About Us

The people behind this website either are currently or have been involved in what are considered "roughneck" jobs, and so we are fully able to appreciate both the challenges and rewards that this sort of work can offer. Many of us are continuing a long family tradition in these industries, or are just interested because of those family members.

The idea for this site came when we noticed that there weren't a lot of resources on the internet for people already in the industry, as well as people looking to get a start. We thought it would be a great idea to gather all sorts of resources together, providing a great benefit to those who don't have a lot of free time to surf the web. To us the most important things seemed to be news and articles about the industry, along with job and employer information.

We here at Roughneck Chronicles hope that the information we've gathered together is helpful to you. Although it can be difficult and often dangerous, we are all proud to be called Roughnecks!
