EvOILution | Tools & Technology - The Drill Bit

The history of the oilfield is the history of solving problems.

Every drill bit represented a breakthrough, from the first fishtail bit of the 1800s to today’s intelligent drilling systems capable of optimizing performance in real time.

Technology changed.

The mission never did.

Produce energy safer, faster, and more efficiently than the generation before.
Yesterday built today’s innovation. Today’s innovation is building tomorrow.

The scale is hard to imagine.

Here’s how much oil, natural gas, and coal the world produces in just one year.

Understanding energy starts with understanding the numbers.

EvOILution | Boomtowns — Huntington Beach, CA

From Oil Field to Iconic Coastline. A Beach That Keeps Evolving.

It may be hard to imagine today, but nearly a century ago, Huntington Beach was one of the busiest oil-producing regions in the world. Wooden derricks stretched for miles along the shoreline, fueling California's rapid growth and helping power America's industrial expansion.

As the city evolved, the derricks gave way to surfboards, palm trees, and the vibrant coastal community recognized around the world today. While the landscape changed, the foundation those early pioneers built remains.

From a booming oil field to one of Southern California's most iconic destinations, Huntington Beach is a reminder that progress doesn't erase history—it builds upon it.

HERO WEEK - NEVER FORGET / The Largest Water Rescue in History.

As smoke filled the skyline and every road out of Lower Manhattan became impassable, an extraordinary call echoed across New York Harbor.

It wasn’t issued by a government agency.

It wasn’t part of a prepared emergency plan.

It was answered by ordinary people.

Ferry captains. Tugboat crews. Commercial operators. Private boat owners. Fishermen.

One by one, they turned their boats toward Manhattan.

Over the next several hours, more than 500,000 people were evacuated by water, the largest maritime evacuation in history.

No one was ordered to go.

They simply saw people in need… and came.

In one of America’s darkest moments, thousands were carried to safety because hundreds chose courage over comfort.

Never Forget. 🇺🇸
