    We are seeing an uptick of sorts for Oct, should be a good month if we can get it all shipped. All our work is still coming from south of the border but we will take it. We do build Float Equipment if anyone is ever in need

      I gave up on the oilfield and went bact to OTR Trucking. Went 8 months with a $350 weekly check. Enough was enough
      Have heard many rumors about it starting back up and my old company is asking me to return. However, they haven't shown me anything worth returning to.
      Goodluck luck y'all

        Like mentioned above. More load placed on the shoulders of the drilling contractor. We have been operating extremely lean all year. Not only us but the major operator we are working for which announced last week a reduction in work force by 8200 employees by 2023. Both offshore and shore based.

          Cutting the slack from the oilfield it seems. Continuing trend from the past few years.

          Way too much wasted money and blown money for the job at hand.

          My OG stocks been on the climb. I am hearing from buddies the industry is slowing coming back and will come back before expected

            Hate to read that Fred. Hope your wife can bounce back soon, praying for y’all.

            There is a slow upward trend happening in the eagle ford. Had averaged good meetings this week. One customer is bringing on two drilling rigs and 1 more work over. Another is picking up 3-4 more work overs and 2-3 drilling rigs. Hoping this continues across the board.

              More conversations happening lately at least, people are doing their best to try and plan which hasn't been happening the past few months.

              We have seen a very slight uptick in work but not enough to bring anyone back, we are down to mostly bare bones in the US facility as of a few months ago.

              Happy to be finished with furloughs though, working full time again and being in the office is at least some form of normal.

              Hang on guys, things will get better eventually.

                We are looking to add inventory and slowly hiring again. We have grabbed some unexpected work as well as some that was expected to come back

                  Our fiscal year ends at the end of this month... worst year in the history of my company, BUT the Lord brought us through enough we have survived and without having to furlough anyone. Praise God! We too have seen a small uptick in orders for small test units as well as some rentals and repairs on older units... We thank God for every order and for every customer!

                      Well done Charlie!

                      I have survived, I’m down to 16 of which I have work for about 5 but I can maintain that for a while so that I have a quality team to come back with.

                        Hate to hear that. My wife went through the same thing with APC/Oxy recently, but had been planning for it and had done quite a bit of job searching/interviewing. She started her new job Monday at Newpark in The Woodlands, in the same line of work (EA). I'll ask her if she has any leads and can PM ya if she does.

                          Picked up a new customer a month or so ago doing a lot of work in Mexico. Other customers have been sending me a decent bit of work, I brought back the guy this week that I had laid off a few months ago. Sure hope I can keep him busy....

                                We just lost our contract with Shell. Couldn't compete with other workboat companies who under bid our dayrate pretty substantially (edison chouest). We go off charter mid November. Hope to pick up work soon.
