The drilling industry revolves around service. This theme comes up on the busy floors of trade shows and on the muddy sidelines of jobsites. It all comes back to service, where a contractor or a company says what it’ll do and does what it says.
National Driller attended the recent Open House event for rig and tooling manufacturer Geoprobe in Salina, Kan. The Open House, in many ways, typified drilling industry events: casual and friendly. It included demos of new products like the 3100GT and 150GT geotech rigs, and the DM250 water well rig from Drillmax, among others. It included a dinner event where contractors could catch up with peers from around the country. And it included a barbecue lunch and Kansas hospitality.
