The Truth Behind Winning Wells: Why Teamwork Comes First

Guided by a clear vision, Guy Pryor founded MCWL in 1989 to be more than a geological services company but to create a place where innovation and teamwork worked hand in hand from the start. He believed that with the right people, working together with integrity and purpose, any challenge in the industry could be overcome. Those early days were defined by long hours, strong partnerships, and a drive to set a higher standard for geological services. Decades later, those same principles of trust and collaboration remain at the heart of every well we touch.

A Vision That Lives On

Today, Guy’s vision comes to life through the people who make up MCWL. Under the leadership of CEO Emily Benson, a team of geologists, analysts, and engineers work side by side, building trust with each other and with every client they serve.

At headquarters, collaboration sets the pace for everything that follows. Teams align goals, share insights, and make quick decisions that ripple out to field operations. Across desks and meeting rooms, conversations turn into action, ensuring every detail is in place to support the crews on site. The energy is focused and purposeful, built on the knowledge that what happens here shapes the work in the field.

In field operations, that focus comes to life. Geologists navigate high-stakes environments, adapting in real-time while staying closely connected to teams at headquarters. Hours are long and conditions are unpredictable, but trust and communication flow constantly between both worlds. This connection between strategy and execution defines MCWL’s approach to teamwork. Together, people across different environments move as one to deliver results you can count on.

Teamwork That Shapes the Future

At MCWL, teamwork has always been the force that drives us forward. It has carried us from our earliest wells in Oklahoma to projects across the United States, and now it’s guiding our expansion into South America. As we grow into new regions and partner with new clients, this culture of teamwork will remain at the heart of everything we do.

The future of MCWL is one where innovation and teamwork continue to move hand in hand, setting a higher standard for how our industry operates. From headquarters to field operations, across borders and time zones, our people work as one to deliver results you can count on, not just today, but for years to come.
