Helmerich & Payne, Inc1437 South Boulder Ave, Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States

  The story of Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (H&P) 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.
