NMJC is teaching ‘one of a kind’ courses at their Oil and Gas Training Programs in Hobbs, NM; and they are amazing!
You will hear from Kelly Tooker who created these programs and is the Director of O&G Technology at NMJC; the Students and Instructors for the “Lease Pumper” course I was fortunate to sit in on… as well as a firsthand experience of being on the training grounds with Don Harmon.
I want to thank Ms. Monica Cervantes for inviting me to NMJC and all the New Mexico Junior College Staff I met during the week… “Oilfield Talk” was welcomed in and we really appreciate it!
“Oilfield Talk” spent almost a week with NMJC and drove over 2700 miles to bring you these stories… hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy bringing them to you.
