So, the list is subject to errors.
I received an e-mail this morning suggesting that two of the companies (GasFrac and Key Energy) are no longer in the Bakken, and that I have missed at least one company, Trican.
From its website:
Trican is an international pressure pumping company with operations on four continents and corporate headquarters in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Trican Well Service provides pressure pumping services to the United States through its US operations. With US regional headquarters in Houston, Texas, and operational facilities in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, and North Dakota, Trican provides pressure pumping services to the Barnett Shale, Fayetteville Shale, Haynesville Shale, Woodford Shale, East Texas, the Eagle Ford Shale, the Permian Region, Northwest Oklahoma, the Bakken Shale and the Marcellus region.
In 2007, Trican Well Service Ltd. acquired Liberty Pressure Pumping L.P., a provider of pressure pumping services in Texas. With a solid base of employees, equipment and service excellence, Liberty was a strategic addition to Trican’s growing international operations, and was re-branded to Trican in 2009. In early 2010, Trican acquired a private stimulation services company based in Shawnee, Oklahoma, increasing the Company’s fracturing horsepower capacity and bringing on additional acidizing assets.Wow, that sounds familiar, but a quick googling of the MillionDollarWay did not yield any other Trican hits. So, this may be the first Trican posting on the site.
Let's see: if they got to Minot last May (2012), this will be their first North Dakota winter. There's a lot of misinformation out there about winters in North Dakota. They really aren't that bad. Just joking. Smile. Good luck. Wishing Trican all the best.
And please correct me if the information is wrong about the other two companies mentioned near the top of the post. Thank you. Key Energy website says they are still located in Williston.
Oh, one last thing: located in Minot. Very, very interesting.
