Love the series. My son is a petroleum engineer who graduated college in 2023 and is working in North Dakota fracking oil with hopes to eventually end up in the gulf. The series is helping me understand what my son’s work life is really like. Very eye opening even though he sends us pictures etc.

I'm glad to hear this! Although dramatized, I bet there are many parallels to your son's profession.

Thank you. It’s more real than you think. From the man camps to getting in a fist fight to being the newbie in a green hat ( he finally earned a grey hat) it’s been rough for this mom. Series makes me feel like I’m there in a way. Thanks for highlighting this industry

Wow! I don't doubt it. I work in energy policy, so I try to tie in culture where appropriate.
