Three Rivers, TX - Entry-Level Oil Jobs

[Dsparil]

Who's hiring out there? Any companies I should consider looking at? I'm planning on going out there in a week or two to get me an entry-level roustabout job. Any advice would be appreciated.

If you have or can get your CDL, you can go to work the day you get there.

I wouldn't move out there, I'd move to San Antonio and then find work out there. Plenty of work out here in the oil field. You're strictly looking to work on a rig or interested in frac? Or services?

 

[Dsparil]

Frac Services or Rig work works for me. Right now I've possibly got a job lined up on a rig, but if that doesn't work out, just really about anything. I'm pretty hands on and learn pretty fast. Really just trying to jump-start a career in the oil industry. No kids or wife so anything works for me.

Same here have CDL and hazmat but would prefer non driving!

If you have a CDL and HazMat you can get hired on at almost any frac company right now (stay away from PumpCo for right now, talks of cutting crews right now b/c if they keep fracking as fast as they are they will run out of work in Sept and not pick back up until Jan '13. Cutting crews to try and slow down some fracs)

Working for frac is EASY! Hardest part is rigging up and rigging down (swinging a sledge hammer). They only drive tractors with pump trailers from yard to frac pad. Then you ride in shuttles until that well gets fracked, then you drive the truck to next location or back to yard. Low amount of driving. Average income starting is $80-100k/year, except Haliburton seeing how they offer the lowest pay...

How is the crime in the area? someone mentioned to me in a PM or on here it'd be better to live in San Antonio. I was looking at small towns like poteet and the like for possible residence. On my way to the oil fields saturday. Got myself a room in a small podunk hotel in Mathis.

Well I'm now in EagleFord(Mathis, TX). Any recommended companies should I talk to about entry-level work?
