Lots of drilling going around the east texas area. Kilgore is full of oil field stuff still, and as I said, lots of activity going on in the area, as well as around the Shreveport LA. I hot shot in the area to rigs/companies daily.

I will be a Petroleum Geologist official after this May. looking in the 64k first year. After ~1.3years looking around double.


Not sure if I want to take it though. I need to talk to some other people and friends.

I did a co-op for Sperry Sun in Houston. That sounds like a pretty good offer, what locations would they be sending you to?

Will start asap for you, I remember you from S.A. You had a black Z at one time. I had a NBM TA. Used to be around BAMC too. What kind of work you interested in? CTS is aound your parts. They do alot of N2 and coiled tubing. Drilling is alright, None of it hard. Our saftey guy came from KBR I will ask him. He was in Iraq same time COKER and I were. His name is Shawn Kirby. He did health and enviromental. Is from Houston too.
