Hey I just graduated in December and I have been working with BJ since January. I got hired on with a training program to be a frac treater. Before coming out here I have never even been to a location/ oil field and I am really liking it so far. The hours are crazy (90-125 a week) but the work is really interesting. I was just wondering what other people on this board are doing out here.

Why Midland? It was Texas, not NM.
Came here to help out her family and never left.
Probably never will.

Glad BJ is working out for you.

Didn't BJ get purchased by Baker Hughes? Or has that yet to come full circle?

I'm curious, Pat, if your position is BJ's version of a "Field Engineer" program? Prior to graduating, BJ contacted me about a Frac Supervisor program, but I decided against it...which I somewhat regret now.

In Midland, what else, Oil and Gas Exploration and Production, is there any other occupation?

Gig'em, Ole Army Class of '70

Yes BJ was purchased by baker. It hasn't come full circle yet but we will soon be baker Hughes pumping services. My position is the frac supervisor training program and it has been really interesting so far.

Pat, if you happen to read this, I was wanting to ask a bit more about the Frac Supervisor position you have.

I'm in Midland myself.

You guys hiring, Cowtown?

Not sure if we're hiring, but we are interviewing (does that make sense?).

What's your specialty?

so there are still oil and gas jobs out west?

Seem to be lots here in West Texas and more in the Dakotas.

Cowtown, perhaps I can e-mail you? I'm a recent grad.

If you'd like to mail me rather than posting your addy here...
