We aim to build a community of passionate students, bridge the gap between academia and industry through expert insights, practical experiences, and career opportunities, and advocate for sustainable and innovative drilling practices. IADC is dedicated to enhancing the interests of the oil-and-gas and geothermal drilling and completion industry worldwide. Membership is open to any company involved in oil and gas exploration, drilling or production, well servicing, oilfield manufacturing, or other rig-site services. Founded in 1940, IADC’s mission is to improve industry health, safety, and environmental practices; advance drilling and completion technology; and champion responsible standards, practices, legislation, and regulations that provide for safe, efficient, and environmentally sound drilling operations worldwide.
