About Nucor: A Full-Service Drilling Contractor Since 1978
Built in Wyoming, Trusted Across the Rockies
Since 1978, Nucor Drilling has been a leading drilling contractor rooted in Wyoming’s rugged terrain and extreme environmental conditions. What began as an environmental and mineral-drilling operation has grown into a full-service drilling and field-support company trusted by clients across the Rockies.
Our commitment to clients stems from a deep understanding of real-world field conditions and the flexibility to support a diverse range of projects, from environmental investigations to water well installations to mine subsidence mitigation.
Decades of Hands-On Experience
With more than 40 years in business, we have a proven track record built on practical experience. We serve established client bases in environmental remediation, energy, and mining sectors with a focus on safety and performance. Our crews approach each project with a practical, problem-solving mindset shaped by years spent drilling in some of the most demanding landscapes in the United States. That heritage of hard-earned knowledge sets us apart from other companies and helps us build long-term relationships across industries.

Our crews understand the importance of well integrity and performance in every application.

Our approach balances technical excellence with environmental stewardship.
