What division do you work in? Is it mostly land work? All layoffs I've heard of with service companies came several months back. I see more coming, but havent heard of any actually happening. This would be the first in a while.

I am busy through the end of the year, but worry about after. We just promoted someone to the group I work in, so I'm goping that means they don't see us downsizing soon. I'll run the numbers and turn the wrenches if I have to. Just want to make it through the tunnel. I have a feeling the light at the end will be very bright for those that make it through, but you just have to make it.

I worked in the South Texas district, mostly Eagleford work, in the Cementing PSL. They've had two rounds of layoffs before this one that included Engineers a few months ago. This one, the third round was the biggest. Not only did Cement Engineers get hit, but so did Frac and Completion Tools Engineers. Probably a total of 20-30 when you include all Engineering departments. Crazy..
