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 simulaneous 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 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 2006 Trican posted a revenue of $847,472,000 CDN with a net income of $172,563,000 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]
