Unit Corporation is a small American energy company based in Oklahoma that does three main things: it drills for oil and natural gas, it owns and operates drilling rigs that it rents to other companies, and it gathers and processes natural gas through pipelines. Its customers include other oil and gas producers who need drilling equipment or help moving their gas to market. The company operates almost entirely in the United States, focused on regions like the Mid-Continent area of Oklahoma and surrounding states.

Unit makes money by selling the oil and gas it produces, charging day-rates to rent out its drilling rigs, and collecting fees for processing and transporting natural gas. With a market cap of roughly $300 million, it is a small player in a large industry dominated by much bigger competitors. The company emerged from bankruptcy in 2021, which cleaned up its debt load, but its main risk remains its heavy exposure to volatile oil and natural gas prices, which directly affect revenue across all three of its business segments.
