As drilling contractors' association, IADC will focus on listening to, responding to members' needs

摘要

THESE ARE TRYING TIMES FOR OUR industry. Last year was a difficult year, and this year's forecast is equally as challenging. We have seen the effects of the depressed market reflected in the reduction of rig counts and companies who have shuttered their operations. People are comparing this downturn to the one of the mid-1980s, a time we all hoped never to revisit. IADC is in its 76th year. Our association has withstood the challenges that come with a market correction more than a few times, and we are still here. The world runs on the energy our members provide. Our industry, as well as this association, will be here for the inevitable upturn.
