Committed to Safety and Innovation in Well Services Support – Calfrac Well Services

In the oil and gas industry, one word is crucial for growth, service excellence and innovation: commitment. With this commitment as its driving force, Calfrac Well Services (‘Calfrac’) looks to continually improve not just its technology, but the industry. And they’re doing just that as a reputable well services company offering technical and field service support and products for well operations.

Since its foundation in 1999 by Doug Ramsey, along with Ron Mathison, Gordon Dibb, and Robert (Robbie) Roberts, Calfrac has seen consistent growth. With a brand promise that states “Do it Safely, Do it on Time, Do it Better,” the company has expanded their service line, offering hydraulic fracturing, coil tubing, and cement operations to complement its clients’ oil and natural gas production. Headquartered in Calgary, Calfrac also has operations in the U.S., Argentina, Mexico and Russia. With an unmatched client list, Calfrac currently holds 20 percent of Canada’s fracturing market, while also delivering service excellence to clients in all markets where it operates.

In-House Data Expertise for Increased Production

The in-house technical team at Calfrac enhances the value of its offerings. This level of support provides an opportunity for collaboration between the Calfrac team and its clients to better plan completions programs. “If our customers succeed, we succeed. So, anything we can do to help them to improve their wells, to do it faster, to do it safely, all while growing production and generating more work for ourselves – we’re invested in doing that,” explains Scott Treadwell, Calfrac’s Vice President of Capital Markets and Strategy.

In addition, the company maintains an in-house supply chain and logistics team. This means that all sand for fracturing programs originates from an internalized supply chain, thus preserving Calfrac’s high standards for quality control and minimizing logistical risk for its clients.

Commitment to Technology and Growth

As a result of the company’s unending commitment to safety, Calfrac has been able to increase its focus on innovation with positive effects on improved timing and efficiencies for its clients. While countless companies saw the recent economic downturn as a challenge, Calfrac saw this time as an opportunity. The company’s investment over the past few years in research and development culminated in 47 new products over 2015 and 2016. The newest product innovation? The CalVisc^TM Fracturing Fluid System (CalVisc).

CalVisc is a streamlined alternative to traditional slickwater hybrid fluid systems commonly used in oil and natural gas operations. The system is an answer to operational concerns regarding the use of complex chemical additives by reducing the need for such complexity, thereby increasing fracturing operators’ ability to focus on treatment. This newly developed product provides users with benefits not seen with the use of the slickwater hybrid fluid systems, such as the ability to alter viscosity and fracture geometry on demand. In addition, the use of CalVisc grants users more efficiency where jobs are completed more quickly with less water, leaving clients with improved economic and environmental well operations.

“Over the past 12 months Calfrac has seen an increase in activity that has allowed them to increase headcount by over 1000 employees worldwide. Their focus continues to be the addition of qualified individuals to its quality-driven crews.” To deliver the excellence in both products and services that Calfrac prides itself on, the company offers a breadth of training programs and a culture of safety and quality.

Unmatched Certifications: API Q2

Over and above its innovations and in-house expertise, the company holds a rarity in the industry: the API Q2 certification. While Calfrac has a number of certifications, the API Q2 certification is a testament to Calfrac’s exceptional focus on safety, consistency and quality across personnel and operations. “It’s a tangible, auditable focus on doing the same things the same way, to the same standard everywhere,” says Treadwell. Recognition or not, Calfrac has always valued safe execution, a focus formalized by the renowned certification, proving Calfrac’s success as an execution company committed to safety.

With an integrated focus on safety, quality and innovation, Calfrac continues to make incremental improvements to productivity each day. While Calfrac sees itself yesterday as its biggest competitor today, the company looks to provide sophisticated technology to its clients, maintaining its position in the market as a reputable service provider in the industry.
