A third-generation family company founded in 1959 by Ray D. Dickirson, The Dickirson Corporation remains veteran-owned from its base in Ripley, West Virginia. Built around its founder’s original welding-shop and truck-dealership concept, the company has spent more than six decades serving oil and gas fields across the United States and overseas. Its own SR-60 and SR-80 rigs, introduced in the early 2000s, grew from that long experience supporting well-service customers.
