Welcome to the Desk and Derrick Club of Tulsa. Our organization, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was formed in 1952 and is a member in good standing of the Association of Desk and Derrick Clubs.

An organization whose purpose is to promote the education and professional development of individuals employed in or affiliated with the petroleum, energy and allied industries.

More History – In 1956 several members of the Tulsa Desk and Derrick Club attended the National Convention in New Orleans. The previous year the convention was held in New York.  On another note, one of the programs offered by the club to educate on petroleum products is The Magic Suitcase, which is still used today.  Here are a couple of newspaper clippings and a short history of The Magic Suitcase.
