Herb would take his sons drilling with him from the time they were able to ride tricycles and the current owner, Dave Potts drilled his first well with a cable tool rig when he was 14 years old.

Dave Potts took over ownership of the company in 1992 and the name was changed to Potts Drilling. In 1998 the company was incorporated and became Potts Drilling, Inc.

Potts Drilling, Inc. is now owned by Dave & Carolyn Potts.
