Rig at the 13 mile corner, North of Williston, ND
This is why we are here. Living in a tiny old house in Ray, North Dakota. We moved here from upstate South Carolina in August 2008. We drove straight up (32 hours) three days after our wedding. There were no good jobs in South Carolina and we had heard that it was starting to pick up in North Dakota. Sammy had been doing construction for 10 years and had no work. In less than a week, he had a job as a worm on a Nabors drilling rig. He walked in and was hired on the spot with no experience. After a month he realized that there were other jobs that had more potential. That's when he got into Wireline. It slowed down and people started getting laid off. It was slow for about eight months and he got laid off in the seventh month but got a job within the month with another Wireline company. He ended up working his way up from Operator to Engineer and just in the past two months was hired as a Completions Consulant with Decca Consulting who contracts through Hess. I'm pretty proud of him! ;)
