Ken Lavin, Winter Mud Co., gives a brief history of the drilling fluid company, which started in the SW Kansas and the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandle.
They operated in that territory for decades and has expanded operations throughout Oklahoma and Texas. Winter Mud Company was started during a tremendous slow down in the oil business but survived and was able to grow to its current size.
Lavin discusses their drilling experience from shallow to deep with horizontal experience in the Atoka, Cleveland, Granite Wash, Marmaton, and Woodford Shale formations. Winter Mud also operates a Liquid Mud Plant and Mud Haulers LLC, Trucking Company.
Lavin also talks about the importance of community relations in oil and gas as well as faith. From the early days of American Oil when a pastor was contracted by oil companies to provide a path for an individual to make choices towards a positive ethical direction to today with Oilfield Connections International’s weekly conference-call-style prayer group.
The interview was conducted at a benefit for Teen Recovery Solutions at the Quail Creek Golf and Country Club in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Lavin is also the co-host of #FossilFuelFridays with Matt Hill.
