Hello all let me start out saying i am kinda new to this computer deal so bare with me. My name is Austin Duncan call me Tubby. I am from pawnee oklahoma. I was wondering if you all could help me find work for me and my rig. I have been doing oilfield work for the last 3 years, for small drilling compaines. My problem is i haven't been in it long enough to know the "right" people to talk to about a job. So any help woulp be greatly appreciated!! I dont think im quite pipeline material yet just so yall know, I have welded miles of pipe but not on that level.

Thanks again!
Tubby

I have a friend who is getting ready to go to Oklahoma City to go work in a rig yard there. Don't know who the company is for sure, maybe Falcon, can't remember for sure.  You could ask some of the welding suppliers over there to find out.  Said you brought home around 4-4500/wk. You supply everything.

Falcon is only hiring shop hands. Cactus Drilling is hiring experienced all around welders ( you may need to make up and install fittings on the rig as well as weld) Other than that I haven't heard of anyone hiring anyone here-- Richard Green is the weld boss for Cactus. Rumor has it they are looking to put up 10 rigs in 14 weeks (don't quote me). Pay is $50-55 an hour you supply all.

I try to keep tabs on them all.

You are correct. But a $20K paycheck doesn't sound bad to me.

Keith Thompson owns Kat Industries. He contracts the welders.. Just leave a message with Cactus Drilling for Keith to contact you, thats if you don't want to drive to the yard.. Cactus Drilling is located NW 6th and Morgan Road here in OKC. 405-577-5347
