Pace Yourself

This will help you stay focused and productive for a longer period of time. You should also try to avoid multitasking as much as possible. It is better to focus on one task at a time, so that you can finish it faster and more efficiently. Working in an oilfield is dangerous, pace yourself to avoid mistakes and keep your crew safe.
The Texas heat is no joke. You need to keep cool at all times, especially around midday. Just remember that at Eagle Ford Village, we have ice-cold AC in every home and suite.
