bearcatbob, i have the same question farmerboy asked about chk's radio ads during the ohio state football game. i know from the last chk conf call that chk has by now moved about four rigs out of the haynesville play up to the utica play. chk is not going to do anymore drilling in the haynesville until ng prices adjust upward. as i recall from that call chk will have moved about another 12 rigs from somewhere to the utica by the end of 2011. so chk is going from just a couple of rigs to about 12 or 16 rigs in the utica by year end 2011. thus i assume chk is looking for several hundred people. as i understand it shale drilling takes about 50 people per rig. i assume chk has its own critical needs people for each drilling rig already employed at chk. the rest of the hires, i assume, are being sought in the ohio area. with that "preface" what kind of jobs did the radio commercial for chk indicate were open?
