History

In January of 2007, Versa-Line Services began operations with a single Mast Wireline/ Swabbing Unit.

A second unit was added to the fleet in July of 2008, to expand the current capabilities of the mast wireline units.

As the economy and industry diminished at the end of 2008, Versa-Line began to pick up steam and market share. As a result, a new concept was introduced to expand the company's existing capabilities and services. After much debating and designing, construction began May 2009 to build the 'Scorpion'. The Scorpion is a hybrid slickline/ swabbing unit designed to keep with existing operational demands and allow work on pressure wells and wells with high amounts of H2S, CO2 and other corrosive environments. Two of our Core Values are 'Exceeding Customer Expectations' and 'Seeking Competitive Advantages'. With these Core values in mind unit #3 the 'Scorpion' was built and began operations in August of 2009.

2010 was an exciting year from start to finish. We have opened a new operations center in Whitecourt, Alberta. We purchased unit #4 in May along with a 17 Ton picker truck. Unit #4 is a conventional slickline unit. We hired a local gentleman named Travis Furlong who made our introduction to Whitecourt smooth and seamless. Travis has been a great addition to our team.

We realized very quickly that one truck was not going to be enough to keep up with the demand in Whitecourt, so we quickly began construction of yet another ground breaking mast wireline truck. The majority of wells in the Whitecourt area are less mature and depleted than in the Red Deer area, so we knew we would need slickline to handle higher surface pressures for a good portion of our services in Whitecourt. However we did not want to completely stray from our roots and felt that Dyform braided line was also necessary. With this in mind we began designing the first operational 'Multi-Line' mast unit. Unit #5 was ready for field operations in September. This brand new design boasts a stronger mast that is eight feet taller that any of our existing mast trucks. In addition we are able to provide our clients with both 7/32" Dyform braided line and 0.125" alloy slickline. This new design has yet again increased the versatility of our wireline fleet.

With the addition of a new operations center, two new units and fantastic new people we feel we have truly embraced our Core Purpose of 'Dedicated People, Innovative Equipment, Providing Customer Satisfaction'.
