Black Gold

The 5th season of Black Gold gets off to a hot start with temps, and tempers, rising, with no end in sight.

Brandon's always been an elusive dude, but when he doesn't show up to work, something has to be wrong - very wrong.

Brandon keeps his promise to Cheston and gives him a drilling lesson, but after losing time with a twist off, things don't play out as planned and Cheston risks their friendship by talking to a rival driller in the hopes of coming out on top.

Cheston walks a fine line between loyalty and self preservation when Brandon lets him down yet again, and he must seek out the help of a rival driller - behind his best friend's back.

A deadly gas build up threatens the crew, and it's up to Brandon to soar high above the rig to try and relieve the pressure.

Brandon has a run in with the law far from home, and when his buddy Cheston breaks a promise to bust him out of jail, there is hell to pay on the home front.

Competition for the driller position gets heated, and when Freddie has major doubts about Cheston's ability, he struggles to prove his worth against Mitchell, despite a crushing deadline looming overhead.

A dangerous explosion rocks the roughnecks of Rig 28, and it's an all-out sprint to finish the fourth and final hole before the looming deadline.

When a pressure spike causes a cave in and brings the rig to a screeching halt, Oscar steps up to the drilling slot to keep the rig running.

The Big Dog Big Wigs come down hard on Oscar to pick up the pace, forcing him to take it out on his slacking crew.
