"I have become a driller, now what?" If you are not asking yourself what is next, then you are not progressing as a driller.

I always approach a project with this goal in mind: To drill an efficient borehole safely utilizing the tooling and equipment on site with the least amount of impact to the environment.

Our greatest challenge in the drilling industry is not how to find and obtain natural resources, be it water, oil, gas or precious minerals, but how to find the next generation of professionals.

The most complex and fragile piece of equipment on the jobsite is our brain, and one slight impact could change your life forever.

There is nothing more rewarding than making water flow out of the ground.

In December, I sat down with my good friends at the 820th RED HORSE water well-drilling unit to talk about their recent mission to drill for water in Iraq.

As a young vertical driller, I believed that vertical drilling and horizontal drilling were radically different.

It is the end of 2016, and time to reflect on the past business year. Did the year turn out the way you expected?

Today’s safety practices in the oil and gas market are just as relevant to the water well-drilling industry.

How do we transfer knowledge and valuable experience to new people in the industry?
