Oilfield Joke: Working in the Marcellus is a little different...

Three dirt contractors were bidding on building a drilling location in the Marcellus Shale located within the city limits of a large metropolitan area.

One was from New York, another from Texas, and the third from Kansas. Both the contractor from Texas and Kansas were new to doing business in the Marcellus and were ready to bid the job to get it. 

The young City Administrator was very eager to get the project started and was happy to have the three contractors bidding on this work.


First the Kansas dirt contractor took his measurements, went away to make some calls and came back and said, "I figure the job will run about $9000. I bid $4000 for materials, $4000 for my crew, and $1000 profit for me."


Next was the Texas dirt contractor. He also took out his measurements, went away to make some calls and with a confident smile said, "Looks like I can do this job for $7000. I bid $3000 for materials, $3000 for my crew, and $1000 profit for me."


Finally, the City Administrator asks the New York dirt contractor for his bid. 


Without batting an eye, the contractor says, "$27,000."


The young City Administrator's jaw drops, incredulous, looks at him and says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys!


How did you come up with such a high figure?"


"Easy," says the contractor from New York, "$10,000 for me, $10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Texas."
