For well over 100 years the oil and
gas industry has
shaped America and the world. Men have risked
their lives and wealth in pursuit of "Black Gold". The
products and by-products of the oil and gas industry
are contained in every facet of our lifestyle. The oil
and gas industry provides the energy to power our
transportation needs, energy with which things like
commercial flying would be impossible. It provides
the energy for electricity and to heat our homes and
businesses, fertilizers and insecticides to
produce our foods, tubing, fitters, pumps, containers,
disposable syringes and a myriad of other supplies
that make our healthcare infinitely better and
increasing our life expectancies.
It provides the foundation for a myriad of consumer products made
from plastics, vinyl's, acetates, polycarbonates, polyurethanes
and acrylics that make our world a better place to live. The men
and women of the oil and gas industry diligently find, extricate
and produce the building blocks if and entire worldwide economy.
Drilling for oil has always been backbreaking labor. Drillers, floormen,
mechanics, helpers and others toll for weeks and months to bring
in a single well which may produce a little or a lot, or in some
cases nothing at all. People working on drilling rigs, must not
only face what mother nature brings, but they must be always on
the lookout for any number of catastrophes that could and do cost
them their lives. It is to this group on people we dedicate the
first of a five part series entitled "Tribute to the Oil and
Gas Industry."
The Drilling edition is the first series in the Tribute to the Oil
and Gas Industry to be produced. It will be followed with other
editions dedicated to Production, Exploration, Refining and Support.
Follow-on editions will be offered first to the buyers of preceding
editions in the series. By purchasing the drilling
edition you are guaranteed the same number on following guns if
you want to purchase them.
Only 500 Tribute to the Oil and Gas Industry - Drilling Guns will
be produced. They are offered on a first come - first serve basis.
This is a unique opportunity to own what will surely become a cherished
piece of your family history that you (and your children or grandchildren)
can display with pride. These are memorable gifts that demonstrate
to someone that they are a remarkable and important part of your
life or business.
