Double K Drilling was founded in 2010 by Kasey Swan and Kori Swan Lewis from a market that needed an efficient and highly mobilized rig that wasn’t readily available at the time.  Starting from scratch the Swans built their first rig to match the needs of the client, environment and shale formation.   In a short amount of time Double K Drilling developed a proven track record and needed more rigs to meet customer demands.  In 2013 the second rig was built from a blank slate and in 2014 another was designed and built from the ground up.  Being aware of the USA emerging as a major energy producer, Double K Drilling seized the opportunity in 2017 to expand its operation in the Permian Basin by acquiring Desta Drilling.  This acquisition enabled Double K to have access to the Permian Basin and a fleet of 20 land based rigs.  Double K Drilling has grown its employee base from 15 employees in 2010 to over 200 employees in 2018.  Since inception Double K Drilling has successfully drilled over 500 wells in various formations and downhole conditions.
