Capital Drilling Equipment

VetcoGray and Hydril Pressure Control have been building their reputations as highly skilled and experienced suppliers of drilling equipment to the oil and gas industry since 1906 and 1933 respectively. VetcoGray, then Regan Forge, began manufacturing crown blocks and traveling blocks for the California exploration market, and Hydril started by inventing the first hydraulically operated blowout preventer and later that decade, the annular blowout preventer. Together today, we are one of the world's leading suppliers of extreme environment deepwater drilling systems. Our combined legacy of technology development and innovative solutions puts us in the forefront of offshore drilling, especially for deepwater exploration, as VetcoGray and Hydril Pressure Control supplied the complete deepwater drilling system for the world's first, and to date, only, exploration well in water depths greater than 10,000 ft. We provide a complete line of Capital Drilling Equipment for land and offshore drilling applications.
