I' ve read all the threads,newspapers,TV,and net....I work for a aggressive company which wants to expand and grow, but its not if full because of the royalties and new legaslation, that they are cutting back....In most part it is because of the dollar...the crap in the states,,,which by the way is our biggest demand for our product,,,but because we can not support our own...we have contractors working for us which cannot keep men on the equipment, nobody wants to work in the patch anymore..rigs that are sitting because they cannot man up to run,,,drilling and service....It's not like even 10 yrs ago when everybody wanted into the patch....now a days it's like they want the 5day a week 9 to 5 jobs and weekends off.......WTF..
Long story short.....when the patch goes stupid again there well not be enough man/women power to support it and the guys/gals who have stuck it out well be worked to death to compensate......Remember this is the oil patch we change more in one day the most people change their shorts....I've stuck through it for over 20yrs,,now a days you cannot get anybody to work it more than a year...
Anyways just wanted to see some opions on this thought about the patch not being like it use to and if anybody else is also feeling the man/women power shortage...
