So which is best for oil field work
Fort Mc Murray, Calgary or Edmonton
Can any one tell me what theses camps are
Is it cheap accommodation that you rent, or free accommodation for those working in the oil fields, or some wear you park you caravan/camper bus
From what I understand, lodging and food are free with most companies. You generally stay in a portable building and camp kitchen suppliers provide the food. They often fly you out of the area to Edmonton or Calgary or whatever once in a while so you can get some contact with the outside world. Anyone who I have talked to who works in the camps make a TON of cash, and talk about retiring when they are, like, 35.
I do hear, however, that this summer they are expecting a BIG slowdown in the oil industry. It appears that the oil companies are tired of being gouged by high prices and, so, are going to attempt to bring prices down with a slowdown, so jobs might not be as plentiful as they have been.
As far as lab testing and technician work...I do believe there is TONS of that..related to the oil industry, mind you...or related to farming.
