We're potentially looking for someone for a BD/reservoir type roll but the job would be in Midland. Small, lean operator currently running 2-3 rigs.

I appreciate all of the responses!

Sims - Unfortunately I am very far from that part of the business.

Comeby - I am in a stable position at a stable operator, so I am in no rush to leave. While I am waiting for the right opportunity, I am also trying to be proactive in my search.

Westicles - sounds like a great gig, but the fam wants to stay in Houston.

We've fabbed material up to 8" thick, OD 14' (maybe a little more to stretch here but 14 is the reliable number), Length 200', Weight 150T (max capabilities, not all same vessel)

We mostly produce skidded 3 phase separators with all measurement and controls incorporated. We also do distillation columns, pig traps, slug catchers, pipe skids, header skids, insulation, internal/external coating, pwht, carbon & stainless

in-house engineering

U+R stamps, national board registered

For what it's worth, we don't stock any equipment - everything is build to order.

For those of you who have made the switch from the service side of the industry to an operator, do you have any regrets or is there anything you wish you had known before making the switch?

10000000% operator

I made the switch in 2018 and wish I had explored it 5 years earlier.

Being the owner is better than being the vendor.

It's a hard transition to make. Most operators don't hire senior service hands anymore other than for field supervision jobs in your area of expertise. But yes, 100% make the move if you can. Made mine over 20 years ago.

Anyone have insight into the Shell Woodcreek sale and leaseback? Implies layoffs or heavy consolidation of office space.

Heavy consolidation is what is being shared, and I think it makes sense. The campus is dead most of the time

it's a consolidation, although this is more possible due to post covid ways of working and non-stop internal reorganizations/downsizing. plan seems to be to occupy/lease back two of the buildings and market the rest

Federal government actively competing with private American companies by creating a majority state owned oil company. Federal government owning the commanding heights of the economy. Marxism.

Smells like national security. Good Trump.
The left cannot kill the Spirit of Charlie Kirk.

wow - will this work!!?


The U.S. plans to use its newfound assertion of control over billions of barrels of Venezuelan crude oil to refill the nation's depleted emergency reserve, President Donald Trump said Aug. 30.

"One of the things I am going to do with the Venezuelan Oil is fill up the Strategic National Reserves," Trump said in a Truth Social post, in which he blamed Joe Biden, his predecessor as president, for emptying the reserve.

"The 'topping out' process will begin very shortly, and is a Gift from Venezuela to the People of the United States," Trump said.
