Burgex Mining Consultants’ 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

I recently spent about 18 months away from corporate life working as a drilling fluids consultant back in the oilfields of West Texas & New Mexico for EOG. EOG may be the greatest company in the world to consult for. In fact, if it weren't for EOG, I likely wouldn't have lasted that long... For those in my network who don't know the ins & outs of the oilfield, this position typically requires 14 days of work away from home and then you get 14 days off. In this industry we see a lot of posts from fathers who have to leave their families to go earn a living. Once per month there are tears shed by both sides; dads having to drive away from devastated kids and kids not completely understanding why dad has to leave for so long. This post is not about either of those two dynamics, but rather about the Moms and Wives who are left to put pieces back together. When dad leaves, it’s the mom who has to console her kids. Then dress them, feed them, take them to school and activities, put them to bed all while getting little to no help. She is exhausted at the end of the day, leading to exhaustion in the morning. For weeks on end she sacrifices for her family with little to no recognition and no time for herself. My most recent experience back in the field truly opened my eyes to the sacrifices that FAMILIES in the oilfield make as a whole. For those of us on the corporate side of the oilfield, please keep your people AND their families in your thoughts and prayers. Don't forget about those mothers and kids who are sacrificing just as much if not more than our employees working away from home. Those of us who are working away from home, please do not forget about our wives and mothers of our children who take everything on their backs when we leave. Pray for them, help them before you leave and give them an escape when you get home. Let's continue to build an oilfield of strong families in the face of the challenges this industry presents.

DARE TO DREAM Our dreams come to us at night interrupting our sleep or during the day daring us to grow. In Midland TX, we Dare to Dream of being at the top of the oil and gas industry where everyone feels its success rain down. The oilfield is the driving force of Midland’s ideas, imagination, and desires. Yearning for fruition in the form of a booming economy with successful citizens. The oil derrick appears almost like a ladder reaching high up to the sky allowing all to climb towards success. In this image, dreams are not mere idealizations, but instead life realities. A man can stand proud knowing he is working hard to support his family which in turn furthers their ability to imagine. In this image, the field of dreams is not a game, but land that gives back to its people. An industry that opens doors so one might continue to Dare to Dream as their abilities and desires grow. One might look up from the ground and see the impossible while Midland looks up and knows it can be done. The clouds in the background almost appear to be the smoke from an explosion; it is as if the oil derrick stands tall through destruction. The colors in this image cause one to focus on the oil derrick and how tall it stands in all of its glory. Here is proof that hard work develops dreams into reality. That reality only leads us to Dare to Dream, bigger and better dreams! www.bobcallender.com #oilfieldphotography #oilandgasindustry #oilfield #oilfieldservices #oilpatch #bobcallender #roughneck #driller #energystrong #permianbasin #pumpjack #pumpingunit #oilindustry #petroleum #westtexas #fineartphotography #officespace

At FireRock, we're obsessed with pre-job planning. Each project gets the full treatment: analyzing formation challenges, mapping out trajectory requirements, and hand-selecting the perfect motor configurations and MWD tools for the job. With decades of downhole experience, we know that time spent planning pays off tenfold on the rig floor. Our team dives deep into the details so your crew doesn't have to deal with surprises thousands of feet down. Because in this industry, the real heroes aren't the ones who fix problems - they're the ones who prevent them. #DrillingSuccess #PreJobPlanning #FireRockPrecision #OilandGas

After 21 years in this industry the number one thing I preach the most is that 90% of incidents can be prevented with awareness and communication. And yes, I can make up statistics if I want to…it’s 2024 bud, keep up! When I started drilling, back in 2003 with my first of four geotechnical drilling companies, the only thing that mattered was to drill as fast as you could so you didn’t feel inferior to the senior drillers who spent their mornings drinking cigarettes and smoking coffee.  No, I didn’t get my words mixed up just there. The truth is in those days it was almost impossible to tell where the cigarette ended and the coffee began. What came first, the coffee or the cigarette? Who knows, I never saw any of those guys without both. Even while they operated their dinosaurs from the ‘70s they still managed to do so with a coffee and a cigarette. And lunch time was interesting because somehow a sandwich came into the fold and now there’s a cigarette, a coffee, a sandwich, and of course, a CME. I look back on those days like it was the Wild West but in farmer’s fields with a Mobile B57 and two other human beings. While we drilled endless 20 footer after 20 footer, for whatever cookie cutter subdivision was about to go up, we found ourselves exercising safe work practices that weren’t very safe work practical by today’s standards. But I have to say, if I can be honest here, I didn’t really witness too many injuries in those first 8 years of my career. Sure, there was the odd sledge hammer to the finger or pin hammer to the chin, but overall, the incidents were mostly minor. In hindsight, it didn’t really make sense at first, but then I got to thinking, wait a minute, there was always a lot of yelling and screaming. We were not afraid to tell each other how we felt about any one particular thing. Don’t f***in stand there! Don’t f***in touch that! Step the f**k back! These days, we need to be more mindful of our language and tone, I admit I know this more than most, and that is why it is crucial we communicate tasks properly and the hazards associated with them. Morning tailgate meetings are an opportunity for us to communicate and raise awareness. It shouldn’t be this hum drum affair where we just fill out paperwork and then toss it at others to sign. We need to speak up. We need to speak out. We need to communicate! Don’t roll your eyes at near miss paperwork. They’re a great opportunity to communicate. Don’t guffaw at the incident report you need to fill out, they help others learn to be safer. Don’t fall asleep during the next safety talk by a white hat, you may learn something. Listen, the ole days are gone, and although they make me smile when I think about how much footage we hammered out on the daily, I’m glad they’re behind me. We need to look to the future and communicate our stories to the next generation of drillers so they don’t make the same mistakes we did. Thanks for listening…
