WorldWide Drilling Resource

6 JUNE 2014 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® More to think about... WOW , it sure did warm up quickly in the midwest after all that stu- pidness of the weather! Soaring temperatures seem to be everywhere. For all our friends out there - you stay hydrated (with water - not sodas and the like), try not to work dur- ing the heat of the day, and take frequent breaks. Check out all those safety hints for heat and get ready - it just started! As we roll into mid-year and June - we find the ever-constant traveling WWDR Team headed to Kelowna, BC, Canada, for the 2014 CANWELL and then on to Billings, Montana, for the Energy Expo . These are two great events you really should attend - CANWELL is not just open to Canadians - we always like to help them celebrate - join in the fun - and trust me, they know how to do just that - HAVE FUN! Joan and her crew have a great week planned. And then you can’t top Vice President Dick Cheney in person at the 15th ENERGY EXPO . We are very excited to hear what he has to say about the future of the oil and gas industry. Won’t you join us? Finally, what would summer be without the world-famous South Atlantic Well Drillers Jubilee ~ back in Myrtle Beach , South Carolina, the regular “family reunion” dates - end of July ! Let everyone know - we are ready to have some fun! Then guess what --- The WWDR Team is taking a rest - NO EVENTS scheduled in August, but uh oh - time to plan for 2015 (already?).
