Since 1939
The George N. Mitchell Drilling Company has provided oil and gas producers with dependable drilling and completion services. From humble beginnings in Seminole, Oklahoma to the resurgence of Horizontal Drilling in the Illinois Basin in the 21st century, Mitchell Drilling has the strength of longevity and the loyalty of clients as the foundation of our commitment to the exploration and production of America’s oil and gas resources.

We owe our reputation as “the preferred oil and gas service company” to our experienced engineers, geologists, and production technicians who operate one of the finest fleets of rotary and workover rigs in the Illinois Basin. Almost all of our employees have grown up in the Basin and carry the knowledge of its geological history in their hearts and minds.

Located in the Heart of the Illinois Basin
Headquartered in Carmi, Illinois, we are located in White County, the largest oil producing county in the state and in the Basin. Our proximity to major oil and gas fields in Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky is an advantage when mobilizing rigs and equipment.

Contractor and Partner
Our reputation for providing “real-time from the site” communications, safe, and environmentally conscious oil and gas drilling and completion services has encouraged a number of our clients to explore investment partnering relationships with us. These alliances can prove beneficial in lowering overall well costs and in increasing the profitable production of fossil fuels for our country.
