My company has asked....TOLD me I have to head to Williston for 3 months then do rotating shifts of 2/2 on a rig out there.

Housing is provided.

Are any OTers currently there or have first hand experience of what to expect?

The company I work for just set up an office in ND for this reason. I've heard the pay is great but the life sucks. I've heard lots of booze to get you thru it.

Wow. From what I've read, that's huge. The article said rent prices are really high in those oil towns. Supposedly the towns are full of thugs, though.

My brother lives there and said the $$ is good but the cold sucks. As they say, enjoy the suck!

The pay is much higher than here in the Eagle Ford as well so that's a plus.

What company are you with? He was with Tervita but is now with Blackhawk

Not experience with oil work, but i was in Minot (flood related) all last year and am flying back in two weeks. It can be pretty boring, but you are about to experience the best summer weather of your life. Blackjack tables in every bar if thats your sort of thing. Food sucks, but the people (locals) are really nice. Provided housing is a huge plus. I think my 2/br apartment is somewhere around $2700/Month. Luckly mine is covered by my company as well. Speaking only of Minot though, never been to Williston which is about an hour away I believe.
