I think it’s kinda stupid because we can’t NOT frac.. I mean, unless you want the entire world to starve to death, we gotta frac.
Fracking is WAYYYY down since COVID hit..
https://www.aogr.com/web-exclusives/us-frac-spread-count/2020We went from over 350 frac crews running to 45 this year due to COVID!!!
Back up to about 130 right now but their were 370 this time last year running..
Fracking is damn good jobs if your tough enough to handle it.. While I was fracking my average full pull weeks paid me 112 hours PER WEEK standard IF I didn’t end up on the clock any extra time for any reason.. I’ve gotten 40 hours in 2 days more than a couple times..
Overtime before lunch on Wednesday.. (week starts Monday)
Damn I miss it.. Will make ya feel like a hero at times.. A lot of fun and very personally fulfilling work..
Money is pretty good too..
Difficult getting a frac job right now last I tried..
All this talk about minorities/blacks not having the same opportunity, white privilege nonsense..
Bring fracking back and they have all the opportunity in the world, if they can hack it..
Have fracked with plenty of blacks and all sorts of races, they can do it, don’t need no college degree, just common sense and work ethic..
Women too..
Blender tender here.. Basically the heart feeding the fleet, mixing all pumping fluids with my 2,400 hp of pumps usually running about 4,000 gallons per minute @80-100psi, feeding the 35,000hp worth of high pressure pumps that boost it up to 10,000-13,000 psi and down the hole it goes..
Things happened by my hand and when problems happen many many times it was my job to save the day.. Especially running experimental crap when ya never know what it’s gonna do..
You ever hear/feel 30,000 horse power blasting? Omg.. Love it..
Job interviews.. Plumbing experience? Lol yeah a bit.. Pressure testing? Only up to 15k.. Can you work overtime? Yeah, I think so.. So you can work 60 hours a week? Lolwut?
Makes most anything else almost seem like a joke once you’ve done something like that..
