Oil Patch Bits New Stallion camps offer warmth and privacy
Up to 160 lucky workers at Prudhoe Bay could soon be sleeping in their own private rooms with wide-screen TVs and heated floors, in camps designed by Alaska’s own John Wagner. Houston-based Stallion Oilfield Services is sending 20 of the eight-person camps to Deadhorse in April on spec with the goal of leasing them out. There’s no shortage of interest, judging by the number of senior company representatives who visited a camp that was set up temporarily in Anchorage, Wagner told Petroleum News.
Every component of the camps, from windows to washbasins, can be purchased in Alaska, which cuts down the wait for replacement parts. Some features of this camp make it more expensive than average, but that is offset by the fact that it can be set up in just six hours, compared with several weeks or even months for other camps.
