X2. I miss Directional Drilling-been a year since my last day on a rig.
Went to the shop today for the first time in weeks for a meeting to find out exactly what day I get terminated. May 31st the paycheque stops and I'll be unemployed.
That's not a 4430^^^^ That's a 4020. A late model powershift by the looks of it.![]()

Shane, what kind of a shop do you work at?
Yesterday I was a bit unproductive... Verified some design work & survey data was below a permitted max. elevation. Today I've updated some in-house construction unit cost tracking spreadsheets. Now I'm working on a response letter to the State for a completed construction project. Kinda boring. I prefer doing design work.
What's the story on that? Lots of spray? Hung injector?made 1207 before it torched![]()

All to well.
Last time I checked there was only 38 rigs working in Canada of about 1000. Frac, Coil and Cement companies along with the services that go along with each are really suffering. Even service rig count is way down.
I got a few irons in the fire, unfortunately all involve relocating and out of the oilfield but that's what a guy has to do these days to keep afloat.

Working on some new plastic seal rings for these stainless ball valves. That's a 7/8" wrench laying there for reference.
