Typical Day Working an Oil Field Job | Carlsbad, New Mexico | Jan. 2020
Oil field jobs are some of the hardest, yet most lucrative jobs in the US currently. Have you ever wondered, what is it like working in the oil field? Well in this video, I show you what my typical day was like working in the oil field.
This was filmed in part of the Permian Basin near Carlsbad, New Mexico, but it also feature other cities such as Jal, NM, Orla, TX, Pecos, TX, and Andrews, TX, as well as a preview of Carlsbad Caverns National Park.

14 months later in Carlsbad, NM everything has changed. Everything shut down, everyone laid off. No traffic, no lines at restaurants. Man camps empty. Motels less than 1/2 price. Still Just hangin on here in Carlsbad. Another up and down cycle.
I used to live in Carlsbad. Worked on the oil fields too, for Madron
You definitely left out loco hills and maljamar lol. My family company Marbob started the bku unit.
Was told you hang your boots on that fence when you either retire or quit the oilfield
I don’t miss that shit
3rd grade education from a town of 100. Hick central.
Awesome video! I just applied out there for an I&E Tech position for Wood and am highly interested. Not much to do out there but it’s all about the money lol
The fence is whete people put boots when they quit the oilfield
spent many of nights in carlsbad and in shithole pecos when i fueled for frac for two years
Anyone know what a kony is – some type of equipment used in the oil field I think
Hi I want to job in the oilfield but with a career wich would you recommend me
This sounds like absolute hell. Great video though.
Oilfield towns in the middle of nowhere can be expensive at times. Once spent $300 on burritos for my crew at a spot in Pecos
Such a lie..it’s not with this clown is saying
Buenos días me gustaría trabajar con ustedes soy colombiano y trabajo conduciendo tractocamiones en Colombia que debo hacer para poder trabajar con ustedes gracias
how much car rental? seems like that would suck
I’m a life long resident of Carlsbad and you didn’t even really show Carlsbad. You never left the Southside of town. It would of been cool to see more of the city.
But it is about the patch so, good job bro. Glad to have you here and working.
Thank you
Buck Jackson rd.
Where in Carlsbad did you apply, did you need any experience?
PPE is required everywhere!
forgot to tell them about the snakes LOL
I just got reassigned there. Looks like fun to me
Woah, dude that was an amazing video man. Keep it up bro. Also way to shout out that sensor🤣 I absolutely loved the length of it.
i live right down the road east on fiesta! are you still working?
Before even watching a video, I look at the length of it. Your video was just amazing. Lots of information in less than 10 minutes. Thanks that was great 😃😊
He called Eunice, Andrew’s 🤣🤣
Been working out here for years. Still sucks azz as much as it did back then.
Those boots on the fences are from oilfield workers “hanging up the boots” either they retired or didn’t work out
spot on, brother.
It’s so got damned ratchet out there but you occasionally see a beautiful sight.
I’m a rigger out in midland Texas for Ringco y’all come apply!😂

Hello. Thank you for the very informative and entertaining video! I just have a few questions and would really appreciate you taking the time in answering them, although I totally understand that I am not entitled to your time and energy. I’m very appreciative weather or not you take the time to notice me.
1.) I’m 17 years old, soon to be 18 years old and really want to work in the oil fields as I presume they make lots of money and don’t need a lot of experience.
2.) I am willing to do hard work day and night and am fully aware of the extreme discipline I will need.
3.) I am willing to transport/live anywhere around the country if that means I get a well paying guaranteed job.
4.) so how will I acquire the job? Which state pays the most? What position pays the most? How do I meet the qualifications if any?
Thank you for your time, I just need the proper guidance. Thank you a ton!
Well done man!
Any advice on how to get into the industry I did it in the army and I live in San Antonio Texas
Those work boots on the poles are from people who go there to retire from the oilfield. They leave their boots on that road to show that they are never coming back to this shit.
You forgot to show appreciation….that hotel breakfast you were raggin on was some serious gourmet shit, compared to what most roughnecks eat. Take it from someone who knows….
A drilling rig never gets shut down
Great vid
This dude a safety guy or some shit…
Born and raised Carlsbad! Been oilfield my whole life
As an oilfield worker this video is extremely accurate, I’m actually going to share it on my FB page to show my friends and family what my life is like. One secret I’ve found in these Permian basin towns is that they have really good Italian food for some reason, like Pecos Texas for example. Also the Chinese food is good as well because they have the Chinese who settled in the area when the railroads were built.
What you forgot to include is Hobbs, NM
Video is spot on. Never stayed in one of those Midland/NM hotels, but the Target Hospitality man camp in Mentone is top notch ; they literally have everything you need.
I was suppose to be on the Permian basin but WPI relocated me to the San Juan basin in Colorado and some parts of North Dakota. I’m Natural Gas Compressor Tech. I was hoping Carlsbad bcuz I have family near there. oh well. Stay safe and cowboy up
I’m getting moved out to Malaga New Mexico on a rig out there . Never been there for work . I’ve always been in south Texas 😬 I hear the weather over there is insane ! I’m preparing to leave Monday for my hitch 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
I had a good laugh at this. I’ll have to show my family this video so they have a good idea of what it’s like. Going on 3 years in Pecos
