Horizon Drilling’s Post

𝖪𝖾𝖾𝗉𝗂𝗇𝗀 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝗍𝗋𝖺𝖽𝗂𝗍𝗂𝗈𝗇 𝖺𝗅𝗂𝗏𝖾.. Our well driller Chris knows this Schramm, Inc rig like the back of his hand, having drilled thousands of wells throughout his 30+ year career. Our helpers Gino and Eddie are on the opposite end of this, having just started out in their careers and the industry. It's easy (and somewhat common practice nowadays) to assume the younger generations aren't capable, or willing, to learn from those more skilled than them. The alternative? Finding those that are eager to develop a skill set, putting them with those who have it and letting both sides learn the soft and hard skills that each have to offer. This is how we keep the tradition alive. And as important as it is, it's also one of the coolest parts of the job when you see it happening right in front of you. Big shoutout to these guys for working together to install a slotted well screen, ensuring our customers well remains open and operating at peak efficiency. #WellDrilling #Tradition #Teamwork #SupportTheTrades

At US Coring, we often face unforeseen challenges that require innovative solutions. While everyone loves to talk about the big, record-setting projects, it's the smaller, trickier jobs that truly test our mettle and showcase our expertise. Not every job is smooth sailing, but every job is an opportunity to demonstrate resilience and problem-solving. 🛠️ Recently, we were tasked with deepening a well on a very small workover rig. The customer chose US Coring because of our extensive experience and proven track record. However, the job was anything but straightforward. As we began the process, we encountered debris and junk that had been there since 1964—something no one was expecting. Despite these unexpected obstacles, our team was quick to adapt and strategize. 📦 Although we couldn't complete the coring as planned, our efforts weren't in vain. We made a surprising discovery in the depths of that well. 🧐 Can you guess what we found? Drop your guesses in the comments below! ⬇️ At US Coring, we have set records before, with challenges as an opportunity to grow. Sometimes the most important thing is the lessons learned. We are here to finding solutions, no matter how deep we have to dig. #Resilience #ProblemSolving #USCoring #WellDrilling #UnexpectedFinds #ChallengeAccepted
