This is true, I'm gonna start calling those areas in the morning if nothing closer comes up. A good hotshot can get it here I think.

I know there's got to be plenty of units sitting in those areas, they definitely don't have the work.

Yea, hopefully I'm wrong, but indicators that I've seen in the last month tell a flat to declining story for the next 12 months.

That's the EXACT reason. Go ahead and at least get your permit, that way they'll at least look at you and you can use one of their rigs to take the diving portion of the test to get the license.

There are several working fracs in N La torquing very 5 stages. Several frac crews working right now from Ruston to South of Mansfield. Good luck finding one without a crew. There was a company that moved out of E Tx 3 yrs ago. He sold the wrenches but kept the pump and test plugs for BOPs. I'll see if I can't find the whereabouts of the pump tomorrow and post again.

Without at least a permit they won't even consider you. They can understand a guy with a permit and no license because not everyone has an 18-wheeler to take the test with.

I know there's Chesapeake and Wild Horse work in N LA, there's just not as much of it as in say South or West TX.

More than that. Indigo, Covey Park, GeoSouthern, etc. I don't know if Ritchie Bros would have one in an auction. Prob wouldn't get you out of a pinch any way. Do you have an extra set of slim line wrenches or do you need them along with test pump?

I don't work for this company, I'm trying to help procure the equipment as a favor. I'm not really willing to give out the company name on here.

We have the crew, we need the unit. If we have to bite the bullet and sub out I'll keep you in mind.
