Our History
Built From Fresh Ideas and Experienced Professionals
Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, ICON Drilling was founded to bring a modern, service-focused alternative to contract drilling and rig manufacturing.
A Different Kind of Drilling Company
ICON Drilling Services International Ltd. is different. We are part of the modern energy wave, a smart, dynamic company built on fresh ideas from experienced professionals, engaged in both contract services and rig manufacturing. Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, ICON is highly service-focused and works to meet our clients’ needs with a fleet of new, modern, and technically advanced AC triple rigs, specifically designed to optimize efficiencies and dramatically reduce downtime and labor costs.
Our business success is built on cooperative teamwork, from our management team to our highly skilled, devoted, and professional field staff. As a privately held company, we make decisions based on our corporate values: we provide a collaborative, friendly, and relaxed work environment where respect for one another is key and every voice is heard.
We work hard to remain a forward-thinking, well-organized, well-funded, and well-supported company, passionate about growing a safe, profitable, and well-respected international services company. Our focus is clearly on the drilling paradigm, but most of all, we’re fixated on reaching your total depth objectives in the safest and most efficient way possible.
Every Newly Built ICON Rig Is
- Safe
- Fast drilling – AC/VFD or SCR controlled
- Energy efficient
- Fast-moving, location to location
What That Means for Our Customers
ICON’s newly built rigs provide a compelling value proposition well above legacy mechanical and DC equipment. The fine control of key drilling parameters offered by ICON’s drilling systems allows same-class wells to be drilled in half the time required by mechanical or DC equipment. The combination of ICON’s “Safety by Design” engineering process, more efficient mobilization, and AC/VFD drilling controls allows our customers to drill more wells per rig, per year.
