I was told this weekend from someone fairly in-the-know in statewide oil that there are currently EIGHT operating oil rigs in Oklahoma.

Not sure what the 'normal' number is or should be.

Yep, I was let go from Baker in April. Been looking hard for work ever since. Was a Well Site Geologist, now I'll probably be unloading trucks at Wal Mart. Just think for every rig down that's a loss of around 250 direct jobs, and probably a hundred more ancillary jobs. I have a bunch of management experience and have run my own company, but all hiring folks see is an "Oily". Tough times for sure!

It was around 100 rigs in the air last year.

I heard from someone fairly in the know about the oilfield that things are coming back slow and he thinks by Oct. he will be hiring back his guys.

That's the number I heard in a meeting a couple of weeks ago.
