The Word Used to Describe the Activity in Divide County: Explosive

A huge "thank you" to a reader for sending me this link. I would have missed it. The link is likely to break soon so look at it now.
By year’s end the number of rigs drilling in Divide County is expected to more than double and 2,000 more workers will be needed.

“Divide County is just starting an explosion of drilling and jobs,” said Lynn Helms, director of the state Department of Mineral Resources.

Helms’ projects that the number of rigs working in Divide County could hit 24 sometime this year and stay at that level until 2016.

That’s more than double the 11 working rigs the county averaged in 2011, and the number of oil field workers will hit 4,000, double the number working in the county’s oil patch today.
Pretty incredible. Who wudda thought. Look for some crew camp applications. And be pro-active. Support the workers and their families.

I was recently surprised by some good TFS wells in Divide County. This could be quite exciting.
