Dear Mr. Schwall:
Pursuant to Rule 461(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Helmerich & Payne International Drilling Co., a Delaware Corporation and Helmerich & Payne, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as parent guarantor (together, the “Registrants”), hereby request that the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-205219) the “Registration Statement”) be accelerated so that it will become effective no later than 9:00 a.m., Washington, D.C. time, on July 16, 2015, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
The Registrants confirm that:
(i) should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Registration Statement;
(ii) the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective does not relieve the Registrants from their full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement; and
(iii) the Registrants may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
We request that we be notified of such effectiveness by a telephone call to Katherine Ashley of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP at (202) 371-7706.
