Is your older drilling rig a maintenance nightmare? In Ask Brock, episode 94, host and drill trainer Brock Yordy gives the audience some things to think about if they’re thinking about upgrading their drilling rig.

“You cannot grow and progress in the industry without investing in equipment, investing in the company, investing in people,” he says.

First, he says, consider whether the company has hit a growth mode, or more of a sustaining posture.

Then, think about the next job, even if you’re considering a purchase for one specific project or contract.

“If we purchase this rig, how much work are we going to have for it?” he asks.

He also talks about ease of use and the incredible technology available in modern rigs. Check out today’s episode to hear more.
