We in the drilling business work in a unique industry. When you think of our resources, if it can't be grown, it must be drilled for. Everyone on the drill crew, from the newest hand, to an old “silver-back” tool pusher has a part to play in the successful completion of a well. A new guy usually is pretty well bewildered by all the noise, mess and confusion of a drilling location. It is up to the boss to keep the workers safe, while teaching them the basics of the job. It's up to the hand to learn the job so things can get done in a profitable manner. A lot of drillers overlook the training aspect of the job. When you think about it, the more the hands know, the easier your job is.
