Thank you for sharing your advice bro❤

Bro iv applied and called several places but when you bring up no experience it's like ot scares then away I'm willing to do the work I want too iv wanted too for a while and I'm willing to learn even if I have to travel that ain't am issue for me im 18 I ain't got anything going for me rn yk 😂

Thank you for your information and honestly. It is much appreciated

Ive been thinking of a career change for a few years. Im a licensed aircraft mechanic but ive been away from that industry for over 10 years since a on job injury. Im 46. Is it too late? Im currently working in the school system

What’s anyone’s take on a 30 yr old joining? I’m single with a child however hold a good co parenting relationship. I’m about done with automotive industry and I’m at the point where I’ll continue sacrificing myself for more money. Just want better stability for my family during this economy

Getting ready to try and be a floorhand now done alot of construction and such and my whole family is worried about me but im doing it anyways

Do any companies give you the option between day and night shifts?

What company you with? I haven't heard floor hand before. We call them ground hands.

How much do you make as a floor man newbie ?????

i flunked in highschool i stopped going ive always just wanted to work hard and earn my money and im really thinking this might be a good opportunity for me im just hoping i can get in without a diploma this sounds perfect for me o my goodness

do you have to be an US citizen :?

Love how you presented this information Thank you JP

Thank you so much for this video, very informative.

Good for you little man…..one month and you are trying to tell people what to do lol

You need to stop talking about shit You don’t know anything about…….shut up!!!!!!!!!

You are kinda setting people up for failure…..a floorhand is a roughneck and they will be making connections and have a lot of responsibility. You are talking about being a leasehand. It’s a totally different job buddy

I think that you’re talking about being a lease hand

I have an interview today for a floor hand. I’ve been in oil and gas for almost 2 years now for frac sand but the floor hand is more money

I worked 15 years on the rigs all the way up to driller. I still show this video to people who ask me about starting on the rigs. You won me over instantly when you talked about not being lazy, lol it really is a huge thing. not only cause you’re being lazy, but because you’re earning your crews respect and thats what really matters. If your crew doesnt like you then your days are numbered

Ducking amazing video man

I wuz wiccha till u said 1 mo

I can't tell you how much I wish I had done this in my 20's. I'm 41 now, too old. Young men, there is plenty of time for dreams in your mid to late 30's. Get that paper before you get old.

Lets get an update my man!

Long story short, in my experience. Workin floors a clean floor is a good floor. Collar clamps and wedding bands stay in the same area out the way with easy access. Keep your mud bucket and catch can close by during trips. Never be scared to learn. Follow the motor man when shit goes wrong. Go to the mud house and learn how to get a mud check. Best advice I can give is ask questions if you don’t know. No matter how stupid you think it could be. If it don’t look right it might not be right. And don’t EVER stand there and watch somebody work. Jump in and get hands on. Show them guys you wanna get in there and learn. Always have a good attitude and you’ll be good. It’s good money and them days off are glorious. Been doin it 2 years now just got moved to derricks. Gotta love getting high. Fftp. Be safe men

Trying to stab a joint when the metal floor was slippery was the most difficult part for me. Otherwise it was long hard work for good pay.

I work with a third-party casing delivery company called Tenaris. I belong to a great group called Run Ready. We respond to rigs to deliver casing that’s pre-doped, pre-washed, laser measured at the mill and we use QR codes and URCs on the pipe to create tallies. We respond to all kinds of rigs. Chevron, Blackbrush, Lewis, Pioneer and deal with all types of company men, rig conditions, and regulations. The point is that there are sooooo many ways to join the oil fields without working on a rig floor. Just ensure you do your job to completion and to perfection. Any little small mistake can turn into a HUGE issue. Have integrity. Have confidence. Watch, look, and listen at all times to ensure safety and look out for your fellow man. I am one of only two females on my team but I have never faced any issues from the men I work along side with. Good luck to everyone getting into this line of work!

Great advice, thanks for taking time to share! super useful!

How much do they pay?

The oilfield has completely dumbed down the whole industry. Things are so much easier than they used to be. They aren’t Roughnecks anymore. They’re Smoothnecks.

This is EXACTLY what I wanted to hear and expected. Im also from Colorado, single and 23 years old. I plan on working a rig for only a couple of months to put money into school. This videos has me beyond motivated, super excited.

How is a LEASEHAND different from a FLOORHAND?

47 years on the rig every day. Spent last 10 years running fishing and speacialty tools and made lots of money form bone head young guys. Tthre rig hand titles: Them that is, Them that was and them tha wanna be!!!!!!

Hey Hand! I broke out in 1968, and not on 1 of those Billshit rigs. But I have worked on and pushed both. The guys I was working for worked on wooden and steel pemanet hoisting structures. They had I t 3 or 4 time Rafferty than I did. You kids now adays should just move back in with your folks and smoke smoke dope while playing video games. You have safetied the patch out so much that production and time to market are at a standstill. I worked Derrick my second day. You are full of it.

How much can you generally make as a floorhand?

do you get paid 1.5x for overtime?

No roustabout on your rigs... Positive Attitude is a must, leave the B.S. at home..this is going to be your family they need to know you got their back as they have yours. You should have what we call Thick Skin. Their will be a lot of jokes with the fellas. Stay Safe. "Dirty Hands Clean Money,"

its been over a year come back man

Pattersons UTI

Green hard hat “WORM” H2S is a gas 10k parts one breath and your gone!!

I'm in colorado myself which oil rig would you recommend going to

H2S isn’t something you really come across. It can be harmful but it’s really the last thing most people actually worry about. There’s much worse stuff in the refineries and Chem plants. I’d be much more worried about phosgene or HF

WHEN SOMEONE GRABS SOMETHING MAKE DAMN SURE YOU GRAB IT TOO. Don't stand around with you're thumb up you're ass. You can always tell who is going to make a hand it's it's never the guy who just stands there with that stupid look on his face. As you reflect on how much money you are making always remember some one else is carrying you while you learn.

Man fuck being a floor hand these boys wanna work on a rig but that shit intense manual labor up n down long ass stairs for stupid shit tripping pipe laying down bha man fuck this lol

I don't have my cdl anymore so this is now my option at 46.I already work outside with airplanes but lay offs are coming.

So you worked one hitch? 😂

My dad has been working in the oilfield the majority of his life. Funny enough his name is Marcos. My current job is shit. I want to work in the oilfield and make a lot of money and put that money into savings and once I have enough, get out and put the money towards what I really wanna do which is acting.

It's a brotherhood.... We're all away from our families n friends we want to make it a good time but when it's crunch time let's work...

I think you did well, but I was confused… you didn’t spend very much time doing it? Would you want to hear this from a guy that still does it. That has a little more knowledge and success in the field. Why would you make the vid. Again not saying it’s a bad video just wondering your thought process.

Hey man im 21 from ohio and im looking to work as a roustabout on a kelly rig or in general. Anyone who would help me out or point me to someone who can would be appreciated. Im trying to get into murfin drilling co.

I did overnights for just 5 days in Wyoming in the wind and snow like 5 or 6 years ago. Fuuuuck that. I left, good luck😅
