Latshaw Drilling

The core philosophies and belief systems, which our company strives to deliver are all designed to keep our country on track to someday be energy independent. All are witness to the progress that technical advances have made and the resulting energy production we, as the United States of America can achieve. Latshaw Drilling is committed to that mission. As demand re-surged in 2005, we were fortunate to have customers willing to provide extended work contracts, which in turn allowed new SCR rig construction to expand. From that time we have focused on providing excellent equipment, meeting the new requirements of high capacity top drives, mud pumps and the next generation of AC Rigs. In October of 2012, Latshaw acquired the assets of Keen Energy, based in Stillwater, Oklahoma, which allowed our company to become one of the largest privately held drilling contractors in the USA. With a fleet of 41 rigs, including the newest NOV designed AC Ideal Rigs, Latshaw Drilling is positioned to meet our customers' requirements now and for the foreseeable future. All of this capability derives its real strength from our people and our many loyal customers; the men and women who work hard every day to bring America closer to energy independence.
