I've been able to stay pretty well staffed for such a small area. If you try to find something LTR down here try and avoid those wanting the Houma lifestyle. Husband works offshore and is only around half the time, they've popped out a kid, working a menial job, and go to Destin once a year. That is winning at life for some around here.

Good place to raise a family but not exactly the place I'd choose if I were single. I don't think it deserves the amount of hate it gets tho.

There's some okay duck hunting, but you've got to have access to property. I don't think I could work for SLB. I know people that moved over from there and they hated dealing with them. I think SLB is getting their butts kicked in completions as well and are downsizing in the area.


Yea I am use to SWLA and buddies with good areas so I am spoiled in that way.

I thought SLB was sort of top of the line as far as completions go?

I never understood the hate the east side of houma gets here. Lived here all my life and never really ran into trouble makers. The neighborhood by the Oaklawn/annunziata church area is far from being a shite hole. I mean it's not like the rich neighborhoods on the west side but the east side being horrible is greatly exaggerated imo. As long as you stay away from East Street and the connecting areas to East Street like senator circle and what not then you're totally fine on the east side.

OP you just need to keep in mind this is a stepping stone. It ain't (or it might be) your last stop. Might be if you meet some dark haired dark eyed smoke show and fall in love. (They're down there, I had a shite load of them
In my class). Otherwise it's just an address on your resume. There are worse spots. How'd you like to be stationed in Venice or Braithwaite?

SLB has a majority of the market overall in the world. I believe both Halliburton and Baker are beating them out in completions in the gulf.

Completions is a good field to get in though. It used to be an afterthought to D&E. But it's becoming more complex and increasing productivity so companies are dumping a lot of money in it.
