oil rigs
 

Anyone here working on them,and no if they might be hiring.The foresrty industry is going down the tube,even engineered lumber is cutting out 100 days of production next year.I- level weyerheauser is losing 2million dollars a day.

The drilling numbers are going to be in the tank for 2008. CAODC is only forecasting a average 34% rig utilization in 2008 with only 50% turning to the right during the winter season.

Most of the majors in town have hiring freezes on and I am already starting to see lay-offs.

We can thank low gas prices and the awesome Stelmach government for killing the industry.

We will need to ride this storm for a couple of years as far as I can see. What we need is a cold as hell winter in the eastern states and a bunch of bad hurricanes next summer and I hope that by 2009 we should be moving again.

Here is a link to the CADOC forecast for reference : http://www.caodc.ca/PDF/Forecast-Oct07.pdf

Thats a cool link....its really slow for this time of year.

Yah, thanx for the link.

all the rig companies are out of alberta though.... and it depends on how much experience you have and which company you are trying to get on with... i was working for one of the really big companies and you couldnt get out.... and i was with this company for 2 yrs...... now im working for a smaller company and have been busy since the day i got hired..... it all depends..............
