I am a rig welder in Wyoming, Casper area if you are wondering.  Anyways I have been busy all year last year and had a great start on this year then as fast as a slap in the face it all came to an end.  I was just wondering if anyone understands what made the oil market drop? I just don't get it. Also I am oviously looking for some work I could use some leads on that too.  I prefere pipe work but at this point will do any stick welding with reasonable pay.  THANKS A BUNCH MEN!

Oil field always slows down this time of year as for the prices i dont know but i think oil producers are waiting to get a good feel of Obama before they do anything

I think Big Oil tested John Q public and figured out what our pain level was and it was not $5.00 diesel fuel. Then the car companies
went broke, banks stopped lending money to buy cars and other things. Big oil is certainly smart enough to know when they have turned
the knob far enough.
Just my Sunday afternoon 5 cents worth.
