Oilfield laying off?

[Saltyag2010]

We have a meeting to negotiate rates. Major players are cutting budgets to try and avoid layoffs. Overtime is going bye bye

No layoffs but no more second chances around here.

i was suppose to go full time after my 90 day trainee time was up but my company put a "hire freeze" when prices started to drop. lucky for me they extended my contract but still not hired on as full time. guys around my shop are saying guys are getting laid off in Louisiana at the head office.

In 82, before Reagan cut individual tax rates, ran O&G leasing crews in four states, a 30 well drilling program in SE Colorado, and an in-house title curative section that could hardly keep up with demand.

In 87 we were brokering reserves for as little as $3/bbl.

Welcome to Texas, where the trick is not making money in the oil business, but keeping it.

I'm a salesman. All of our hands are in the field and were pulling out office help to work as tech assistants (hole diggers, go fors, wire terminations). We're behind on work. I had to turn down a job for bid week before last. It's booming in production maintenance, measurement and automation. They gotta flow it.

I frac first time in the oilfield.

Drove through midland/odessa yesterday. The amount of equipment setting in yards at midday was unsettling.
