Buckman Jet Drilling, Inc was incorporated in Delaware as a C corporation in 2000 by Dr. William G. Buckman Ph.D., a former Physics Professor. After forty years of scientific research, he decided to focus his creative abilities on improving the oil and gas drilling business. Dr. Buckman applied principles of physics together with advances in metallurgy and more reliable tubular goods and equipment to invent and patent tools and methods designed specifically for micro-boring oil producing rock strata to economically enhance oil/gas wells.
