Hi George

Nice to meet you! I worked in Brooks for many years, from 84 90 I was Operations manager for Brooks Field Service, i then ran tools for Jani International for another 9 months or so before relocating back to Fort St John. I have for the last three years been Operations advisor to Verenex Energy Libya. What are you doing here in China? Drop a line I would like to hear from you....Merry Christmas!

Henry don't know what formation you were drilling in in Canada with the 'S' curve wells but 25 years ago we drilled 'S' curve wells at the count of 42 per platform in the North Sea all day long, 24/7/365. Don't worm out on me. How the Hell are you, Vernon Mudd

Henry,
I am as well a dayrater here in the states... As for the multi-cycle it is a breeze alot of people dont like to have to mess with surface testing it but it is no problem just run her through the cycles it is gonna close on number six.. Break it off and re-set it then you have to burn one cycle to test just dont lose count if you have to break circulation going in the hole... As far as milling the window if you ask me the trak-master fast trak is the best out there i ahve run bakers and W-Fords as well. If you need any material on the Multi-cycle let me know or on the NAMBFV i have all the liteature and can email it too you. well i better get up to the floor talk at you later

George about 40 percent of our work is fishing and the rest is just purely whips and Rhino reamers... We work on a co-man call basis no contracts here. if you would like to email me you can look me right up in the smith email. I know for sure you could go to Qatar and stay fairly busy the manager over there is a good friend of mine i was just there in June filling in for hime the hands are working 35/35 there. Here in the states we average about 20-22 days a month on rigs wether it be fishing or remedial tools. If you would like i will give you some contact info for some people i know with smith and get you busy.
