Is Santa Bringing a New Drill Rig for Christmas?

By Brock Yordy
December 14, 2023

We’re barreling into the holidays and everyone is busy, but drillers everywhere have one question in the back of their mind: Is Santa bringing a new drill rig? Well, we can’t promise anything, but we don’t mind helping you visualize that heavy equipment dancing in your head. It’s Ask Brock 238. 

“So, if we’re going to ask Santa for a drill rig, what does that rig look like for 2024?” Yordy asks. 

Here at The Driller, we wish you a happy holiday season and merry Christmas if that’s your thing. Your presence was the only present we wanted, and here you are. Thanks.
