting my vid! You must be willing to re-locate to the oil patch...pick a production area you would be willing to re-locate to and then start calling the field camps of the companies who are drilling in the area. One of the hottest areas in the lower 48 states right now is in North Dakota (Williams County & Mountrail County). Do a little research on those two areas, make a few calls, I think you will have immediate results. Best of luck to you! Cheers!
