Here at National Driller, we love to hear about challenging drilling jobs. But not all challenges are created equal. So, when we heard about a recent project Yellow Jacket Drilling Services LLC did at Phantom Ranch, we had to find out more.
Visitors usually ride mules to get to the ranch, which the Parks Service describes as “a historic oasis nestled in the bottom of the Grand Canyon.” That meant getting the drilling rig, tooling and other equipment required to supply water to the ranch involved a massive Chinook helicopter.
