Our Story

At Varel Energy Solutions, our story began over seven decades ago with a bold vision: to deliver smarter, practical product to a fast-evolving energy industry.

What started in 1947 as a mining drill bit manufacturing business has grown into a global leader in consumable downhole products—serving operators and service companies in every major energy-producing region around the world.
As a leading product solutions business, Varel has helped shape the evolution of drilling and well construction performance from the ground up. Our legacy is built on partnership. We work side-by-side with our customers to navigate complex environments, improve supply chain economic, and maximize performance across the entire lifecycle of the wellbore.
