Activists oppose Keystone XL Pipeline through Oklahoma
The Keystone XL transcontinental oil pipeline is being built to efficiently transport oil from Canada to Texas, and it will run right through Oklahoma.
Native Oklahoman activist Stefan Warner is not happy that the pipeline will be traveling through his home state. He has been jailed multiple times for protesting pipeline operations, and he shows no signs of backing down anytime soon.
While the transport of oil into Oklahoma isn’t new, the completion of this pipeline will streamline operations and cause an increase of oil brought in from Alberta’s sands into the area.
Construction on the pipeline has been ongoing, but a permit to complete the southern leg was recently denied. Warner is hoping to help ensure that the pipeline doesn’t cross Oklahoma, and he isn’t the only one willing to put his name on the line to prevent the completion of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Many others have voiced concerns over the project, including Tom Steyer, a partner at Hellman & Friedman in San Francisco. While Stefan Warner doesn’t have a lot of political clout, Tom Steyer manages 8 billion dollars through his equity firm. He also was a major fundraising support during President Obama’s political campaigns.
TransCanada Corp, who is responsible for the Keystone XL project, disagrees with the concerns raised by activists and environmentalists. They have offered repeated assurance and commitment to making the Keystone XL pipeline one of the safest most reliable oil pipelines in the world. With billions of dollars invested to make the project a success, they have every reason to keep it that way.
The vocal opposition to the project from the likes of Warner and Steyer stems from a misdirected environmental concern. The crude oil and bitumen they are protesting will more than likely be transported through the area whether or not the Keystone XL project is completed. The pipeline that is intended to run through Oklahoma simply makes that transport more efficient.
The Keystone XL pipeline is expected to continue construction by mid summer, barring any political complications. Successful completion of the pipeline will help pump billions of dollars of value into the economy. And Oklahoma stands to benefit as much as anywhere else on the route.

Roughneck strength test
If you are here because you want to get a job on an oil rig then I guess I better explain what a roughneck challenge is. Although not all roughneck challenges are a prank to get a laugh out of a new guy, you should certainly be a little bit suspicions about what your crew is up to if you hear the words “roughneck challenge”.
Rather than explain the purpose of these challenges I might just let you watch the video and I’m sure you will figure it out. I have seen this prank done and also in a couple of other videos too. Although they did get the guy in this video pretty good, they could have taken it a step further and sprayed him with water after because drilling mud is extremely slimy and hard to wash off. I guess he was just luck to have a good crew.

Oil industry demands most grueling work weeks — but offers top pay
If the exhaustion you feel at the end of the work day wasn’t evidence enough, the career experts at PayScale have analyzed the data and delivered the proof: Workers in the oil industry have the most grueling work weeks.
In an analysis of jobs in which most workers receive hourly wages, energy-related professions claimed six of the top 10 longest work weeks. Roustabouts take the top spot, with a median work week of 61 hours. Drillers are not far behind, with a median of 59 hours per week, according to PayScale.
Top dollar: Texas chemical engineers banking $140,000
But the oil industry compensates well for the long hours. Workers in the energy industry also were among the highest paid, with petroleum plant operators earning the highest median wage in the top 10 — $25.48.
PayScale is an online service that surveys workers with various job titles on wages, salaries and other career data.
