History
The company was founded in 1920 as a joint venture between Walt Helmerich II and Bill Payne, who met on an oil rig in South Bend, Texas. The company moved to Tulsa six years later.
After benefiting and growing as a result of shale drilling, as of 2015, the company was contracting as lower prices in crude oil led to cuts in use of their oil rigs.
