WorldWide Drilling Resource

OCTOBER BEGINS THE LAST QUARTER OF 2024 We hope your year thus far has been a good one and you’re looking forward to a great fall ~ that cool, crisp feeling is in the air. It’s been a whirlwind of a year here at WorldWide and the WWDR Team is looking forward to seeing you . . . on the trail soon. Amazes me how many companies, BIG or little, thought this effort would not last six (6) months. Remembering back, Doc Faison and I spoke of that before we went full-speed ahead into this adventure to continue serving the industry we both loved helping prior to this NEW RED JACKET effort. If you were sitting in my office today, here in rural Bonifay, Florida, it would amaze you, I believe, just as much as it amazes me each and every day, just how well this WWDR Team works together seemingly without any disagreements, shares ideas with each other, works through the everyday questions that may arise, and makes this the most sought-after Print and Online Drilling Magazine in the World still today. I believe it’s because, we are honest, to the point, and believe in DRILLING and YOU, the people in it. SO, AGAIN I REPEAT THE WORDS OF A VERY WISE MAN . . .
