This is a story about people. About their commitment to doing what's right, about their courage in the face of adversity, about their creativity in overcoming challenges.
It is a story that unfolds on a worldwide stage, from the wind-swept plains of west Texas to the jungles of South America. It is a story that reflects the twists and turns of global events in what has been called the American Century - and the Century of Oil.
Through it all, there runs a common thread, an unbroken theme of strong core values. Commitment. Courage. Creativity. And above all, integrity.
This is a story of a great company and its people. A company that survived and flourished when others failed because it was able to ride the waves of change on a course unswervingly governed by the core values that have always defined its culture.
This is the story of Helmerich & Payne and its 75 - year tradition of excellence.
