Top Drilling Company
Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (H&P) is a top drilling company in US that began in 1920, when Walter “Walt” Helmerich II—a thrill-seeking aviator from Chicago, and William “Bill” Payne—a hard-working microbiologist from Shawnee, Oklahoma, met on a Star 29 cable rig in South Bend, Texas. From this unlikely pairing was born a partnership, a deep friendship and the oil and gas drilling company that still bears their names.
Fast forward 100 years, Helmerich & Payne continues to lead the drilling industry through a commitment to innovation and unmatched reliability. And by expanding our drilling operations to meet the increasing demands of a complex and globalized industry, we’ve established ourselves as an industry trailblazer and trusted partner.

AKITA Drilling Ltd. is a top drilling company in US & Canada was formed in January of 1993 through a Plan of Arrangement with our predecessor, ATCO Drilling Ltd. At its inception, AKITA operated 26 drilling rigs in Canada. In addition to Canadian operations, AKITA also conducted drilling operations in the United States.
In 2000, AKITA re-established significant operations in Canada’s northern territories. As technology evolved, we were among the earliest adopters of pad rigs, including their use in the development of heavy oil and shale gas resources. This quickly became a market strength for AKITA, and today pad rigs make up approximately half of our deep capacity fleet. In 2018, AKITA Drilling Ltd. and Xtreme Drilling Corp. combined the two companies through a Plan of Arrangement to create a leading intermediate North American land drilling contractor. The combined company, operating under the AKITA Drilling name, has a fleet of 40 high-spec drilling rigs with operations in major resource basins in the US and Canada.
