Unit Corporation operates in the Energy sector, specifically within the Oil & Gas E&P (Exploration and Production) industry. This means the company is primarily involved in finding, extracting, and selling crude oil and natural gas. Unlike integrated oil companies that also handle refining and marketing, Unit focuses on the upstream segment of the energy value chain. Its activities include acquiring and developing oil and gas properties, as well as drilling wells for other companies through its Contract Drilling segment. The company's operations are heavily concentrated in the onshore regions of Oklahoma and Texas, two key areas for US oil and gas production.

Unit Corporation is headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a city with a strong historical connection to the oil and gas industry. The company's operations are primarily focused in the United States, with its producing oil and natural gas properties, unproved properties, and related assets located mainly in Oklahoma and Texas. Its Contract Drilling segment also serves other oil and gas companies drilling onshore wells in these same states. While Unit's activities are domestic, it plays a significant role in the energy supply chain of the mid-continent and Permian Basin regions. The company was incorporated in 1963, giving it decades of experience in these core markets.

Unit Corporation generates revenue through two primary business segments. The Oil and Natural Gas segment earns income by exploring for, acquiring, developing, and producing crude oil and natural gas, which it then sells to customers. The Contract Drilling segment provides onshore drilling services to other oil and natural gas companies, primarily in Oklahoma and Texas, charging fees for drilling wells. This dual structure allows Unit to benefit both from its own production and from service revenue, though it also means the company is exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices and drilling activity. By focusing on domestic onshore operations, Unit leverages its expertise in the US energy market.
