Marvin F. Glotfelty, RG, on Cable Tool Drilling | NGWA: Industry Connected

Marvin F. Glotfelty, RG, provides an overview of cable tool drilling, which he disputes is an old and slow method that will eventually fade by the wayside. On the contrary, Glotfelty believes the drilling method will outlive this generation of drillers. Glotfelty uses PowerPoint slides to explain the advantages and disadvantages of this drilling method as well as video of the method in action.
