Is there anyone from Baily prowling this forum?

If there is I know of a guy that could use a job. He may be a low-time but he comes to work on time, works hard, and always gives 100% And he would love nothing more than to land a job in the oil patch, work the ground, learn from others and then apply his new found knowledge working as a pilot/well operator.

I'm going out on a limb here, but is that wonderful 'employee to be'....You?

 

[Puddle Jumper]

Absolutely

heard they were going through guys alot.I heard they lost every cheif engineer in a matter of months also..Kinda like the Green Team was like..
A long term employee was a guy who took his lunch....

ok, before the thread gets highjacked any further, i wasn't looking for any trash on them, I was looking to see if any of them were online here...

I've got a question or two to ask....

I've never heard a bad thing about them, the owner is a great guy and a good friend.

What exactly does a pilot/well operator do? Anyone? <_<

Hey chevy:
I did a couple years as a pilot operator. Basically you are doing the job of two, instead of just being a pilot flying a gas plant/gas well /oilwell operator around you usually go out by yourself and look after the remote wells and or gas plants taking readings off gauges, changing flow charts, topping up fluid levells, doing oil changes on compressors, freeing up plugged or frozen lines with pressure and or chemicals, doing some trouble shooting, restarting plants when they go down, cleaning pipe lines with pigs, sending data, slinging in chemical barrels, fuel drums, engine parts, pipe.
Sometimes you will fly in engineers or mechanics to do the work that you can't .
If you get in a busy area you can get alot of flight hours in and you usually get paid for both jobs

Thx for the reply...sounds like all the same stuff I did when I worked in Alberta's "patch"...only difference being, I had to drive "the truck" :blink:
Would probably be a whole lot more interesting from a helicopter. What's their machine of choice?

 

[Puddle Jumper]

Normally R44 is the prefered machine. Only problem is I don't have 44 time or oil well expeience.....but I can always dream!
