Serving the Oklahoma Oil & Gas Industry Since 1980
In 1980, David Hough started Hough Oilfield Service with a ’66 Mack and a set of casing tongs. By 1982, the business expanded to include a power swivel, reverse circulating unit, cased hole and open hole fishing and rental tools. In 1984, he purchased an power swivel, reverse circulating unit, along with additional fishing and rental tools that would make up the contents of the first yard that was built in ’84 in Copan, Okla. In early ’88 an additional yard was established in Cushing, Okla.
In ’95 the company became HOTCO and added an additional yard in Ada, Okla. HOTCO has weathered the downturns of the industry right there beside you. Through it all HOTCO’s provided the very best level of service, something that is never going to change. HOTCO is the oldest privately owned tool company in Oklahoma and something HOTCO’s determined to make sure doesn’t change.

David A. Hough, HOTCO’s founder, passed away on November 26th, 2018. David was a respected businessman in the community and one of the more revered fishing tool supervisors in Oklahoma.
David owned and operated HOTCO for over 37 years. David will always be remembered for his hard work, loyalty, and dedication to his family, customers, and employees. David took great pride in the fact that HOTCO is the largest privately owned fishing and rental tool company in Oklahoma.
