3 3 BUSINESS IN FOCUS

Written by Leon Bracey

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company was

founded in 2010 as Allied Wireline Services. In March

of 2014, Allied Wireline Services and Horizontal

Wireline Services merged to form one of the leading inde-

pendent full-service wireline providers in the country. Besides

its offices in Houston, Allied-Horizontal also has facilities in

Brighton, Colorado; Dickinson, North Dakota; Irwin, Pennsyl-

vania; Oklahoma City; and the following locations throughout

Texas including Abilene, Midland, Pleasanton, and Victoria. The

company is positioned to serve customers from established

oil plays in the Marcellus, Utica, Mid-Continent, Eagle Ford,

Permian Basin, Cline, Niobrara and Bakken regions.

Chief Financial Officer Peter Brink spoke about Allied-Horizontal and

its services, and the rapid growth since inception just four years ago.

“We recruit and retain the best people and then provide continuous training to open advancement paths for our

employees to grow the Company.”

“We started with the idea of taking the customer service

mindset of an independent service provider and married that

with the technical capabilities that mirrored the sophisticated

services of larger oilfield service providers,” states Brink. “We felt

that larger, more diversified players were not focused on the

service quality aspect of wireline and independents were not

4

focused on technical services because of the money and time

needed to develop those tools.”

The marriage of these two concepts served as the foundation

for launching the Company, which offers a variety of services to

meet client needs and boasts the most advanced independent

reservoir analytics in the industry.

“We differentiate ourselves in the marketplace with technology

and service,” Brink says. “Allied and Horizontal came together

to increase our geographical footprint in the U.S., broaden the

customer reach and share best practices in customer service

and market technology. We combined technical services, best-

in-class analytics, and completions services to offer our cus-

tomers better solutions.”

“We believe we have the right people, processes, and equipment.

With these elements together, employing the right technology

delivers value to our customers and differentiates us in the market.”

Utilizing state of the art Open-Hole Wireline technology, the com-

pany’s technical experts provide quality information and insight

to help oil and gas companies make the most effective decisions

for maximizing the economic returns of their production plans.

Allied-Horizontal is consistently growing its specialty services such

as Rotary Sidewall Coring and Resistivity Micro Imagery, while pro-

viding the most reliable traditional technologies such as Induction

Array, Dual Laterolog, Micro Spherical Focused Logging, Microlog,

Lithology Density, Compensated Neutron, Multi Array Sonic,

Spectral Gamma Ray, and Gamma Ray.

The Company has an exclusive agreement with GE Oil & Gas

and serves as an integral part of the open-hole tool design

and development process. The resulting tools are shorter,

lighter and more reliable without compromising functional-

ity, meaning less downtime on location. Shorter tool strings

require less total well depth to position sensors into the zone of

interest, reducing the overall drilling time.

For Cased-Hole Services, Allied-Horizontal’s complete portfolio

of reservoir evaluation and completion services helps its clients

locate any bypassed pay and evaluate cement or casing that

may be siphoning off valuable production, as well as providing

the information needed to make the decision to abandon or

5

recomplete a well. “Combining best-in-class answer products

with the most efficient completions services allows our cus-

tomers to more cost effectively develop the resource,” Brink

explains, “resulting in better returns on their investment.”

It is Allied-Horizontal’s goal to provide industry leading service

quality for every job, whether it is setting packers or running

multi-arm calipers. Utilizing the right people, process, equip-

ment and technology ensures better economic outcomes

through superior evaluation and efficient completion services.

Allied-Horizontal offers both wireline and tubing conveyed

perforating services to maximize reservoir productivity. The

Company’s perforating systems are focused on achieving

optimal production or injection in each well by optimizing the

interface between the wellbore and the reservoir. Experienced

wireline specialists matched with best-in-class technology and

best practice-based processes provide a safer wellsite environ-

ment and reduce non-productive time – enhancing economic

returns through increased efficiency.

The Company employs nearly 700 personnel across every key

basin in the U.S. “We’ve grown quickly, especially as a combined

company, but we’re still young in the marketplace,” says Brink.

“We try to maintain a smaller company feel, to know our employ-

ees and position ourselves as the employer of choice in the field.

We recruit and retain the best people and then provide continu-

ous training, creating paths for advancement for our employees

to grow the Company. An employee who gets an entry-level

position can move up within our company through several

avenues including operations, safety, or a standalone service

quality team that assists operations and safety in developing

consistent service delivery outcomes for our customers.”

Brinks elaborates on the Company’s focus on hiring quality per-

sonnel. “Our goal is to find the best people out there with the right

mindset to be part of what we’re creating in the industry, then,

with training and career progression opportunities, continue to

develop them into the leaders we need to sustain our growth.”

“…The Company’s goal is to provide industry leading service

quality for every job.”

Allied-Horizontal is committed to establishing and preserv-

ing the health and safety of employees, customers, the public

and the environment. Experienced personnel are equipped

with the most advanced tools in the market and are continu-

ously trained and measured on their health, safety and envi-

ronment performance.

“Safety and Service Quality are especially important in our

business,” Brink says. “We believe we have the right people,

processes, and equipment. With those elements together,

employing the right technology delivers value to our cus-

tomers and differentiates us in the market. We drive that

culture and philosophy in doing things as safely as possible

and focus on doing everything right and following the right

steps in the chain.”

Key elements of Allied-Horizontal’s Health, Safety & Environ-

ment programs include:

• providing guidance to all managers and employees with clear

HSE requirements, such as safe driving practices

• exploring proactive ways to prevent accidents and incidents

of all types

• investing in training and certification for all levels of personnel

• requiring all employees to notify co-workers, clients and man-

agement of any potential or existing HSE occurrences

• Implementing lessons learned to prevent future occurrences.

“We serve large and small clients in locations across

resource plays in the lower 48 [states],” says Brink. “We’re

competing against larger companies every day. Our oper-

ational safety / efficiency allows us to do it better and as

a result, continue to advance our image and reputation

with customers.”

Allied-Horizontal has a number of expansion plans besides growth

in the existing footprint. The Company will continue to advance

its technology portfolio, through strategic alliances with leading

technology providers such as GE. For example, the rotary sidewall

coring tools will allow the capability to core and retrieve up to fifty

1.5 inch rock samples in a single run. Another example of special-

ized technology developed through these joint efforts is the new

Resistivity Micro Imaging tool, delivering high resolution images

over a greater operating range than before. This high-resolution

imagery will determine the best steps to complete and develop a

well, maximize production and outcomes.

“We’re always looking to determine the right opportunities to

drive returns and meet the needs of customers,” says Brink.

“We’re constantly refining our processes to make sure that

we are putting people and equipment out there that deliver

value for customers.”

In just four years, Allied-Horizontal Wireline Services has

become one of the leading independent full-service
