Information Discussion for Gate Guards

We have two rigs and a "facility." The gate guard company we're working for is GGS. Yes, we get paid more by virtue of the 2 drilling rigs. We average ~200 vehicles in a 24-hour period.


what oil company are you working for?

We have also been told that a company is underbidding GGS and paying $100.00 a day and provides a FEMA trailer. Do you know anything about this?

Let's see-hopefully they provide necessities?? It'd be a b*tch to have to drag along balnkets, pillows, towels, pots, pans, cutlery, etc. everywhere I went.

We're off of 80, too. Take 119 (towards Yorktown) to CR 360-we-re at the end of the road.

Not recording was our solution to not getting paid for extra traffic. We had a pipeline, surveyors, our rig and a water rig. No pay for extra traffic?? FINE. We only tracked our rig and support personnel.

Thanks for the information on EOG.
Our gate was brutal, but no extra pay.
If i am going to work that hard i want more money.
Guess they have changed their game plan. I also talked with another couple who had the same experience with one of EOG's gate.
At the time we were on their gate the company man was being sent to the office, and out of the field.

It was the company man that we could not please. He was always complaining about something. Are you getting paid more for 2 rigs ? We had 5 activities on the site we were on and no extra money. That was with 2 rigs too. I figure if you are on a EOG gate and you are dealing with the right people it would be ok.
But i don't want on a gate that will not pay more for all the activities going on. That is my main concern now.
I would take another EOG gate if they pay more for 2 rigs.
Just because one company man was bad, does not mean they all are that way. I just want the extra money for all the extra work. The EOG company man told me all their gates were that busy.
So the question is; are you getting more than $125.00 per day ?
