Early morning has arrived at Oil Rig 23 located in Stanley, North Dakota. The morning shift reported at 5:30 A.M. to start their day.Son-in-law Justin has taken a job with a company called Bronco Drilling. His first assignment is on rig 23...
In the words of his wife," He is a floor hand, which is a grunt that helps where needed.
Stanley, North Dakota, is about 45 miles West of Minot, and has become a very active area for oil drilling developments since 2007. They are presently hiring new recruits to fill the vacancies.Tuesday, he was scrubbing buildings, helping rebuild motors, and working chains.He works 7 days on and 7 days off. Justin stays at a catered camp with everything being provided for free."
The work day ended at 6:00 P.M. and a new perspective of the oil derrick was visualized as the shadows at the other end of the day were starting to get long... :)

I'm running across this blog a little late, but a bit new in this area myself and finding it a fascinating excerpt in the story of America and its people. These jobs are a great thing, if you can do it. I hope Justin is doing well.
Bakken Residence Suites - Yes, the post is a bit dated. Thank you for stopping by. Justin has since moved on from the Oil fields. Health issues didn't allow him to continue the strenuous activity...
