WorldWide Drilling Resource

More to think about... Excitement is in the air! You can smell it! The sun is shining, the rain is helping crops, all this of course, depends on where you live. But there is excitement, as the South Atlantic Well Drillers Jubilee goes back home to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and the WWDR Team is poised for a great time. See you there...July 26-28. To switch gears a little bit - manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and even you drilling contractors are getting a great opportunity to join the WWDR Team in our ter- rific September History Month Issue! Our editorial department has prepared an inter- active Adobe PDF for you to easily complete the information we need to create (of course it’s free!) a beautiful rendition of the history of YOUR company. All you have to do is complete the form by either doing it online, or downloading, completing, and e-mailing or faxing it to us. We will also need some photographs - old ones are good, from when your company first began, and newer ones showing how it has advanced. Once we receive these, we will prepare the article for you and send it back for “tweak- ing” by you - after all, it is YOUR HISTORY . If your company has been included in the past two (2) years, we ask you to allow some other companies to step up to the plate and get themselves noticed as time and space is limited.
