Whether you are a ten-year hand working an exploratory field or a new hire working in the grand old Permian Basin, locating strong oil and gas service providers of whom you can trust is a major challenge. There is nothing more frustrating as a drilling engineer (completions or production) when you realize not only do you not know who to contact but neither do your co-workers.
Locating oilfield services for my first operations in the oil and gas industry was about as modern as the last Cub’s World Series, and not to mention eye opening. Not only did I not know where to find oilfield services or whom to turn to, but "the good ol boy" reference was all I had to go off of. I quickly realized there has to be a better way to find services out there, only to find out no such thing existed…well there was a directory, a flipping yellow pages pretty much…only it was 2007 and this group didn’t even know of that.
Fast forward four or so years and my boss is telling me I have to get this directory, it is just so important for operating in certain areas, ok…it did help but really, a directory was all that was out there.
