14 months later in Carlsbad, NM everything has changed. Everything shut down, everyone laid off. No traffic, no lines at restaurants. Man camps empty. Motels less than 1/2 price. Still Just hangin on here in Carlsbad. Another up and down cycle.

Before even watching a video, I look at the length of it. Your video was just amazing. Lots of information in less than 10 minutes. Thanks that was great 😃😊

Oilfield towns in the middle of nowhere can be expensive at times. Once spent $300 on burritos for my crew at a spot in Pecos

Those boots on the fences are from oilfield workers “hanging up the boots” either they retired or didn’t work out

I worked off shore in the 90s. The rig living quarters were made up of rooms the size of a walk in closet with six bunks to a room, 3 high on each side. You got to know your co workers really well since the showers were communal. But, they did your laundry and cooked for you and the food was usually pretty good.

Woah, dude that was an amazing video man. Keep it up bro. Also way to shout out that sensor🤣 I absolutely loved the length of it.

I had a good laugh at this. I’ll have to show my family this video so they have a good idea of what it’s like. Going on 3 years in Pecos

The part of the plant you showed towards the beginning of the video is the XTO Cowboy site. I worked on that project. Had to drive on what we called the death high Way to get there.

I used to live in Carlsbad. Worked on the oil fields too, for Madron

Born and raised Carlsbad! Been oilfield my whole life

I was suppose to be on the Permian basin but WPI relocated me to the San Juan basin in Colorado and some parts of North Dakota. I’m Natural Gas Compressor Tech. I was hoping Carlsbad bcuz I have family near there. oh well. Stay safe and cowboy up

I’m getting moved out to Malaga New Mexico on a rig out there . Never been there for work . I’ve always been in south Texas 😬 I hear the weather over there is insane ! I’m preparing to leave Monday for my hitch 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

I just got reassigned there. Looks like fun to me

Video is spot on. Never stayed in one of those Midland/NM hotels, but the Target Hospitality man camp in Mentone is top notch ; they literally have everything you need.

Well done man!

You forgot to show appreciation….that hotel breakfast you were raggin on was some serious gourmet shit, compared to what most roughnecks eat. Take it from someone who knows….

I'm a life long resident of Carlsbad and you didn't even really show Carlsbad. You never left the Southside of town. It would of been cool to see more of the city. But it is about the patch so, good job bro. Glad to have you here and working. Thank you

You definitely left out loco hills and maljamar lol. My family company Marbob started the bku unit.

spot on, brother.

Was told you hang your boots on that fence when you either retire or quit the oilfield

What you forgot to include is Hobbs, NM

Hmmm, just got hired and they told me we’ll be living on site in lil trailers out in Midland

I do water transfer, a normal day for me is 12-24 hours a day sitting in a truck watching movies and getting out 4-6 times a day for 10 minutes.

A drilling rig never gets shut down

Great vid

He called Eunice, Andrew’s 🤣🤣

Micheal it’s so bad here now in 2023 u wouldn’t believe the traffic by Walmart

Hello, I was curious how often do you see New Englanders coming down? I'm interested in working a year or two in the fields/pipe laying/ or fracking industries in order to save up as much money for college as I can. Is that something that you see people doing?

This is old but my husband and I were here for five years about three years ago in an rv park Taylor’s and now we are back in an apt. Omg it’s 114 degrees here and ugh the people hate oilfield folks lol although the apt we are seen to be all oilfield lol texas and Arkansas licenses plates mostly. The sand is horrific

PPE is required everywhere!

I'm headed out there tomorrow N2I wish me luck

how much car rental? seems like that would suck

Omg. Im starting my new job and im regretting it already lol

I'm looking to get into the field. Where to start?

forgot to tell them about the snakes LOL

Anyone know what a kony is - some type of equipment used in the oil field I think

It’s so got damned ratchet out there but you occasionally see a beautiful sight.

This sounds like absolute hell. Great video though.

I’m looking for at least 80+ hours a week. CDL A no restrictions, CPR/First aid. MSHA OSHA/CAL hazmat, etc list goes on. IM READY TO WORK. I’ll travel/commute from California by plane. I already applied to 10* companies the past 4 days.

Where can I Aply I got my CDL let me Knowles thank you

I’m a rigger out in midland Texas for Ringco y’all come apply!😂

How do you use the restroom while your out in the files buddy?

Any advice on how to get into the industry I did it in the army and I live in San Antonio Texas

Jal is about right same with pecos

Where in Carlsbad did you apply, did you need any experience?

spent many of nights in carlsbad and in shithole pecos when i fueled for frac for two years

I want an oilfield job. I'm real skinny is that ok?

Buenos días me gustaría trabajar con ustedes soy colombiano y trabajo conduciendo tractocamiones en Colombia que debo hacer para poder trabajar con ustedes gracias

Awesome video! I just applied out there for an I&E Tech position for Wood and am highly interested. Not much to do out there but it’s all about the money lol

I’m a feminine female with hvac experience. I’ve been offered a job a 1hr 45 mins out up in Pennsylvania. I’d probably have to live in these “man camps”, is it worth it?

Hi I want to job in the oilfield but with a career wich would you recommend me

Those work boots on the poles are from people who go there to retire from the oilfield. They leave their boots on that road to show that they are never coming back to this shit.

Been working out here for years. Still sucks azz as much as it did back then.

The boots are to respect those whom lost their lives retire or quit the field for the sake of their family

This dude a safety guy or some shit...

That’s not andrews it’s seminole 😐

Hello. Thank you for the very informative and entertaining video! I just have a few questions and would really appreciate you taking the time in answering them, although I totally understand that I am not entitled to your time and energy. I’m very appreciative weather or not you take the time to notice me. 1.) I’m 17 years old, soon to be 18 years old and really want to work in the oil fields as I presume they make lots of money and don’t need a lot of experience. 2.) I am willing to do hard work day and night and am fully aware of the extreme discipline I will need. 3.) I am willing to transport/live anywhere around the country if that means I get a well paying guaranteed job. 4.) so how will I acquire the job? Which state pays the most? What position pays the most? How do I meet the qualifications if any? Thank you for your time, I just need the proper guidance. Thank you a ton!

Oh lastly pray u don’t need a er visits. Also I can’t even get in Taco Bell now lol every place is full every day and night! Their is a new luxury apt complex and a lot of oilfield workers stay here it’s actually affordable and a pool etc it’s the best part of this place

Y’all get shutdown? We work in all that weather on our rigs

Buck Jackson rd.

You are right about Pecos, its totally a complete dump!

I don’t miss that shit

I use to date an oilfield man he was so handsome but he doesn’t like women anymore because he loves men who love him

All jobs are shit. Might as well work in something that pays somewhat okay for putting up with shit

Such a lie..it's not with this clown is saying
