About us
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.

We have successfully completed our most recent upgrade project. Currently rigged up at our Midland facility, Latshaw 19 has received a number of modifications that will ensure this rig will be able to handle future drilling requirements for many more years to come. One modification of many to highlight is the increased setback to 810,000 lbs. to better complement its 1.0M lb. hoisting capability. With this increased setback, Rig 19 will rack over 33,000’ of 5” DP or 30,000 of 5 ½” DP.

Just a reminder – on June 6th, we celebrated the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the largest military amphibious assault in world history. On that day, 133,000 soldiers from the US, UK, Canada, and their allies landed on the beaches of Normandy, France, to start the land assault on the German army. The assault was called Operation Overlord. The invasion force included 7,000 ships and landing craft manned by over 195,000 naval personnel from 8 allied countries. The landing beaches were given the code names Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, and Sword. There were 10,300 casualties during the landings. By June 30th, just 3 weeks later, over 850,000 men, 148,000 vehicles, and 570,000 tons of supplies had landed on the Normandy shores. Eleven months later, after a march across Europe to Berlin and fighting the Battle of the Bulge, the Germans signed an unconditional surrender on May 8, 1945 (VE-Day), thereby putting an end to the murderous reign of Hitler and the Nazi regime. Approximately 3 months later, the Japanese also signed an unconditional surrender after we dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As a reminder, our oil production helped us win WWII. The US supplied 85% of all the oil used by the Allied forces during the war. Neither Germany nor Japan had the oil resources to fight the war that the US did. Remember that when you hear all the left-wing progressives pushing their fantasy agenda to do away with fossil fuels. You can’t fight a war with windmills and solar panels.
