I want to take a moment to look back, because it’s both instructive and inspiring.
Here at National Driller, we’re taking a dive into drilling history for a project we’ll unveil soon. Let me say first that history fascinates me. I’ve dug into genealogy and subscribe to several podcasts that take deep, narrative looks at historical events. But I hadn’t spent much time thinking about the history of drilling. It’s littered with brave, and perhaps a bit nutty, people. That nuttiness, however, is what gave these folks the vision to create the equipment and techniques that now get taken for granted. I want to spotlight a couple of those people.
