In Memory of Wal Fick

On behalf of the entire team at Zenex Drilling, I wish to share the sad news of the passing of our Director and dear friend, Friedrich Waldemar Appel (Wal) Fick, who died on 17 July 2025 in Townsville, Australia.
​
Wal was not only a founding figure in our business, but a remarkable leader whose vision, determination, and integrity shaped the culture and direction for both Zenex Drilling and Drillogy, which will carry these values into the future. His influence extended far beyond Australia and PNG, building relationships and earning respect across the global drilling community.

Wal was survived by his wife Cindy, and we extend our deepest sympathies to her and his extended family.

To honour Wal’s life and legacy, a funeral service will be held at Morleys Funeral Home, Townsville, on Thursday 31 July 2025 commencing at 10.00am (AEST).

For those unable to attend in person, the service will be live-streamed. You are warmly invited to join us in remembering Wal by visiting:

​Wal was a true friend, a trusted mentor, and an extraordinary man. He will be deeply missed and always remembered as we carry his legacy forward and continue our unwavering commitment to excellence for all our valued staff and business partners.
