**Short answer:** NAICS 213111 is the code for Drilling Oil and Gas Wells, in sector 21: Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction. The companies counted under it are mostly small: 67% have 200 or fewer employees, and 66% are headquartered in the United States.

## What is NAICS 213111?

NAICS 213111 is the code for Drilling Oil and Gas Wells. It belongs to sector 21: Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction. NAICS, the North American Industry Classification System, is the standard U.S. government agencies use to sort businesses by what they mainly do, and each digit narrows the category. Most of the companies counted also carry SIC 1381, Oil and gas well drilling, in the older SIC system (78%). NAICS is a North American system, so companies outside the US, Canada and Mexico are placed in it by classification.

- 34% of the companies counted have 50 or fewer employees, and the middle one is in the 51 to 200 range.
- The largest group is headquartered in the United States (66%). Within the US, Texas is the biggest state (53%).
