Power Pack End View Overall of Unit and Crew Truck Snubco International is pleased to announce the completion of the first unit for our joint venture company in Australia. The new company “Eastern Pressure Control PTY” (EPC) is now up and running in the Cooper Basin in Australia. Unit RASU-1 was completed in Toowoomba, Queensland and the finished piece of equipment has been moved into the Moomba area to begin its campaign of Rig Assist Snubbing for Santos. The first well is underway, and the unit has been performing flawlessly in conjunction with Eastern Well Service Rig # 5. Snubco International would like to extend a huge thanks to the crews of Eastern Well Service, EPC and Snubco for their hard work and diligence while completing the package. The power pack and transport trailer were built in Eastern Energy’s facility, and there were many long hours of work in order to meet the deadline for dispatching the equipment. All of us involved would like to also say thanks to the numerous suppliers and tradesmen that assisted in completing the unit. Please see the pictures below for a view of this fine piece of equipment.
EPC Logo Snubco International is pleased to announce the completion of a new joint venture with Eastern Well Service of Australia. Our two companies have joined forces in order to bring rig assist snubbing and other pressure control technologies to the Austral-Asia area of the world. The new company is called Eastern Pressure Control Pty Ltd, and will be providing pressure control solutions to customers operating in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

Snubco has completed drilling an outdoor test well facility adjacent to our Operations Center in Nisku for practical training and testing in a controlled environment. The well has a total depth of 150 meters (380’) and is rated to 35 Mpa (5000 Psi) surface pressures. This test well will allow us to provide real snubbing situations for both training purposes and testing newly manufactured equipment for both Snubco Domestic and Snubco International. The next module of this project will be the installation of an outdoor overhead crane system for picking up and installing equipment onto the well. We expect to have this completed by the end of July 2004. Once all the planned systems are in place, we will have air, water, communication and electrical power routed to the facility. This will give us a full range of options for testing, training and research & development of our constantly expanding fleet and technologies.
Snubco is pleased to have been busy modifying and upgrading our new Nisku Operations Center. We have now completed moving all of our operations inventory and expendable items into the new facility. Donald Gould, Operations Manager for Snubco Domestic, and Allan Macdonald, Snubco’s HSE Manager have moved their offices into the new facility in order to be close to the day to day field operations. All of our IT and communication systems have been integrated into the existing infrastructure, tying the manufacturing and operations center into one complete system. The upgrades to the new building are ongoing, with a focus on installing a state of the art training facility. This will include both class rooms and computer systems to assist with the in house training systems that Snubco is currently using. The expansion has been a real boost to the entire company, and we are all happy about having the additional space to utilize. Please feel free to drop by and check out the new facility.

SNUBCO International is well known as a key player in snubbing technologies in the global marketplace.

Delegations from as far as Australia, Romania, Venezuela, Russia and China have been hosted by SNUBCO to gain a better understanding of snubbing technologies and the applications. The groups were taken to field sites around Alberta where Snubco’s services were in action to give the visitors a close-up view of what we do best - snubbing. It wasn’t all work though. Included in their tour was, of course, a trip to the Rocky Mountains and local attractions. As a result of our international efforts, contracts have been signed with two Chinese companies and another from Australia for equipment and training.
Snubco has expanded our offices to accommodate a new drafting and design department. The department will be using the most advanced AutoDesk system which will assist with developing state of the art drawings for equipment manufacturing and for professional presentations.
