You hit the ball out of the park with that statement.

Oilfield and accident just seem to go together in the same sentence.

Some of my friends who are roughnecks have a joke that none of them have all their fingers or original teeth.

And some people wonder why oil field workers are called ‘roughnecks’. Could that be why they are among the highest paid manual labor?

Dangerous, hard, dirty, physically demanding, long hours, often harsh climate, unforgiving job.

My thanks and appreciation to those ‘roughnecks’ who make our lives easier.
