"They have erected the drilling tower in December and it is lighted up like Christmas three”- said the pub owner. “It is blinding when you are driving home at night"

....And I have a feeling that it says "MND SERVINSNI" on the top of it.

--------------

MND Servisni a.s. together with its predecessors has been occupying a significant position during the development of oil and gas industries in the Czech Republic. MND Servisni a.s and its predecessors have completed approximately 6,000 wells since starting their drilling activities at the territory of the former Czechoslovakia in 1919.

MND Servisni a.s. has been a full member of IADC – International Association of Drilling Contractors since 1999.

During the last 5 years (2002-2006), we completed more than 35 directional wells and 8 horizontal wells. The deepest well accomplished by our own resources is the Jablunka-1 well, drilled to the depth of 6506 m in 1982.

At the present time, our company owns 3 drilling rigs: National 1320-M, IDECO DIR-806 and IDECO BIR 7585. The machinery equipment of the drilling assemblies complies with API standard and with the regulation CBU no. 239/ 98 of the Code.

The drilling rigs are operated by trained personnel with years of experience in drilling services. The personnel is also trained on regular basis for handling of emergency situations that might arise during their work.

And I bet this is the rig they are using:

20.7.08 |In July 2008, the MND Service a.s., during the ceremonial occasion presented a new drilling rig Bentec 350 AC, one of the most modern in Europe. This drilling rig represents the environmental and safe solution, as well as technological progress, and complies with European regulations, including low emission and is fully ATEX certified. The maximum level of noise is 80 dB within one meter and 50 dB at a distance of 300 meters from the noise source. Purchase of drill rig represents investment amounting to nearly half a billion crowns
