History

Trican Well Service was initially founded in 1979 as a private corporation by two cousins and a former colleague on a farm near Marshall, Saskatchewan before it was moved to the Glenn E. Neilson industrial park in Lloydminster, Alberta in 1981. In December 1996, the company went public while a simultaneous change in management occurred. Since then, Trican has expanded its Canadian operations to include fifteen operational bases (twelve in Alberta, two in northern British Columbia, one in Manitoba and one in Saskatchewan) and began operations in the United States and Russia under Liberty Pressure Pumping and Newco Well Service respectively. In 2007 Trican began operations in Algeria.

In 2012 Trican posted a revenue of 2.21B CDN with a net income of 53.7M CDN.[2]

In October 2008, Trican was named one of "Canada's Top 100 Employers" by Mediacorp Canada Inc., and was featured in Maclean's newsmagazine. Later that month, Trican was also named one of Alberta's Top Employers, which was announced by the Calgary Herald[3] and the Edmonton Journal.[4][5]

In January 2013, it acquired i-TEC Well Solutions.

The company won the 2013 New Technology Development Oil & Gas Award in the Rocky Mountains for its TriFrac-MLT.[6]
