Cyclone Drilling is celebrating 50 years of successful operations. The company was founded in 1975 by James Hladkly and Don Delamonte who pooled their life savings and purchased an old drilling rig. They refurbished the rig, landed a contract and built a very successful regional drilling contractor with operations in four states. You can read more about this American success story in the 50 th anniversary edition of the company newsletter which will be published on this website in the coming weeks.
