WorldWide Drilling Resource

6 MAY 2014 More to think about... A BLAST FROM OUR PAST! Out of nowhere, our dear friend Donald Hughes called! Several years ago Donald wrote articles for WorldWide , and we surely have missed him. Wondering where he went? Back home to the oil patch! Donald, unlike many, actually grew up in the oil field (patch, as it’s called). His experience is unparal leled. We are very pleased to say, Donald will be submitting articles again to WorldWide Drilling Resource ® . Just a few minutes of speaking with Donald and all he wants to share with us and YOU, I can hardly wait myself to read his first article under his chosen heading: A Post From The Patch Very appropriate indeed! So be sure to look for his first article and join us in welcoming back the one and only... HughesYerDaddy ... Donald Hughes See you on the trail!
