Big News: Rig 90 heads south to Texas!
Rig 90 was built to move fast and operate efficiently in Western Canada where the climate can be harsh and unforgiving during the winter months. But recently, Rig 90 has undergone some serious changes and is on the move. Currently rigged up in the oil-soaked Permian basin, Rig 90 has shed its winter weather proofing for the warmer climates of Midland,Texas where we’re sure this high spec rig will demand the attention it deserves and will be a big player in the West Texas oil boom.

Our elves in the Calgary office had a great time decorating a tree for The Magic of Christmas Charity. The decorated trees are bagged up and loaded onto buses with hundreds of gifts along with volunteers dressed as Santa and his elves. Then they deliver some Christmas spirit to the homes of those who need it most here in Calgary. You can find our tree by Santa in the Core shopping mall until mid December. We really enjoyed being apart of this event once again!

A quick clip from AKITA 26, rising to the occasion!

Sending a big congratulations out to Rig 6 today! 622 days TRI free! Props to Rig 6 for working efficiently and safely. Keep up the great work!
