Rock Springs WY

As part of my continuing effort to see what Halliburton is like outside of Brighton, I went to Rock Springs, Wyoming this week. They have a beautiful new facility, that's around 200,000 square feet. Quite different than the cramped quarters in Brighton.

I talked with Kyle, the local HR manager, about retention and hiring. They have recently lost the distinction of being the camp in the northern region with the highest turnover rate. Kyle said they have done some things to tweak their recruiting that has proved to be very effective. They dropped from a 50% turnover rate to about a 20% turnover rate.

He also took me out on location. It was very different from the frac jobs in Brighton and Vernal. There were service companies all over the place, and the site had dozens of different well heads. Right next to the well that we were frac'ing, another company was drilling a new well. Here are some pictures.

Just like "Black Gold!"
