Description

Precision Drilling Corporation, a Calgary, Canada-based enterprise, provides a full suite of onshore drilling, completion, and production services. The company supports exploration and production firms in the oil and natural gas, as well as geothermal sectors, operating extensively across North America and the Middle East. Its operations are segmented into two core divisions: Contract Drilling Services and Completion and Production Services. The Contract Drilling Services division focuses on onshore well drilling for oil and natural gas exploration and production entities. This encompasses land and turnkey drilling solutions, the sourcing and distribution of oilfield equipment, and the manufacture and repair of drilling and service rig apparatus. As of December 31, 2021, this segment managed a fleet of 227 land drilling rigs, comprising 109 in Canada, 105 in the United States, 6 in Kuwait, 4 in Saudi Arabia, 2 in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, and 1 in Georgia. This advanced fleet included 47 AlphaTM rigs featuring commercial AlphaAutomation, 18 AlphaApps, 4 grid power-capable rigs, and 60 natural gas or bi-fuel powered rigs. The Completion and Production Services segment delivers crucial support for well completion, workover, abandonment, maintenance, and re-entry preparation through its service rigs. This division also supplies wellsite accommodations, offers a range of oilfield surface equipment for lease, and provides camp and catering services to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies. By December 31, 2021, its assets featured 123 well completion and workover service rigs (113 in Canada and 10 in the United States), in addition to 1,900 oilfield rental items including surface storage, small-flow wastewater treatment, power generation, and solids control equipment. Within Canada, this segment also maintained 109 wellsite accommodation units, 943 drill camp beds, 822 base camp beds, and three kitchen diners. Precision Drilling Corporation was founded in 1951.
