Where can information be found to help a person find the classes

offering the proper certification needed to fit their desired job

position?

The first thing that a person would probably need to determine is ex-

actly which job position that they desire to work in along with which

city and state the job position are located. The reason that these

factors afactors are so vitally important is because some certifications will

vary from one city to another or from one state to another. In some

cases, some of the job positions may require the employee to travel

through multiple cities and or states in the course of their employment.

There is a wealth of information out there in magazines, internet search

engines, employment centers. The telephone book is also a good

source for leads because they often times provide a telephone

number as well as a physical addnumber as well as a physical address with which a job seeker can

either call or go in to the actual company itself and speak to some-

one directly in order to find out exactly what criteria that the company

requires must be met before they will consider hiring an applicant.

Many of these companies will usually be able to tell the person ex-

actly what certifications are necessary for which positions & which

certification programs are recommended above others. Many of the

companies also have enticompanies also have entire sections of their web sites dedicated to

bringing an applicant up to date on what requirement must be met

before they will consider hiring an applicant .

What types of positions are there in the Oil and Gas industry?

The Oil & Natural Gas industry is extremely complex. For the sake

of being brief, we will focus on three of the main phases of the industry.

“Currently, there is an enormous demand forqualified workers in the Oil & Natural Gas industry”

1) Engineering

The engineering sector of the Oil & Gas industry covers much of

the production, manufacturing, and maintenance aspects. The

engineering sector is a good career field for creative people who

like to build things or improve on existing products and or

services. Many engineers provide blue prints for modern or future

technology as well as work on developing company patents. technology as well as work on developing company patents.

2) Production

The production sector of the Oil & Gas industry mainly deals with

the processing of the oil & gas. For the most part, jobs in this

sector will often times tend to primarily revolve around physical

labor and basic construction or working on oil rigs.

3) Transportation

The transport/transportation sector deals mainly with truck drivers

& the vast array of services that they provide. This sector involves

mostly delivery & load hauling. Truck drivers are required by law

to have a valid C.D.L. license. Most companies also require all

driver’s have a clean driving record, can pass random drug screenings,

& have at least a basic level of experience hauling loads. Some truck & have at least a basic level of experience hauling loads. Some truck

drivers travel local routes, but a large percentage of them are re-

quired to haul loads using the interstate which requires them to stay

on the road a large percentage of the year.

Recently, fresh water has increasingly become more and

more scarce. Policies for water rights have since been

modified. Now, in the State of Texas the purchase of land

and water rights are considered to be separate transactions

from one another.

Along with the standard C.D.L. license (which is the minimal

license license requirement for all truck drivers in the trucking

industry), a water hauler must also be trained in a wide

section of areas when it comes to the proper handling

procedures for production water. Since the water hauler

will briefly be responsible for the production water usually

for short periods of time as they haul it from one place to

another, they are trained in preventive measures to ensure

that they athat they are knowledgeable should any problems arise.

Before the transportation of the water occurs, the

production water is first transferred from the oil well into

short-term on site holding tanks designed to store it for

short periods of time.

Tanker trucks then carry the water from those temporary

on site-holding tanks to other specially lined storage pits.

The on site holding tanks aThe on site holding tanks are lined with special material to

ensure that the production water is stored in a safe manner.

The tank keeps the water safe from heat and other elements

that might adversely effect is while it waits to be picked up

and transported.

Each truckload of water that is brought in to the facility is

measured and the measurements are all recorded to ensure

accuracaccuracy. The recording process also helps to ensure that

all of the production water is properly accounted for while

also helping to improve the efficiency of the overall process

of the transportation of the water at the same time.

The water is then reloaded back onto hauling trucks and

taken to licensed disposal centers.

These centers’ sole purpose is to ensure that the water is

treated properly and brought to an acceptable standard

of quality.

Recently, an increase in oil and gas production in West

Texas has also sparked a demand for both freshwater

as well as the need for qualified water haulers to carry it.

WWater haulers will often times work under either short term

or long term contracts. The water haulers are usually hired

directly by either an on site company hand or either a

distant corporate office responsible for overseeing much

of the day-to-day operations on the drilling site. Either way

the water hauler will still usually report directly to someone

who is actually on site where he is either delivering the

ffresh water or picking up the production water The routes

that the water haulers drive are often only short in duration.

Part of the reason for this is because most of the treatment

facilities are often times usually within only a few hundred

miles or so of where the water is gathered. For the

beginning side of the production the water hauler brings

in fresh water and takes it to the location where it can be

used in the oil and/or gas drillingused in the oil and/or gas drilling

At the end of production the water hauler simply loads the

production water onto the water hauling truck and carries

it to the processing center where it can be treated. Once

it is properly treated by the treatment center and converted

back to its original state and it can then be returned to an

oil drilling rig for reuse.
