Dewey Follett Bartlett, Jr.: Tulsa’s Champion of Independents
Falling into a mud pit as a child in Oklahoma didn’t deter Dewey F. Bartlett, Jr., from going into the oil and gas industry; in fact, it may have helped cement his decision, although it took him a while to come to that realization.
As the tale goes, in the late 1950s, Bartlett had accompanied his father, a geological engineer, who, along with Bartlett’s paternal grandfather, worked in the industry, to a well site, which he would do on occasion. Bartlett recalls wandering around while his dad talked with some of the workers on site.
“There was a hole dug into the ground where the drilling mud accumulated and then eventually was pumped out and disposed of – and I ended up falling into the mud pit, which was full of mud and real dirty,” Bartlett says.

Oil and gas operations are commonly found in remote locations far from company headquarters. Now, it's possible to monitor pump operations, collate and analyze seismic data, and track employees around the world from almost anywhere. Whether employees are in the office or in the field, the internet and related applications enable a greater multidirectional flow of information – and control – than ever before.
