One day we visited a drilling rig that was located in Oklahoma State. I have seen how employees perform drilling operations and how each employee tried to cooperate with the other one to making sure that everything is going smooth and correctly at the same time. It was a great experience and opportunity for me to learn more about how to perform drilling operations safely as one team.
