if you enjoy hardwork then roughnecking is the right job for you, I enjoy the people I work with and have learned so much in the 2 years that I have been in the oilfield, I previously worked in retail and was management and just thought that I understood what it meant to work hard on a daily basis. Well I was wrong, but in the 2 years I have kept an open mind and remained positive to ensure that I continue to better myself and learn as much as possible. This has always made it easier to continue to learn because the people see that I am open to learn and they like to teach me new things.

Norton energy is a great place to get your foot in the door for the oilfield (drilling side) safety is number 1 , the bond you get with your coworkers is awesome just don’t  be lazy and you shouldn’t have a problem with your crew and make a hand! Always help out!  Could up the per diem though! Home every night (on certain rigs) there is definitely room to advance up

It was a really good job starting in the oil field industry. It’s a little rough in the beginning because it’s like learn on the go, but when it’s slow drilling there is a lot that can be learned.

I m still currently working here..even though the oil per barrels low the owner manages to keep us working! However the long hours plus the cutthroat management an backbreaking labor will eat at your life...pay is good though

Hard work! When you’re scheduled to work you have to work but you get a great home/work schedule. Most of the time you work 7 days and get off 7 days. Great money for only working half the year 

Could not ask for days off  Or pay for driving to work . Over 2 hrs away sometimes . We couldn’t train employees the way they needed . Also bullied in to treating new hires differently to get them to quit . Humbling to work there .

Must live near Levelland. First 27 hours of overtime are regular pay, structure is unorganized, daily safety violations. Favoritism from office to the rig floor. Emergency Employment is recommended 

Everybody has a positive attitude and is fun to be around. Rig always looks clean. Very easy to learn and move forward, do to the people and the schedule there.
