Drilling Rig!

Just wait a few more months, maybe the beginning of the year. If the Gulf ever picks back up there will be a "mass exodus" of experience from land rigs back to offshore. The timing depends on how many drilling rigs get moved back from the foreign countries, where they are currently drilling. Then the land companies will probably be more willing to hire.

The Obama administration Gulf drilling moratorium has thrown off the balance and some of the guys that worked off shore are working on land rigs or in foreign countries now.

I find it a little strange that companies are looking so hard for experience. Land drilling is booming but not just in Texas, there are land rigs all over the U.S. from Pensylvania south and almost coast to coast.
