Throughout the history of the oilfields "Oilfield Workers" have little or no future. Nothing has changed in todays world. Only difference is they live in RV parks now instead of tents. South Texas is a great example of this. Took a trip down south of Dilley, Texas the other day to visit someone. Cotulla was the town. Not a good scene. Oil field workers living in what ever they can find. Most of the places are old RV or super dumpy buildings. These people work hard but it is difficult to find a decent place to stay. If they have family it would be impossible to bring them there. Why would you want to move a family to a place like this. Beside the oilfield comes and goes and in a year or two or less the work in this area may disappear. Then what do you go.
The message behind this is that the big oil owners and landowners with a lot of oil will walk away with 90% of the money that is produced in the area. The workers and people who do all the work will come away with very little and nothing for the future. This has been the history of the oil business in Texas for many years.
