Kevin Banks has been logging wells since before most of us were born—literally. In this episode, we sit down with one of the most experienced mud loggers in the Mid-Con to talk about the early days of pressure control, how the role has evolved, and what it really takes to last half a century in the field.From picking bits with a calculator the size of a brick to monitoring blowouts and mapping faults by feel, Kevin’s career reads like a field manual for the entire modern oilfield. We swap stories from our time at Revolution, laugh about 3 a.m. wake-up calls, and talk about what made the Wailu crew one of the best in the business.But there’s more—Kevin opens up about his wife’s journey into natural health, why they never really “retired,” and what it means to keep your purpose as the decades roll on.This one’s got legacy, laughs, and a hell of a lot of mud.🔗 Connect or reach out at:www.grizzledgeologist.com📌 Hashtags:#mudlogger #oilandgaslife #drillingrig #geology #wellsitegeology #blowouts
