Rogers Oil Tool Services, Inc. was established in 1978 by Tommie L. Rogers.  At that time, there was a big demand for service and repair of all major manufacturers’ drill-pipe spinners, tubing tongs and casing tongs. It became apparent, that the major manufacturers were concentrating their efforts on selling, and not on servicing of the equipment. Henceforth, this need to service the equipment was the spark that started Rogers Oil Tool Services, Inc.

Over the next several years, Rogers Oil Tool Services, Inc. continued to provide service and repair of drill-pipe spinners and tongs. However, in 1984, we were requested to assist the well control market by providing power tong support services. Rogers Oil Tool Services, Inc. began working with well control firefighters such as Red Adair, Boots & Coots, Wild Well Control, Otis Engineering, Cudd Pressure Control, Hydraulic Well Control, Black Devil, Italian Knight and other international well control companies.  Rogers Oil Tool Services, Inc. became a household name in the well control market because of their dependability and credibility.  While providing power tong support services to these well control companies, we were requested to develop equipment and provide rental and service to accommodate the higher torque drilling technology that the industry was experiencing. Consequently, Rogers Oil Tool Services, Inc. began discussions with several companies to meet the need of the industry.
