The Oilfield Years

The Oilfield Years

David Ferry2007
The Oilfield Years is part two of an Autobiography. Though well seasoned, a young man is forced into the oilfield at age fifteen in the late 1960's. The oilfield was a wild and hard world. It contained mostly good, decent, hard-working people. Accidents were a common staple of the oilfield in the early years and there was simply put, no stability. To make a living in the oilfield, one had to travel and change jobs a lot. You worked with a diversity of people. Cajuns, Arabs, Hondurans, Indonesians and many other nationalities make up the oilfields. Something, comical occurred often and roughnecks in general created mishaps. "The Oilfield Years" deals with work, fights, accidents, blunders and my view of that world for over twenty-five years. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed the people.
