Deep Well Services earns award
A Zelienople-based drilling services company earned an Industry Member of the Year Award presented by the Society of Petroleum Engineers Student Chapter at Penn State University.
Deep Well Services was one of two award winners honored during the SPE Student Chapter at Penn State University banquet April 6.
The company implemented its Snubbing 101 virtual reality demonstrations and classroom-style lectures at Penn State University multiple times in recent years. The 90-minute experience utilizes industry-leading virtual reality headsets to provide an unparalleled “in-basket” snubbing experience.
DWS initially invested in a state-of-the-art snubbing simulator in 2015. The company had taken the simulator to mobile demonstrations throughout the past two years.
Recently, DWS upgraded to the latest software and the Vive VR headsets, which enables the simulator to mirror the control panel on all DWS snubbing units while providing the most realistic feel possible.
“Deep Well Services is absolutely honored to receive this award, and we feel extremely privileged to say that we work with the SPE program, which truly is a world class organization,” said Matt Tourigny, director of marketing at DWS, who accepted the award. “One of Deep Wells’ core values and culture of excellence is to give back to the community that we operate in and to also help educate new members of this amazing industry.”
