Cudd Energy Services began operations in 1977 under the name Cudd Pressure Control, Inc. in Woodward, Oklahoma with eight employees and a hydraulic snubbing unit. The level of activity was high in Western Oklahoma which allowed for immediate growth. A second snubbing unit was added in this region and then a third in Rock Springs, Wyoming in 1978. Expansion into Texas and Louisiana followed in 1979 with the acquisition of several other companies.

In 1980, Cudd Energy Services was acquired by Rollins and was merged into the oilfield services group.  In 1984, RPC Energy Services, Inc. was formed as a publicly traded concern consisting of Cudd Energy Services and Patterson Rental Tools.

From 1986 through 1995 international exposure and expansion, combined with a greatly improved domestic market, accelerated the growth of the company. In 1996, the corporate name changed to RPC Incorporated and today is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol RES.

Cudd Energy Services is now one of the premier full service well intervention companies in the industry.  Services include stimulation, hydraulic workover, coiled tubing, nitrogen, wireline, electric line, hot tapping, freezing, gate valve drilling, well control and industrial nitrogen.
