We never stop drilling for oil. Family is in Michigan, I work this year from the 16th to the 31st. Waiting on a call out from a drilling rig to run ultrasonic or acoustic cement bond logs depending on what they decide.
When you are sitting around your table with family and/or friends, take a moment to think about all the people out there that make life possible by keeping industries going 24/7/365. Producing oil, power, plowing the roads, etc.
You will no doubt be eating food cooked by energy that was produced by people like me and my colleagues.
