Setbacks

So I went out to my field site this past Monday wondering what had become of my driller, and lo and behold he was nowhere to be found. I was a little perturbed, since he had not returned my phone calls late the previous week to inform me of the status of the rig. I continued on my way, doing my baseline water levels and called him when I got back to the office.

Tuesday arrives, still no word. Things get frantic. We were supposed to start this week and we haven't and we have no idea why.

Finally, the call comes and the driller gives me the gory details - the rig broke down late last week and he has been scrambling for parts, finally deciding to send it out west for major repairs. Oh well.

Drilling is scheduled to start next Monday. Stay tuned...

  • I defn will. This sounds interesting ... maybe you can script in some more intrigue and our profession will actually sound sexy!
