In late September, Foremost Industries hosted a gathering of drilling contractors near Banff, Alberta, for "Drilling in the Rockies," a dual rotary drilling demonstration and education event.
A total of 30 delegates from 12 drilling companies were represented at the weekend special event. Delegates were accommodated at a resort nestled in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. The demonstration was held at a nearby gravel pit where a Foremost DR-12 operated by JR Drilling of Cranbrook, British Columbia, drilled a 6-inch steel-cased hole in unconsolidated gravel to 100 feet in an hour and 45 minutes. The casing was left in the ground overnight.
