Cresswell Drilling got its start 140 years ago when digging wells was done by hand. Five generations later, the family-run business continues to help residents of northeastern Pennsylvania with their water system needs.
Recessions are hard on the drilling industry, and while no one emerges from the fallout unscathed, there are ways to plan for the next recession (and it is coming!) and keep your head above water.
I recently attended a safety training conference where a retired Chicago police officer gave a talk on mental focus and situational awareness. He advocated using the “Cooper code” to reduce incidents and mistakes at the jobsite.
Great drillers are like the heroic test pilots of the 20th century who helped build our modern-day space program. Great drillers and test pilots like Chuck Yeager share a common bond: instincts that allow for instant reaction. Those instincts came from a good foundation of learning, project experience and continued growth throughout a career.
