The Proven Leader in Drilling Technology, Environmental Awareness, Safety & Profitability
RP Drilling Inc. (RPDI) operates on the North Slope of Alaska with eight of the most unique oil and gas land drilling rigs specially designed to drill oil wells in extreme conditions. In 1998 RPDI became a wholly-owned formed company. Since the establishment of RPDI, the company's dominant operating philosophy has been to recognize client needs and aggressively develop quality, economical products and services to satisfy those needs. We focus on total quality. Being ISO 9001:2017, ISO 14001:2015 and OHSAS 18001:2018 certified, RPDI works to this internationally accepted quality standard adhering to all the essential Health and Safety Management System. We have a Quality Management System which is constantly reviewed and upgraded to serve our valuable Clients systematically and efficiently.
RPDI currently has over 40 employees with the main office located in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. We have demonstrated our commitment to remain competitive in the industry by continually reinvesting in the resources, our employees and rigs. Investment in our fleet has helped to ensure profitability and continued joint venture partnerships.
RPDI proudly celebrates a number of “firsts” in the industry. Our Rig 9 was the first self-propelled, wheel-mounted rig developed for the North Slope. We later applied that same moving system to Rigs 14, 15 and 16. We are also the first drilling company on the North Slope to use high line power and dual-fuel turbines. Rig 141 is the only land-operated rig to drill five winter exploration wells in a single winter season for three consecutive years.
We are the proven leader in drilling technology, environmental awareness, safety, and profitability.
