Geo N Mitchell Drilling Co Inc1239 County Road 1500 N , Carmi, Illinois, United States

The Geo. N. Mitchell Drilling Company had humble beginnings in 1939 when five Mitchell brothers serviced wells for the Sinclair Oil Company in Seminole, Oklahoma.  Mitchell Drilling endures today because of the experience gained from those who lived and worked in the oil fields before us...and from the wisdom to listen and to learn from their mistakes.  In the 1940s when the oil boom exploded in the Illinois Basin, George Mitchell’s father, Thomas, and his four brothers migrated to Carmi, Illinois and formed Mitchell Brothers Drilling and Trucking Companies.
