Pioneers and Innovators
Thein Well continually strives to give its customers the best products and services at a reasonable cost. Thein has constantly improved its operating efficiency through innovation and advanced technology as demonstrated by the following examples:
- In the early 1900's, pioneered construction of large diameter wells by means of percussion drilling.
- In the 1960's, pioneered down-the-hole high-pressure air hammer drilling, thereby providing quick and efficient completion of wells in creviced rock formations.
- In the 1970's, became a pioneer company in its North Central operating region by utilizing television monitoring of wells to analyze and solve problems accurately, efficiently, and professionally.
- In the 1980's, developed and patented a procedure to improve the efficiency and to reduce or eliminate sand pumping problems in consolidated formation wells. (U.S. Patent #4,265,312; May 1981)
