Savanna Energy

I am in the field we are the ones bringing home the money for Savanna and total energy and risking our lives on a daily basis. The management for Savanna needs to be changed as well as Total Energy. If your not in the click with supply chain management or higher authority and field sups your opinion and concerns do not get heard. We have to listen where or who I can purchase my goods for my needs and safety of my guys on the rigs from guys in head office who only care about the next free lunch or hockey tickets while we bust our humps out here and don't see our families. A complete management make over needed. Lots of dead weight and over head.

Not pertinent to the applied for position of 3 weeks temporary work, and I completely fail to understand its requirement here. This is simply an interim short term position with no apparent chance of advancement or permanence.

I learned a lot of information regarding the oil field. 
A typical day is a 12 hour work day with a 1/2 - 1 hour drive to the rig and then the same back to hotel.  I would be out for 2 weeks working  7 days at night and 7 days.  Travel time to the rig is part of the 7 
days off.
This is a rough culture and hard work.  
The most enjoyable part of the job for me was the learning about the industry

Due to corporate restructuring and downward spiral of the oil and gas industry in Alberta, Savanna is going through some hard changes.  The knowledge gained through this organization provided me with a greater appreciation for the Oil and Gas economy.  The people were great, my direct supervisor went above and beyond expectations on a daily basis.

For a drilling rig company, they are professionally run and have a bit of the modern safety culture. 

People that I met here were pretty respectful and professional in what they did, compared to stories I have heard from other more "cowboy" drilling companies.

each day way very diferent
learned something new each day
managment was great
co-workers were great
the hardest part of the job was understanding what to do
most enjoyable part of the job was the people

Savanna Energy has grown considerably in the 3 years I worked there.
My coworkers were fun to work with and goal oriented
Management was fragmented and did not seem to communicate well within divisions.

too many changes, the employees are so panic. Lack of growth for many positions. And I don't understand why such a small company has so much politics and they only keep friends & families and push away good people.

They fed  my family for a lot of years, time to move on. It was surprising to see just how fast a company or a supervisor can turn on u when it suits their best interest.

Best hands on work experience I had. Savana Rig 447 took care of me and trained me fully to become good at what I do. For the nature of tough work these guys do. My experience was productive and quite enjoyable.
