"I first started working with EWN to comply as a contractor with the VGOA OQ program.  Jeremy Green was extremely helpful with answering all of our concerns regarding making a change from our current OQ program to the EWN system.  Lauren Morton has been tremendous in helping with the addition of all of our employees to the EWN system.   

Lauren and Jeremy have provided excellent customer service and gone out of their way to ensure a smooth migration to the EWN system, answering questions and running down answers.  I have yet to place a call for assistance where I wasn't eagerly greeted and cheerfully helped.  This approach to customer service is top notch and very much appreciated.

Thanks you ENERGY worldnet, Inc. for putting your customers first!!!"

Drilling or "making hole" began long before oil or natural gas were anything more than flammable curiosities found seeping from the ground. Oil seeps provided a balm for injuries, and natural gas seeps, when ignited, created folklore and places called "burning springs". For centuries, digging by hand or with a shovel was the best technology that existed to pry into the earth's secrets.

Drilling technology advanced when the spring pole harnessed the resiliency of a bent tree. The advent of cable-tools introduced the wooden derrick and steam power, but required frequent stops to remove chipped-away rock, bail out water, and sharpen the bit.

Although rotary drilling introduced the hollow drill stem, it was wildcatter Howard Hughes Sr. who revolutionized drilling technology with his 1909 patent for a twin-cone roller bit.
