oil rigs

[blaster]

Anyone here working on them,and no if they might be hiring.The foresrty industry is going down the tube,even engineered lumber is cutting out 100 days of production next year.I- level weyerheauser is losing 2million dollars a day.

The drilling numbers are going to be in the tank for 2008. CAODC is only forecasting a average 34% rig utilization in 2008 with only 50% turning to the right during the winter season.

Most of the majors in town have hiring freezes on and I am already starting to see lay-offs.

We can thank low gas prices and the awesome Stelmach government for killing the industry.

We will need to ride this storm for a couple of years as far as I can see. What we need is a cold as hell winter in the eastern states and a bunch of bad hurricanes next summer and I hope that by 2009 we should be moving again.

Here is a link to the CADOC forecast for reference : http://www.caodc.ca/PDF/Forecast-Oct07.pdf

all the rig companies are out of alberta though.... and it depends on how much experience you have and which company you are trying to get on with... i was working for one of the really big companies and you couldnt get out.... and i was with this company for 2 yrs...... now im working for a smaller company and have been busy since the day i got hired..... it all depends..............
