Lloyd Noble was born Nov. 30, 1896, in the young train depot town of Ardmore in what was then Indian Territory. His parents, Samuel Roberts and Hattie Noble, were pioneer merchants from New York, and Samuel and his brother, Edward, ran a hardware store in Ardmore. As a young boy, Lloyd delivered goods to the shop’s customers – mainly farmers and ranchers from the area.
In the 1920s and ’30s, Noble helped revolutionize the oil and gas drilling industry. He capitalized on highly organized crews and the latest technology to drill deeper and faster than his contemporaries. Speed and skill resulted in rapid growth, and, within 15 years, Noble’s swath of drilling rigs spread across North America.
