Pioneer Drilling Company: Growing Despite Challenging Economy

Also, the company, as should have been mentioned, is in the gas drilling business, I think, but don't hold me to it. It has a nice name, that evokes images of bearded guys in crumpled, sweaty hats working outdoors in hostile conditions. (blowing dust and such, maybe a swarm of locusts, occasionally) Very cool. Management seems to have real gumption, whatever that is.
