Drilling
With a strong history of industry innovation , Scientific Drilling is leading the field

Originally founded in Houston , Texas , in 1969 , as a measurements company , Scientific Drilling has spent over five decades establishing itself as one of the largest directional drilling contractors in the US , ultimately emerging as the largest independent drilling contractor in the world . Over time , it has matured its focus , while finely honing its skills with worldclass equipment and personnel .

Wes Shedd , CEO , begins : “ For us , it ’ s about well bore placement , which is really a merger of Scientific Drilling ’ s two core areas of expertise : measurements and drilling technologies .
“ This works well for us as we see these segments merging , as highlighted in active and passive ranging offerings as well as integrated rotary steerable systems . This winning combination enables us to apply our services across the board in any application , which is our primary focus .”
