That's the beauty of much of the oil patch. You can live wherever, you just have to be out at the rig to work. Nowadays, some folks don't even have to do that, so long as they can get decent internet.
I worked a lot out of my house using the internet for the last 7-8 years of my last job, just to get out of driving a mile each way. I can be a really lazy bleep, but my cars are low mileage. My last year in, I actually drove a lot more, so I was looking forward to retiring early. Now the cars get a crapton more miles, just driving into town for volunteer work we do to get us out of the Castle.
