I’m involved with a number of blogs and chat rooms on the Internet. Most
of them are drilling related, everything
from geotechnical to water wells,
directional drilling and oilfield.
Picture yourself five years ago when selling a barrel of oil would net you a steak dinner in a nice restaurant (if you brought your own wine). Fast forward and these days it seems trading oil is only resulting in macaroni and cheap beer.
At an onshore oil drilling site, it’s not uncommon to operate around the clock and throughout the year. Fueling the mobile generators that keep oil production high can be a costly business expense.
