He has directly worked many of the “firsts” in the industry, drilling the first horizontal well, the longest, and even the fastest succession of wells.

He also owns his own consulting business, Top Performance Drilling. Robert’s professionalism, attention to detail, and compliance to safety standards is known and respected industry wide.
