Blue collar jobs enact a certain penalty on all its people, not just drilling or fracking jobs.
I have worked the fracks and flowtested.
I’ve worked on drilling rigs and pulling units.
I still have all my fingers and toes.
Working the Bakken now

Oil Industry jobs are dangerous ... and the companies usually do a good job of Safety Equipment and Procedures ...

I worked the McAllen Texas gas fields for Shell in the 1980s ... lots of Hydraulic Fracture Treatments ...

Anytime you're pumping a high-viscosity fluid into a wellhead (at 10,000 plus PSI) ... Problems and Accidents will arise ...

I also worked the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea (Brown and Root Dredge Barge 316) for the "legendary" Taylor Diving and Salvage Company ...

Maybe the best times of my life ...

I was going to say, isn’t this why SD has lots of jobs right now?
