Dad worked for Halliburton back in the 80's and 90's here in Southern Illinois. About 2 blocks south of where I live now there was also a big Dowell camp. I don't remember much about Dowell, but I know the Halliburton camp was the biggest east of the Mississippi at one time. About 10 repair bays, one pump bay, 3 wash bays, tire shop, labs, offices, breakroom and showers for all the crews that worked here. Dad worked on a cementing crew but they also ran Frac and nitrogen crews as well as had a huge warehouse across the parking lot that supplied all the other camps east with chemicals and such.Originally Posted by Orangetxguy
Just to clarify......I have never worked for Big Red. Not back in the day....not now....not ever! I worked for Dowell for 10 years.....Dowell is now Schlumberger Oilwell Services.
Anyone have any info about any drilling rigs working out there and who to contact about a job? I'd like to work on a rig as a hand. Kinda getting tired of driving a truck. Halliburton wouldn't be bad working on a cement crew, but I don't want to lay all the pipe needed for Frac either. Please let me know. I've heard jobs are paying great up there.
