In regards to your article on Fear Factor, I have been a ToolPusher for the past 13 years. I have had to deal with many incidents over that time. Thank God, nothing fatal as of yet. I would just like to say that I totally agree with your opinion or findings. When a superior such as a Driller, Toolpusher or Company man is feared by less knowledgable workers, this seems to be the end result in most cases, "scared to ask".
I have a relationship with my workers, where right down to the LeaseMan, he not be afraid to ask questions. I turned the old cliche' around and preach to my men, "Its better to ask questions and NOT be thought of as a fool than to proceed unsure and remove all doubt".
I have found that there are very few people that are incapable of learning, when taught in a calm manner, that cant move ahead but there is the odd one now & then. I always explain why I want it done my way (from experience) after I have analyzed their reasoning and determine whether it is better or not. I find when you allow workers to think for themsevles but when in doubt come to the boss,without catching hell, you crank out better workers.

Sincerely,

Jim

Thank you for your offer. I thought I answered you a while back but I found my original note in my drafts folder. I apologize for taking so long to reply.

Yes, if you don't mind sending a few, or showing me where to find them... better yet, add me to any mailing list, "paul.carroll@anadarko.com".

Thank you.
