Check-6 uses its cadre of military-trained experts to assist oil & gas companies with the tools they need to make their operations leaner, stronger, and more profitable. The company was formed when Gordon Tschritter, a deepwater drilling engineer, contacted Brurud, a highly decorated Navy fighter pilot. Tschritter had read a report about ways to improve safety and performance standards in the oil and gas industry, and the report had 2 recommendations: that the oil & gas industry would be well-served if the best practices of Navy aircraft carrier pilots were adopted and if the fighter pilots themselves were the instructors to the oil and gas industry. Check-6 founded in 2007, has grown exponentially to an international company with more than 400 employees and contractors worldwide.
