Pros

Okay to gain experience out of college

Cons

The pay structure has been decreased during the industry down turn so much that it makes working 84 hours a week completely worthless. The companies motto is that yeah you might make 60k in your first year at dwl but you will sacrifice your entire life in order to do so. There have been times where I have worked 2, 3, even 4 weeks in a row with 0 days off and the very day I get off I get a call from management telling.... not asking... me to work on another rig. 3 years in the company will get you nothing but heartache. There is no ladder that you can climb only false hopes. Once you make it to geosteering you have maxed out your opportunity here. If you have loved ones you like seeing don't even consider this job.

Pros

It was a job. They have health insurance, 401k, and a $25,000 life insurance policy if you die on the job. You gain experience working as a mudlogger. Good people overall in the group. They don't live in the logging units. Instead you either live on location or in a motel. They pay 40 hours a week plus 44 hours per week as overtime (1.5 times the regular pay).

Cons

Old, shop built equipment. They do have 8800 and 8900, as well as SRI equipment. It is difficult to get and keep the equipment up and running. It is not shock mounted so when it arrives to the job site it may or may not be working. Techs always blame field people for the broken stuff and resent coming out. Most of the time the equipment and instruments show signs of suckling mud on the last job assignment. It's obvious it was not repaired or properly checked in the shop. They just power it up and if the light comes on they don't look any further. A lot of people think $12 to $20 an hour is good pay, but if you have a degree that isn't very good pay. A lot of their loggers never obtained a degree. It is hit and miss with coworkers, especially those that don't have a geology degree, which does not do much for their accuracy of their logs and knowledge. Their managers work 7 days a week and they run the field supervisors around until they are exhausted and confused.

Pros

Easy wellsite job once your equipment is running well. Get paid full day rate for downtime. Good management, they are always available and willing to help those seeking assistance. Good living conditions, you are on site with a trailer provided by the operator, not bunking in a logging unit.

Cons

Long hitches without a rotation or known time off.

Thank you for the feedback. Rotation on land is a challenge. I appreciate your suggestion about floaters.
