so being from Alberta Canada i have spent most of my working life in the oil fields. and on the fence about trying to see if i can get a job state side lets face it women are hotter and i wont have to deal with snow for 8 months of the year thinking mainly Texas any one one on here make that change that has any recommendations? or any one have any recommendations or advice?

 

Texas.

 

I spent a weekend in Texas in February. There was nothing better than getting on the plane in -15c cold and getting off in 25c heat. That pretty much made the decision for me. Plus all of the people I met were great. Everything and everyone was so much more laid back. Plus, walking into a gas station and picking up a case of beer for a fraction of the price it is here kicks ***.

 

Are you wanting to stay in the oil industry? If not check into Arizona. I am born and raised in Alaska (also oil industry) but have had family in AZ for years and love that state. If I was to ever move to a warmer climate I would be looking around there.

 

The gas is cheaper women are hotter beer is cheaper (not much of a drinker)can get a nice house cheaper then a crack house appartment ... What are the wages like? And I won't be going till next summer at earliest ( that's when my contract is up) I work thru a division of enerflex soi

 

Carolinas, are nice

 

Warm is nice but 100+ for 3-4 weeks at a time with no percipitation at all is a little ridiculous. I'd say as far as oilfield work goes, my part of Texas has a lot going on and from what I know of everyone that works in the oil field here (family members too) the pay seems pretty decent for sure depending on what part of it you're in on.

 

whats your preference...what do you do

 

My profession is as a field operator I have 2 years in gas plants one year light oil and 2 years in water injection I also have my college diploma as a 4th class power engineer. I would like to get back into light oil I enjoy it the most but I will go back to plants to get my foot in the door to get down there

 

If you own your place in Leduc, or at least a bit of it, you could be a baller on a budget in Tejas. Cool truck scene too. However, you are a treasonous deserter. I shall pray for your evil soul.
