i have multiple family members in the alberta oil patch, and the money they make for the little they do is unreal. FULL STOP.
as i said once before, no probs with profits, but when you complain about the cost of your roof, 75% of the complaints can be laid at the feet of oil company greed.

I will always defend the industry that I love dearly and unapologetically. Don’t forget we work in one of the most dangerous professions around. Ever had to deal with H2S? How about constant fire hazards? Being away from home weeks on end with out seeing those you love? It can be easy to point the finger when you don’t walk in the boots. I’m sure you’re no stranger to hard work, but us oil and gas guys bust our asses equally hard, a lot more than we sometimes get credit for. 12-16 hour days are pretty normal in most fields. We don’t get to set our prices on the oil we sell. The market does it. I’m a supervisor for a large NW New Mexico production company with 400,000+ acres of leases and future endeavors. We are told monthly what we will will be paid for bbl’s and MCF’s.
