About CES Energy Solutions

CES Energy Solutions Corp. designs, implements, and manufactures consumable fluids and specialty chemicals for the North American oil and gas industry. The company operates under various trade names and brands, such as AES Drilling Fluids, JACAM Chemicals, Catalyst Oilfield Services, Superior Weighting Products, Canadian Energy Services, PureChem Services, StimWrx Energy Services, Sialco Materials Ltd, and Clear Environmental Solutions. The company is a major provider of technically advanced consumable chemical solutions throughout the life-cycle of the oilfield. This includes total solutions at the drill-bit, at the point of completion and stimulation, at the wellhead and pump-jack, and finally through to the pipeline and midstream market. At the drill-bit, the company’s designed drilling fluids encompass the functions of cleaning the hole, stabilizing the rock drilled, controlling subsurface pressures, enhancing drilling rates, and protecting potential production zones while conserving the environment in the surrounding surface and subsurface area. At the point of completion and stimulation, the company’s designed chemicals form a critical component of fracturing solutions or other forms of remedial well stimulation techniques. The shift to horizontal drilling and multistage fracturing with long horizontal well completions has been responsible for significant growth in the drilling fluids and completion and stimulation chemicals markets. At the wellhead and pump-jack, the company’s designed production and specialty chemicals provide down-hole solutions for production and gathering infrastructure to maximize production and reduce costs of equipment maintenance. Key solutions include corrosion inhibitors, demulsifiers, H2S scavengers, paraffin control products, surfactants, scale inhibitors, biocides and other specialty products. Further, specialty chemicals are used throughout the pipeline and midstream industry to aid in hydrocarbon movement and manage transportation and processing challenges, including corrosion, wax build-up and H2S. The company operates in all major basins throughout the United States (U.S.), including Permian, Eagleford, Bakken, Marcellus and Scoop/Stack, as well as in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) with an emphasis on servicing the ongoing major resource plays; Montney, Duvernay, Deep Basin and SAGD. In the U.S., the company operates under the trade names AES Drilling Fluids (AES), JACAM Chemicals (JACAM), Catalyst Oilfield Services (Catalyst) and Superior Weighting Products (Superior Weighting). In Canada, the company operates under the trade names Canadian Energy Services, PureChem Services (PureChem), StimWrx Energy Services Ltd. (StimWrx), Sialco Materials Ltd. (Sialco), and Clear Environmental Solutions (Clear). The JACAM, Catalyst, PureChem, and Sialco brands are vertically integrated manufacturers of advanced specialty chemicals. In addition to being basic in the manufacture of oilfield chemicals, JACAM, Catalyst, and PureChem have expanding distribution channels into the oilfield. The StimWrx brand provides near matrix stimulation and remediation of oil, gas, and injection wells in Western Canada and the U.S. The Canadian Energy Services and AES brands are focused on the design and implementation of drilling fluids systems and completion solutions sold directly to oil and gas producers. The Superior Weighting brand custom grinds minerals, including barite, which is the weighting agent utilized in most drilling fluid systems. Clear is a complimentary business division that supports the operations and augments the product offerings in the WCSB. Clear is the company’s environmental division, providing environmental consulting, water management and water transfer services, and drilling fluids waste disposal services primarily to oil and gas producers active in the WCSB. The company continues to invest in research and development of new technologies and in the top-end scientific talent that can develop and refine these technologies. The company operates nine separate lab facilities across North America, such as two in Houston, Texas; two in Midland, Texas; one in Sterling, Kansas; and one in each of Calgary, Alberta; Grand Prairie, Alberta; Carlyle, Saskatchewan; and Delta, British Columbia. In the U.S., the company’s main chemical manufacturing and reacting facility is located in Sterling, Kansas with additional low-temperature reacting and chemical blending capabilities just outside of Midland, Texas and chemical blending capabilities in Sonora, Texas. In Canada, the company has a chemical manufacturing and reacting facility located in Delta, British Columbia with additional chemical blending capabilities located in Carlyle, Saskatchewan, Nisku, Alberta, and Grand Prairie, Alberta. The company also leverages third party partner relationships to drive innovation in the consumable fluids and chemicals business. The company’s strategy is to utilize its decentralized management model; its vertically integrated manufacturing model; its problem solving through science approach; its patented and proprietary technologies; and its superior people and execution to increase market share. History The company was formerly known as Canadian Energy Services & Technology Corp. and changed its name to CES Energy Solutions Corp. in 2017. The company was incorporated in 1986 under the Canada Business Corporations Act.
