Thanks. I work in a non-operational role for a E&P company that has offices in Dallas and Houston. And people dont realize that we have accountants, IT personnel, clerks and everything like that on our payroll. And most people probably dont know that most drillers have to hire service companies for equipment and specialized labor, with a good amount being created in Texas.
If you dont mind my asking, are you land based, water based or both? I dont have much experience with land operations.
SORRY! I did not read back on the posts until now and I missed this one;
The answer is, I am Land Based. I am a Directional Drilling Engineer/Consultant for one of the majors.(Unable to say)
I worked in Alaska at Prudhoe Bay since 1980, Williston Basin since 1999, and now the Marcellus Shale in the Pennsylvania/West Virginia regions.
Let me say, things are looking very bright these days. And I do appreciate your contribution and share in the industry!
