Drills for the “hole” world In 1986, my uncle and my dad started their own drilling company with a tired old drill that needed to be fixed daily.

My dad, Dan started in the oilfield in the 1960’s and went into welding and fabricating, during the 1981 recession he got a job Drilling water wells. In the early 90s we knew we needed newer equipment, and would search endlessly through the NDBG for a good deal. Not finding what we needed at a reasonable price lead us to start building our own drills and equipment. In 2004 I took a few large drilling contracts that required some specialized drills, from these drills the Derrick that we use today was born. Over the years since we have tested/ abused the design until I was happy enough to bring it to market. Today I am proud to say that we likely have more time and money into Research and development of drilling equipment and rigs then all the other companies combined. We know what will work and what won’t work.... and why.

I do eat like a starving trash panda after smelling it all day. But on a serious note, on this Thanksgiving day (in Canada), the Derex family would just like to say thank you to all of our customers, followers and supporters. It's because of you that we get to continue doing what we love, and for that we are grateful and thankful.

Welcome to the Derex Family, Roarke Well Drilling! A new 1340-350 DR joins the Roarke fleet in New York, featuring the first CAT C13 deck engine

09/28/2026

Spent some time down in New York with Roarke Well Drilling and their new Derex 1340-350 DR. This is the first 1340-350 DR with the CAT C13 deck engine, and I must say, she purrs like a kitten.

Our first hole, we ended up setting casing through the initial 50' of soft bedrock and found water at 120'. The second well was 150' feet of soft bedrock and found water at 300'.

I just love watching our drills put smiles on our customers faces.

When paired with the Ford F600, the Derex 1340 DR becomes the most compact dual rotary drilling rig in the world!

A throwback to me drilling in BC with the first Derex DR "prototype". It has come a long way since then! We ended up striking water at 178' producing 70GPM, good times.
