My wife worked for WPX as an office manager. Almost $200,000 year. My wife seen the payrolls. Wife's cousin's husband in Colorado said he's making $2000 a day on a gas rig. Good friend is a senior engineer for WPX. Said he's north of $2,500 a day. Gas drilling in the north east is paying big bucks.
