Sorry I took so long to answer. H&P drilling, out of Tulsa, Oklahoma is one company. It is one of the oldest drilling companies in the country and are hiring. Unit Drilling out of Elk City, recently took over Spradlin drilling and have expanded their base of operations recently. If you don't mind working two weeks on and two weeks off, H&P has openings in Colorado. Their having a tough time keeping hands who want to stay away from home for 2 weeks at a time. There are many more drillers who are poking holes in anything that might hold gas right now and most are hiring. You better want to work though. It's hard, wet and in the winter, bitterly cold work but it doea pay well. Hole completion bonuses in the 500 dollar range every two to three weeks. Most have good benefits. You'll earn your money though, it ain't 7/11.
Don't waste time on these oil field employment servioces that populate the internet. All they do is get you sucked into paying them most of your money. Go to the drillers and look for the work. If you don't mind being called the "worm" for a while at first, it'll pay off later.
