OUR HISTORY
Established in 2007 by a collective group of like-minded individuals, Bonanza Drilling was the culmination of their dream to combine their years of experience into a drilling company that was different. Through a combination of hard work, a healthy environment and a focus on creating a family oriented atmosphere, Bonanza Drilling became just that.
Starting with two “Elite” single drilling rigs, Bonanza Rig 1 went to work in November, 2007 and Bonanza Rig 2 followed shortly thereafter in January, 2008. It wasn’t long before talk of the quality of Bonanza Drilling’s rigs and the people behind them resonated throughout the industry. With that, the need for a third Bonanza rig became a reality in the fall of 2008 to meet operator demands.
Bonanza Drilling’s reputation continued to spread through 2009 when drilling activity in Canada had decreased by 50%. We added our fourth rig to the fleet in 2010 and subsequently built a new rig each year with Bonanza rig 9 going to work in early 2015.
A rig is only as good as the hands that drive it, that is why Bonanza has always had our hands have an active role in all our rig builds.
