We take oil and gas exploration for granted in Louisiana because it’s so heavily engrained into our day-to-day lives.


But the process is complicated and not as easy as some tend to believe.

Workers are using high-priced machinery and tools to literally extract oil from the surface of Gulf of Mexico – often having to go through thousands of feet of water to reach the bottom.

It’s a delicate process which requires skilled hands, thousands of man hours and flawless equipment to happen safely.


That’s where Surbo Tubular Services comes in.

Open since 1958, the business is located at 8861 West Park Avenue in Houma – strategically located to service the Gulf of Mexico, onshore, shelf jobs and deep-water exploration.

According to the company’s website, Surbo Tubular has more than 50 years experience and has created thousands of tool joints, while also earning the distinction of being a licensed and certified threader.


“(We’ve) steadily grown since our inception,” the business’s website, www.surbo.com, reads. “(We) enjoy a strong business relationship with over 80 contractors, rental tool companies and major petroleum producers. Surbo Tubular Services, Inc., takes pride in producing the highest of quality services and products.”

That’s a mantra that hasn’t changed over the years – even as the company’s ownership structure has shifted around since the business opened its doors.

According to the business’s website, Surbo Tubular’s doors were opened in 1958 when Heldenbrand, Inc., was formed – the company, which later evolved into the business we know today.


Heldenbrand, Inc., operated successfully for more than 15 years before being purchased by Chromalloy American Corporation in 1974.

In 1979, the company became an independent entity of Delta Services, Inc., which carried the company into the 1980s.

The company was born into its current form when Surbo Tubular Services, Inc., purchased the Heldenbrand assets of Delta Services, Inc.


Since that time, the business has steadily grown and diversified, now possessing a wide range of services and offerings tailored to meet the individual needs of each client.

The company specializes in Surbo-Build – the originator of fast, economical rebuilding of tool joints, using a submerged arc welding.

The company also does hardband repair, using state-of-the-art Plasma Arc removal of defective hardbands.


Surbo Tubular specializes in cement drilling, while allows them to remove cement from tubular goods and accessories.

In addition, the company can conduct drill stem sub fabrication and machine shop services.

All at a high level, too.


According to the Surbo Tubular website, the company has acquired multiple certifications over the years, including from the American Petroleum Institute and Grant Prideco.
