I usually write about rigs and well-related topics, but this month I’m going to break from the norm a little and tell a story about my friends and I from a few years ago in North Dakota.
Last month, I talked about cold weather gear to keep everyone warm, safe and productive. This usually works pretty well, but sometimes the weather, or your preparation, doesn’t cooperate.
Almost every well constructed, and virtually all drilled wells, use casing to support the hole and allow access to the producing horizon, be it oil, gas, water or most anything else under the ground.
Because of the equipment's central role in a drilling operation, contractors are often torn between investing in the purchase of a mobile generator or renting the machine as needed.
