Oilfield Pros Releases September 2026 Hiring Report Tracking 305 Active Career Pages Across Midland and Odessa
Sep 18, 2026
Oilfield Pros provides verified directory data and employment research for oilfield service companies operating throughout the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico.
Odessa-Midland, TX, Texas, United States, September 18, 2026 -- A free directory of oil and gas service companies working the Permian Basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, Oilfield Pros has released a comprehensive labor report identifying 305 oil and gas service providers with active hiring portals in Midland and Odessa as of Sept. 6, 2026. The study, titled "Who Is Hiring in the Permian Basin: September 2026," evaluates directory listings across the region to quantify current employment opportunities despite fluctuating rig counts.
Managed by James Maabadi, Oilfield Pros operates an online business directory dedicated exclusively to service providers in these two Permian Basin regions. Online since 2006, the platform index currently includes 1,594 companies categorized across nine major operational sectors, more than 70 industry specialties, and 185 regional towns. Indexed sectors include drilling contractors, completion crews, equipment haulers, rental yards, fabricators, water management firms, safety providers, and supporting professional services.
The September 2026 hiring report captures a highly vibrant job market across the Midland and Odessa combined economic zone, highlighting 305 local companies actively managing live careers pages as of September 6, 2026. Fueled by the resilient Permian Basin energy sector and significant regional commercial growth, hiring activity points to robust demand across diverse skills, including Frac operators, flowback technicians, field specialists, and rig mechanics.
The report illustrates a structural shift in regional labor demand. While initial drilling activity has moderated, ongoing operational needs require continuous workforce support. Producing wells require routine maintenance, pumping, chemical treating, fluid hauling, and mechanical repairs throughout their operational lifespans.
"The headlines are about cuts, but the job boards in Midland and Odessa are still full of openings. We wanted a real number, so we checked every company's website ourselves. The work is moving from drilling toward production and service, and those companies are still hiring," said Maabadi.
To assist job seekers navigating the market, Oilfield Pros published a companion reference guide on Sept. 15, 2026, titled "How to Get Your First Oilfield Job in West Texas." Available to the public without a subscription or login, the guide details entry-level job titles that require no prior industry experience, identifies essential safety certifications when submitting applications, and outlines wage benchmarks based on Bureau of Labor Statistics data for the Midland and Odessa metropolitan areas.

Unlike national trade directories that blend regional operators with headquarters located outside the producing fields, Oilfield Pros focuses strictly on regional operations within the Permian Basin. Every submission undergoes manual review before publication, and the directory remains free for companies to list and for industry professionals to search.
Each listed company is indexed by its specific service classification and tied directly to a local municipality. This localized structure helps energy producers and field personnel identify specialized contractors, such as casing crews in Odessa or hot shot transport services in Hobbs, operating near active job sites.
“Oilfield Pros is the new source for the services, vendors, equipment, and tools of the Permian Basin oil and gas industry. Visitors can navigate the directory by category and specialty, or search for companies by town, accessing contact information, events, tools, and news about working in Permian Basin,” said Maabadi.
Oilfield Pros is a dedicated online directory serving the energy industry in the Permian Basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico. Providing free company listings and search functionality without subscription or login barriers, the platform connects almost 1,600 energy operators with local service contractors, including drilling, completion, hauling, fabrication, and safety providers.

Filipino fishers count the cost of South China Sea dispute
For fishermen like Joey Marabe in the Philippine province of Zambales, the geopolitical contest playing out in the South China Sea can be measured in dwindling catches and shrinking incomes, as the presence of Chinese vessels around a contested shoal increasingly limits where they can work. “It’s a huge drop.
