The History of Oil Field Housing Explained

Oil field housing has evolved dramatically, from improvised shelters and wooden barracks in the industry’s early days to today’s modern man camps and bunkhouses. Over time, oil companies recognized that better living conditions improved worker morale and productivity, leading to the development of dormitories, trailers, and later self-contained communities with dining, recreation, and security. Modern oilfield housing now includes private rooms, fitness centers, Wi-Fi, and other amenities that create a home-like environment in remote locations. This progression reflects the industry’s shift toward prioritizing worker well-being alongside operational efficiency, making quality housing a vital part of energy sector success.

Corporate Housing vs Airbnb: Choosing the Right Accommodation for Business Travel

Choosing between corporate housing and Airbnb for business travel depends on priorities like privacy, consistency, and cost. Corporate housing—such as CHS’s furnished apartments, lodges, and hotels—offers business-focused amenities, predictable quality, consolidated billing, and better long-term value. Airbnb provides variety and easy booking but can lack consistency and privacy, making it less ideal for extended work trips. For companies prioritizing comfort, reliability, and tailored support for traveling teams, corporate housing is the more efficient, workforce-friendly choice.
