Yellowjacket Oilfield Services

Here in Louisiana, and specifically our part of 337, we have to give a thank you to the industry that keeps the world running. It is a way of life for families, and gives the gift of stability –“The Oilfield.”

As a daughter of one of the hardest working men I know, first hand, growing up with a father in this industry is a tough but empowering journey to witness. Now as I am older and in a position to share their story, I wanted to highlight the impressive expansion of Yellowjacket Oilfield Services to our 337 community. They are a core unit of men who collectively have gained top tier knowledge in their field. They are “Innovators of their craft”gained through extensive knowledge, in-field experience, and the trials of the past

As one of the very few independent, off-shore companies left here in the Lafayette area, this is YellowJacket and their journey to bring innovation to a field that has spanned the test of time, powered the world, and continues to provide rewarding careers for families here in 337.

How it Began

With their starting point being in Midland, Texas, Yellowjacket quickly expanded to serve five states around the country: Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Alaska. Because of the company’s growth, the corporate office has relocated to Houston, Texas In Louisiana, their wireline services’ home base is in Broussard and pipe recovery services are in Houma.

The Broussard division has grown rapidly In just two years, the location went from a 4-employee operation to a 25-employee operation with 10 trucks. They now have 5 offshore skid packages and 5 land trucks
