WELL SERVICING

We provide engineering and project management services for the final phase of the oilfield lifecycle, including well and pipeline abandonment, facility decommissioning, inactive well management and regulatory compliance services. Furthermore, CCS currently has an asset base of 140 service rigs, making us the third largest well servicing company in Canada. CCS' contract oilfield services include:

  • Well completion - bringing newly drilled wells on stream
  • Workovers - reworking mature wells and enhancing production
  • Well abandonments - hardware extraction from the well at the end of its life cycle and plugging the producing formation
  • Swabbing - extracting wellbore fluids

We offer advanced technologies such as directional and horizontal re-entries and a trailer mounted heavy double that can perform re-entry or horizontal activities on deeper wells.
