Inside Look at NOV Grant Prideco

A big thank you to Grant Prideco™ and NOV for hosting AADE UH and API Houston UH students at your manufacturing plant! It was an incredible experience to witness the intricate process of designing, heat treating, and finishing drill pipes and connections. Seeing the dedication and precision behind every step gave us a deeper appreciation for the hard work involved in production.

Special thanks to Hector Handal, Charles (Joey) Eppler, and Billy Tramel for sharing your expertise and insights. We’re also grateful to Mayra Martinez and Richard Montes for your key roles in organizing this unforgettable event.
