AMEN BROTHER!
I just went to work for a Drilling Service Company (Great White Directional Services) and I'll be heading up the MWD division (Measurement While Drilling)..As soon as I get my feet on the ground and learn more about the industry, I'll share the info here..Right now I'm just learning the dept I'm in and already have learned a whole lot of facts to dispell the media hype against drilling and fracturing, etc.
For example: BP was the cause of the rig failure in the Gulf..they flooded the rig and made it top heavy..had they let it burn itself out, it would have never fell over and broke off the well pipe.
Stay tuned.
