Alpha Oil Tools posted a “Happy Birthday” message and short video on their LinkedIn page that read:
“Happy 85th Birthday to a REAL legacy in our industry, Mr. Morris Fleming. Morris started working for Halliburton in 1960, was on his first frac job in 1966, and has made countless contributions to our industry in drilling, well completions, well service, downhole tools, plug and abandonment, and many, many others. His wisdom is only surpassed by his kindness and his friendship. He is always quick to share his knowledge to benefit others and we should know because Alpha Oil Tools is one of the biggest beneficiaries of them all!!! Thank you, Morris, and Happy Birthday!

Andy Brosig, Senior Reporter / Photographer
While attending New Mexico Junior College (NMJC) to learn about their Lease Pumper Program, someone (unbeknownst to Me) contacted the Hobbs Sun Newspaper about possibly doing an interview with me.
In walks Mr. Andy with his large DSL Camera hung around his neck and notepad in hand. Exactly what you would expect from a news man.
We both recorded His interview of me… that resulted in a Front Page article for Oilfield Talk (a first!).
Hope you enjoy learning just a little more about Oilfield Talk.

R I F or Reduction in Force is just another way to say you are / have been “Laid Off” where the end result is, you are Unemployed and without a Job.
This is what happened to me last Wednesday…
I got “The Call” we all dread on the 6th of March, 2024… after almost 27 years with the same company… ‘Your Services Are No Longer Required’.
Quite the Gut-Punch… and felt like my feet were swept right out from under me… I wasn’t expecting it. We knew people were going to be let go, but I had been told that I was being retained… and back to my previous position as “Float” or “Fill In” (110) wherever needed. Didn’t end up working out that way.
In this episode I discuss my own personal reaction to being laid off and some of the things available through the Louisiana Workforce Commission – Rapid Response Team.
