@tylerallison92: So the hardest oilfield jobs are rigs and snubbing. The most TikTok’s posted at work are from rig and snubbing guys… which is a bit ironic. In Canada rigs start guys out at about $40/hr, and highest paid is about $58/hr for a driller. Then tool push or rig manager around $1200/day. Then consultant at $1500-$2500/day. There are other jobs that have a higher probability of moving into a position where you make $1200+/day. Becoming a rig manager is difficult and there aren’t many positions available. Jobs like welding, power engineering, field operator, tool hands, some specialized mechanics, wireline, frac and sales for service companies are just some of the other jobs available that may have an easier path to cracking $1000/day than rigs.

Service rigs. Hands down. Worked both drilling and service, service rig hands work harder, depending on the field and rig and type of work. But overall, service rig hands.

In Alberta, a lot of service rig companies start guys at $36.00 CAD per hour, it’s good money, but you’re going to earn it lol, hard work! Do it for a few years and you can set yourself up really good

Drilling rigs are done on that well once it's cased. Service rigs can see the wells multiple times. With most wells taking 1-10 days to drill these days, service rigs are much better job security. Fall freeze up and spring breakup are a lot less common

Rig work is no longer that hard. For every hard day there is 1 or 2 very easy days

Depends on the rig tho and what type of wells they’re drilling, doubles are the most work, doing multi lateral 11 legs we tripped almost every day, nights would drill a leg in a shift and we would trip, side tracking tho was nice but we’d trip most the shift bc of speed limits

Derrick hand and drillers post on TikTok . Roughnecking can be the hardest job in my opinion. Especially on a super single where you’re moving the rig every day or every other day. The super single I was on, our pipe tubs didn’t move the pipes. We had to take them out by hand. Our rig floor was too small for a pipe spinner so we only had spinning chain. Most of our work was from grande prairie to Fort Nelson. Shitty conditions made it harder.

I worked workovers for a while. got my class b to start moving rig from location to location, then I got smarter and upgraded to my class A. now I haul fluids to and from a lot of drilling rigs in ND and MT. I make almost twice as much and can work as much as I want and I don't have to work outside all day in the winter😎
