Company History

RigPro, Inc was founded in July, 1999 in Kilgore, Texas by Blake Hightower and Jerry Blalack. Blake and Jerry drew from their years of experience with Johnston-Lawrence to build RigPro into one of the most respected companies in the oilfield well servicing industry. Today Blake is the sole owner and president of RigPro.

Over the years, Blake has built a dedicated team that he considers to be some of the best in the business. In his own humble words, “No profile of RigPro would be complete without naming them – Jarrod Hightower, Ashley Jones, Randy Crocker, Dustin Marcell, Ashlyn Cadenas, Tex Rogers, Bryant Flournoy, and Tanner Thompson. I couldn’t do this business without them.” The combined experience of everyone at RigPro has given the company the know-how and durability to weather the ever-changing cycle of boom and bust in the oil industry.

Most of all, RigPro values the many customers that we have worked with over the years. Some of our customers have been in the business for over 40 years now and it is our pleasure to work with their second-generation of leadership.

RigPro has been an active member of the Association of Energy Service Companies (AESC) for many years now and Blake served as the program chairman for the East Texas chapter in the early 1980’s.
