The Golden Driller in Tulsa, Oklahoma is a towering tribute to the state's oil industry history. Standing at 76 feet tall and weighing nearly 22 tons, this monumental figure is a symbol of the city's oil heritage. Originally erected in 1966, the Golden Driller is a striking sight with its mustard-colored muscular physique and distinctive features.
Designed by Greek immigrant George S. Hondronastas, the Golden Driller is a beloved landmark that has stood the test of time. Despite some controversy over its appearance, the statue has become an iconic representation of the petroleum industry's contribution to Tulsa and beyond. Visitors can marvel at this impressive structure, which even survived a temporary transformation into Elon Musk in a bid to attract a Tesla factory.
