The Service Exodus from Alberta to Texas

May 28, 20191:00 AM BOE Report Staff

The movement of human capital and specialized oilfield equipment from Alberta to West Texas is alarming.  I completely agree with Dan Hoffarth’s (Citadel Drilling) 2018 statement regarding his company’s transition to Texas: “this was a need, not a want”.  Today, five out of six high-spec Citadel rigs are working in the Permian Basin and ~90% of their revenue is expected to come from south of the border (DOB, 2019).

Figure 1: 2013 – 2018 Alberta vs. Texas Rig Count & Hydraulic Fracturing Water Demand

Connate Water Solutions is a specialized hydrogeology company and we track water demand, new water technologies and oilfield service activity.  In Figure 1 above, the data shows a stagnant Alberta rig count in comparison to a significant increase in Texas drilling activity.  This is primarily due to the streamlined regulatory environment and dramatic increase in capital invested in the Permian Basin.  IHS Markit estimates the 2018 market for frac water supply and transportation in the Permian Basin to be valued at ~$12 billion!

In order to capitalize on this apparent opportunity, we have created Connate Water Solutions LLC and opened a branch office in the strategic location of San Antonio, TX.  We are excited to expand our hydrogeology services and diversify our revenue by providing custom groundwater solutions for the Eagleford and Permian basins.  Stay tuned and check out our Lone Star State services video below.
