The deepest well I was ever on went to 30,100

The rig on my home page is H&P

You beat me the deepest I ever went was 23,500.

I worked for H&P in the 70's. My first drilling job was with them.
I was a tool Pusher for Delta Drilling (Tyler Tx) in 1986 and 3 months later drawing unemployment.

Got out and never went back.

Boy, I knew a bunch of the old Delta hands that worked out of Victoria!
I've been a drilling consultant for thirty-one years.
I've had a lot of Delta rigs in the past.
That was a good company at one time until the turn-key business ate their lunch.

That 23,500 footer was probably out at Ft. Stockton.
The Ellenberger comes in from 22,500' to 24,500'.
That used to be good work. It would take us over a year to drill them.
When I left the Permian Basin they had trimmed the drilling days down to about six months.
