July 18, 2024 by PBOG

OPEC

Freedom from OPEC has been high on the American agenda for 23 years now. The Permian Basin is at the heart of the mission to secure American energy security.

Title VII and the Supreme Court

June 13, 2024 by PBOG

This article is the hot topic for July. When the Supreme Court issues an opinion, we must pay attention to it—especially when it deals with our employees’ rights.

Bucking the 80-20

As long as there are oil wells—greenfield and brownfield—there will be a need for downhole tools. That much is unchanging. What is up for grabs is the kind, the number, and the speed at which they’re needed. For Ruger Oil Tools, the times they are a’changin’. For Mesquite Oil Tools, the more things change, the […]
