Doesn't get any hotter where I come, 115 degrees today, but the work still gets done. Bottom line is you make sure your working conditions are prepared for hot or cold. Kind of like insulating your home produces better results in hot or cold weather than choosing not to do it.

Heavy rains and flooding would impair or stop any business from running, you're comparing apples to oranges. I suppose tornadoes and sand storms would be something you have an expectation of people working in too?

your right, winter is 5 months away, maybe they should just pack it up and hope for the best next spring!!!! NOT, here in Northern Michigan oil and natural gas is drilled and pumped year round, heck last year they started drilling a new oil well during deer season and the temps were below zero and we received a few inches of snow a day! Drilling rigs are made to penetrate some of the hardest things, frozen ground included.
I wouldn't be surprised they stopped because of all the rain and flooding they had, my buddy in North Dakota said everything was shut down in the floods there last month, so Im not concerned
