Superior Energy Services offers drilling-related and production related solutions to energy producers

"We provide a diverse set of products and services in select global markets that add value to our customers’ operations with an emphasis on quality, integrity and safe operations."

It’s hard to imagine an industry with greater complexity – or greater demands – than the oil and gas industry. As dwindling reserves force companies to operate in remote and even possible hostile environments, the high cost and difficulty of extracting energy is steadily increasing. And as Technological innovation, as we’ve all heard, is taking over the world, There’s no exception to that rule in the Oil and Gas industry. Superior Energy Services provides vital products and services for energy producers, throughout the life cycle of the well, from drilling and production through plug and abandonment and decommissioning.

Genesis and Growth of Superior Energy

The company that exists today traces its roots back two decades, beginning as an oilfield products manufacturing firm and eventually branching out into services. By the mid-1990s, it offered a full inventory of specialized tools for drilling, production and well work over activities. To finance further growth in this high-capital business, it initiated a public offering of stock in 1995.

Superior Energy’s tremendous growth accomplished in a relatively short time has been the result of hard work, strategic acquisitions and a focus on exceeding customer expectations. Following its public offering, Superior grew quickly by acquiring more than 10 small- and mid-sized well intervention and oilfield tool rental companies in just three years, growing revenues from $23.6 million to $91.3 million in that time. In 1999, Superior Energy Services merged with Cardinal Services, the market leader in mechanical wireline services in the Gulf of Mexico and also the largest owner and operator of lift boats in the region.

By the mid-2000s, the Gulf of Mexico market was awash with overcapacity and suffering from low commodity prices. To increase asset utilization, Superior Energy Services looked globally. In 2003, it acquired Premier Oilfield Services of Aberdeen, Scotland, providing immediate access to the North Sea, Europe, the Middle East and West African markets. In 2003, it formed SPN Resources to acquire mature Gulf of Mexico properties that required the intervention services, tools and disciplines typically employed for customers.

In 2006, Superior Energy Services expanded its onshore operations in North America through its acquisition of Warrior Energy Services, a natural gas and oil well services company that provided wire line and well intervention services to exploration and production companies. The deal made Superior the leading North American production enhancement company. The year 2008 launched an expansion of its capabilities and its global reach. The Superior companies, working individually and in tandem, continued to expand the company’s reach from New Zealand to Singapore and Norway and Kazakhstan. Hitting another milestone that year, it was ranked No. 15 on FORTUNE Magazine’s Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies list, a sure sign of good things to come.
