My grandpa worked on rigs for about 50 years starting in the late 40s. Said the old
Man he started off working for was a wildcatter that would
Witch a well like you would a water well. Claimed he worked for him about 10 years and never drilled a dry hole
Another story he had is sometime in the late 40s he went to Wyoming on a rig and they got snowed in for several weeks. Said they were all eyeing this one fat guy when one of them managed to shoot a couple cow elk
