    The land side is dead right now. Very hard to acquire stuff right now, everyone remembers the inflated offers from some of these private equity groups pre Chinese virus.

      I am at the house enjoying some days off. Still working the wind energy gig and calling everyone I know in the patch on a bi-weekly basis. I cannot wait to get back on a rig and back on some type of schedule.

        if the shutdown drama fades away there will be momentum going into Q4. Oil drilled then will not be online for quite some time and the financiers will want to get a piece of the action. The consolidation will continue and the number of players will decrease for sure.

          That’s honestly the scariest part about all of this - when will this shutdown drama go away?

          I come from an oilfield family, and went straight into my current job straight out of college 7 years ago, I’ve never seen anything quite like this, even when I was a child and dad was at home on the couch from being laid off from Halliburton. This seems to be a once in a lifetime type of bust.

                Correct. Was talking to pops the other day about all this, in his 37 years with big red, he hasn’t seen anything quite like this.

                It’ll all roll over one day, but from our conversation, this one is just strange to navigate.

                Hope y’all are doing well out in New Waverly!

                  I’m not seeing this Q4 bump folks keep bringing up here. Not sure if that’s just a dream for some or where that info is coming from ??? Sure looks like we’ll into 2021 before we see any substantial recovery if current political/worldwide positions stay stable (stable as can be).

                    momentum has already started just in the sense that the rig count is somewhat flattened off. There will be increased rigs for some operators but still flat or down for others. I do think the rig count will start to head up. We can only hope for the best.

                      I can tell you this.. The float equipment side of things is dead.. I def made the right decision going to lineman school. 4 weeks left and hopefully I can get a job quick after graduation.

                        That's a tough market for sure, sorry to hear about the tough times. Best of luck in your new ventures.

                          Was a great market for years. Gave a lot to me and my family. But sometimes you just need to move on. Not sure what my dad is going to do yet but he will figure it out.

                            Hang in there, boys. I know it is rougher than a cob on everyone right now. Hopefully we will pick up soon on the WO side of things. All my fingers AND all my toes are crossed...

                              Y’all may think it’s crazy, but....

                              Some friends and I decided it’s perfect time to start a Tool Company!!

                              We can pick up equipment fairly cheap, and we all had relationships with small operators who are still producing their legacy assets. We can really focus on building trust and integrity and slowly prove who we are on a very intimate level with little overhead costs.... we all got tired of being in the rat race working for big companies and decided it’s best to work for yourself!!

                              Shoot me a message if anyone is in need of Downhole (workover or completion) tools as well as artificial lift!

                                I think just about all were seeing is lease drilling. In the Permian anyway. A little discount drilling will definitely be in the works for folks actually sitting on cash is is very few.
