Since 2005 with my current employer and before that working for distribution, I have heard the “I drill with water only” conversation. To a new territory or distribution person, this argument leans toward the driller as his record is on his side. Sooner or later that lucky driller won’t be so lucky.
I think a lot about business-related issues, and do my share of writing about them in this space and on my blog at www.thedriller.com. Recently, I wrote a post there discussing the limits that small and mid-sized contracting firms face as they attempt to grow.
With the oilfield slowdown and the fact that I hadn’t been home much in the last few years, I decided to be a little closer to Lottie until my next adventure.
When it comes to drilling fluids for horizontal directional drilling and vertical drilling, such as geothermal loop installation or water well drilling, there are a lot of similarities.
