Exhibit 99.1

  Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for Officers, Directors and Employees of
                                 Drilling, Inc.


     1. Treat in an Ethical Manner Those to Whom Drilling, Inc. Has an
Obligation

We are committed to honesty, just management, fairness, providing a safe and
healthy environment free from the fear of retribution, and respecting the
dignity due everyone.

For the communities in which we live and work we are committed to observe sound
environmental business practices and to act as concerned and responsible
neighbors, reflecting all aspects of good citizenship.

For our shareholders we are committed to pursuing sound growth and earnings
objectives and to exercising prudence in the use of our assets and resources.

     2. Promote a Positive Work Environment

All employees want and deserve a workplace where they feel respected, satisfied,
and appreciated. We respect cultural diversity and recognize that the various
communities in which we may do business may have different legal provisions
pertaining to the workplace. As such, we will adhere to the limitations
specified by law in all of our localities, and further, we will not tolerate
harassment or discrimination of any kind -- especially involving race, color,
religion, gender, age, national origin, disability, and veteran or marital
status.

Providing an environment that supports honesty, integrity, respect, trust,
responsibility, and citizenship permits us the opportunity to achieve excellence
in our workplace. While everyone who works for the Company must contribute to
the creation and maintenance of such an environment, our executives and
management personnel assume special responsibility for fostering a work
environment that is free from the fear of retribution and will bring out the
best in all of us. Supervisors must be careful in words and conduct to avoid
placing, or seeming to place, pressure on subordinates that could cause them to
deviate from acceptable ethical behavior.

     3. Protect Yourself, Your Fellow Employees, and the World We Live In

We are committed to providing a drug-free, safe, and healthy work environment,
and to observe environmentally sound business practices. We will strive, at a
minimum, to do no harm and where possible, to make the communities in which we
work a better place to live. Each of us is responsible for compliance with
environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations. Observe posted warnings
and regulations. Report immediately to the appropriate management any accident
or injury sustained on the job, or any environmental or safety concern you may
have.

     4. Keep Accurate and Complete Records

We must maintain accurate and complete Company records. Transactions between the
Company and outside individuals and organizations must be promptly and
accurately entered in our books in accordance with generally accepted accounting
practices and principles. No one should rationalize or even consider
misrepresenting facts or falsifying records. It will not be tolerated and will
result in disciplinary action.

     5. Obey the Law

We will conduct our business in accordance with all applicable laws and
regulations. Compliance with the law does not comprise our entire ethical
responsibility. Rather, it is a minimum, absolutely essential condition for
performance of our duties. In conducting business, we shall:

          a. Strictly Adhere to All Antitrust Laws

          Officer, directors and employees must strictly adhere to all antitrust
          laws. Such laws exist in the United States, the European Union, and in
          many other countries where the Company may conduct business. These
          laws prohibit practices in restraint of trade such as price fixing and
          boycotting suppliers or customers. They also bar pricing intended to
          run a competitor out of business; disparaging, misrepresenting, or
          harassing a competitor; stealing trade secrets; bribery; and
          kickbacks.

          b. Strictly Comply with All Securities Laws

          In our role as a publicly owned company, we must always be alert to
          and comply with the security laws and regulations of the United States
          and other countries.

               i. Do Not Engage in Speculative or Insider Trading

               Federal law and Company policy prohibits officers, directors and
               employees, directly or indirectly through their families or
               others, from purchasing or selling company stock while in the
               possession of material, non-public information concerning the
               Company. This same prohibition applies to trading in the stock of
               other publicly held companies on the basis of material,
               non-public information. To avoid even the appearance of
               impropriety, Company policy also prohibits officers, directors
               and employees from trading options on the open market in Company
               stock under any circumstances.

               Material, non-public information is any information that could
               reasonably be expected to affect the price of a stock. If an
               officer, director or employee is considering buying or selling a
               stock because of inside information they possess, they should
               assume that such information is material. It is also important
               for the officer, director or employee to keep in mind that if any
               trade they make becomes the subject of an investigation by the
               government, the trade will be viewed after-the-fact with the
               benefit of hindsight. Consequently, officers, directors and
               employees should always carefully consider how their trades would
               look from this perspective.

               Two simple rules can help protect you in this area: (1) Don't use
               non-public information for personal gain. (2) Don't pass along
               such information to someone else who has no need to know.

               This guidance also applies to the securities of other companies
               for which you receive information in the course of your
               employment at Drilling, Inc.

               ii. Be Timely and Accurate in All Public Reports

               As a public company, Drilling, Inc must be fair and accurate in
               all reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
               Commission. Officers, directors and management

                                       2
<PAGE>

               of Drilling, Inc are responsible for ensuring that all reports
               are filed in a timely manner and that they fairly present the
               financial condition and operating results of the Company.

               Securities laws are vigorously enforced. Violations may result in
               severe penalties including forced sales of parts of the business
               and significant fines against the Company. There may also be
               sanctions against individual employees including substantial
               fines and prison sentences.

          The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will certify
          to the accuracy of reports filed with the SEC in accordance with the
          Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Officers and Directors who knowingly or
          willingly make false certifications may be subject to criminal
          penalties or sanctions including fines and imprisonment.

     6. Avoid Conflicts of Interest

Our officers, directors and employees have an obligation to give their complete
loyalty to the best interests of the Company. They should avoid any action that
may involve, or may appear to involve, a conflict of interest with the company.
Officers, directors and employees should not have any financial or other
business relationships with suppliers, customers or competitors that might
impair, or even appear to impair, the independence of any judgment they may need
to make on behalf of the Company.

     Here are some ways a conflict of interest could arise:

     o    Employment by a competitor, or potential competitor, regardless of the
          nature of the employment, while employed by Drilling, Inc.

     o    Acceptance of gifts, payment, or services from those seeking to do
          business with Drilling, Inc.

     o    Placement of business with a firm owned or controlled by an officer,
          director or employee or his/her family.

     o    Ownership of, or substantial interest in, a company that is a
          competitor, client or supplier.

     o    Acting as a consultant to a Drilling, Inc customer, client or
          supplier.

     o    Seeking the services or advice of an accountant or attorney who has
          provided services to Drilling, Inc.

Officers, directors and employees are under a continuing obligation to disclose
any situation that presents the possibility of a conflict or disparity of
interest between the officer, director or employee and the Company. Disclosure
of any potential conflict is the key to remaining in full compliance with this
policy.

     7. Compete Ethically and Fairly for Business Opportunities

We must comply with the laws and regulations that pertain to the acquisition of
goods and services. We will compete fairly and ethically for all business
opportunities. In circumstances where there is reason to believe that the
release or receipt of non-public information is unauthorized, do not attempt to
obtain and do not accept such information from any source.


                                       3

If you are involved in Company transactions, you must be certain that all
statements, communications, and representations are accurate and truthful.

     8. Avoid Illegal and Questionable Gifts or Favors

The sale and marketing of our products and services should always be free from
even the perception that favorable treatment was sought, received, or given in
exchange for the furnishing or receipt of business courtesies. Officers,
directors and employees of Drilling, Inc will neither give nor accept business
courtesies that constitute, or could be reasonably perceived as constituting,
unfair business inducements or that would violate law, regulation or policies of
the Company, or could cause embarrassment to or reflect negatively on the
Company's reputation.

     9. Maintain the Integrity of Consultants, Agents, and Representatives

Business integrity is a key standard for the selection and retention of those
who represent Drilling, Inc. Agents, representatives, or consultants must
certify their willingness to comply with the Company's policies and procedures
and must never be retained to circumvent our values and principles. Paying
bribes or kickbacks, engaging in industrial espionage, obtaining the proprietary
data of a third party without authority, or gaining inside information or
influence are just a few examples of what could give us an unfair competitive
advantage and could result in violations of law.

     10. Protect Proprietary Information

Proprietary Company information may not be disclosed to anyone without proper
authorization. Keep proprietary documents protected and secure. In the course of
normal business activities, suppliers, customers, and competitors may sometimes
divulge to you information that is proprietary to their business. Respect these
confidences.

     11. Obtain and Use Company Assets Wisely

Personal use of Company property must always be in accordance with corporate
policy. Proper use of Company property, information resources, material,
facilities, and equipment is your responsibility. Use and maintain these assets
with the utmost care and respect, guarding against waste and abuse, and never
borrow or remove Company property without management's permission.

     12. Follow the Law and Use Common Sense in Political Contributions and
Activities

Drilling, Inc encourages its employees to become involved in civic affairs and
to participate in the political process. Employees must understand, however,
that their involvement and participation must be on an individual basis, on
their own time, and at their own expense. In the United States, federal law
prohibits corporations from donating corporate funds, goods, or services,
directly or indirectly, to candidates for federal offices -- this includes
employees' work time. Local and state laws also govern political contributions
and activities as they apply to their respective jurisdictions, and similar laws
exist in other countries.

     13. Board Committees.

The Company shall establish an Audit Committee, at the appropriate time,
empowered to enforce this Code of Ethics. The Audit Committee will report to the
Board of Directors at least once each year regarding the general effectiveness
of the Company's Code of Ethics, the Company's controls and reporting procedures
and the Company's business conduct.


                                       4

     14. Disciplinary Measures.

The Company shall consistently enforce its Code of Ethics and Business Conduct
through appropriate means of discipline. Violations of the Code shall be
promptly reported to the Audit Committee. Pursuant to procedures adopted by it,
the Audit Committee shall determine whether violations of the Code have occurred
and, if so, shall determine the disciplinary measures to be taken against any
employee or agent of the Company who has so violated the Code.

The disciplinary measures, which may be invoked at the discretion of the Audit
Committee, include, but are not limited to, counseling, oral or written
reprimands, warnings, probation or suspension without pay, demotions, reductions
in salary, termination of employment and restitution.

Persons subject to disciplinary measures shall include, in addition to the
violator, others involved in the wrongdoing such as (i) persons who fail to use
reasonable care to detect a violation, (ii) persons who if requested to divulge
information withhold material information regarding a violation, and (iii)
supervisors who approve or condone the violations or attempt to retaliate
against employees or agents for reporting violations or violators.
