I know several people who have had wells pumping for years that are as poor as a churchmouse. Not all wells are gushing 100's or 1,000's of barrels per day.
The price of oil has helped those guys that have wells and had shut them down because the energy costs of pumping exceeded the production income.
Your buddy backholer thinks they are all doing quite well :wink: :lol:
They are doing better now than they ever have been...................
Some of these folks were dirt poor "cedar hackers". Most of them had scratched and dug all their lives. These are not "oil wells" but rather gas wells. Which only goes to show that OT didn't even read the post.
Personally, I think those folks who were labeled "fence menders" or "cedar hackers" now getting over $50K a month are enjoying poetic justice. Bankers are wanting them in their banks now. Car dealers are drooling to have them in their lots.
In the mean time we have folks coming from everywhere for jobs.
If you check Craig's list their are job opportunities everywhere. An I & C Tech can go to DC Cook for $35 an hour and $480 a week per diem. That aint half bad for blue collar labor. They can't get employees.
