Who works for a natural gas company in DFW??? When i graduate college i am planning to pursue a career in natural gas. Natural gas is going to explode in the North Texas area, no pun attended, and i want to be part of it. I am curious if they are any board members here that work for a natural gas company.
If so shoot me a PM because i have many questions to ask.

It already has exploded and died off at the same time. The drilling companies can't afford to lease the mineral rights when there is recession going on and banks aren't lending like they were before the markets crashed!
I have natural gas but probably not the kind you want to work with.

I was trying to get into natural gas as a welder and it's hard enough for the people with plenty of experience to get jobs doing it. It's dead right now, but hopefully after the recession it will come back alive.

Chesapeak cut back because they are having finacial problems due to paying whatever it took to get leases driving the costs up for everyone. Then they buy the Pier 1 building further tying up money. In other words, they bit off more than they could chew.
XTO is still going strong, but the NG industry in this area has already boomed. The new big area is in the W. VA, PA area.

Well i realize that the economy is down. However, in a few years i believe that natural gas will take off with a new demanded infrastructure.
I appreciate the replies.

even with a bacholers or a masters, you still need experiance in whatever you want to do. That is what ALL of these companies will tell you, just letting you know. If you get into this field right now, the places that you will probobly be expected to go is as far as alaska and canada, or even gulf coast. I do agree that when oil prices go back up our oil and gasfield jobs will be just as demanding as they were 2 years ago. Right now, there is no boom, just KABOOM!

Nothong is wrong with Chesapeake or Devon or XTO right now. its just that natural gas is going for 4.19 MMBTU right now, at the capacity these companies run they can't make any money on anything below atleast 5.50 some 6.10. So they drop rigs and stop spending money on unimportant things. Less rigs running less costs. This summer should bring prices up but itll be a while before it was anything like it was. Ive been in the industry for 9 years My Dad does it and his dad did it

You can also look into La. area they are doing good with a Shale out there and in Arkansas there is a pretty good Shale. But like everyone has said with this recession everyone is cutting back. My company is contracted by EOG and we a fraccin good and strong just nothing like we were back last summer. We are only fraccing so many zones and then coming back at a later time to actually complete the well since demand is down right now.

I hotshot pipe and tools from a rental company and we have slowed down to a CRAWL in the East Tx, Southeast OK, and Northwest LA area. Getting word it SHOULD pick back up around April or May, but thats just normal hearsay.
BTW, what is fraccin? I rarely ever get to ask any questions when Im on a rig because most of the company men I deal with are DICKS!

Hopefully this summer it comes back up if not I may be on the unemployment lines. Dude right now isn't the time to be looking for a job in a industry that is laying off people like crazy. Last year I made more money than I knew what to do with this year I think I will only make enough money to keep my bills paid. I wish you all the luck but until this recession eases up it's going to be tough.
