Where Did All the Oil Drilling and Well Service Equipment Go?
Summary:
Exploring the most valuable asset in the oil field: people.Article:
Over the past few years, the well drilling and servicing industry has experienced significant prosperity. However, its history of extreme cyclical fluctuations often deterred capital investments. Investing in expensive equipment only to see it idle and gather dust in a field isn’t appealing.
With the recent rise in oil prices, demand for drilling has surged, bringing back major players in the industry. But while equipment can easily return to the forefront, what about the skilled workforce?
In the late '70s and early '80s, many who thrived in the oil sector saw their fortunes dwindle over the following decades. Skilled individuals often transitioned to more lucrative fields. Family-owned oil businesses struggled during these years of low prices. It's interesting to note that political outrage seems more vocal now than back then. Those who persevered and invested during tough times are now reaping their rewards. Punishing them for their risk-taking spirit seems unfair.
With the current boom, it's not the equipment that's scarce, but the skilled labor force. People drive progress. Many skilled workers hesitated to re-enter the oil industry, wary of another downturn, resulting in a shortage of experienced professionals across America. Ultimately, human capital is more critical than any piece of modern equipment in the oil fields.
