Millennium Directional Service Ltd. joined the ranks of Saskatchewan’s Top 100 Companies this year. Millennium was founded in 2005 in response to the demand for quality directional drilling services in the Williston Basin area of SE Saskatchewan and Manitoba. In 2011, the company expanded into North Dakota. This year, it opened a research and development/ operations facility in Leduc, Alberta to further the company’s expansion in Western Canada.

“We were very pleased to be named one of Saskatchewan’s Top 100 Companies. Our strong growth is due to our state of the art equipment and software technology, the reliability of our tools, and the experience of our employees. This is what sets us apart from our competition,” said Dan Eddy, President of Millennium.

“Millennium is seeing new opportunities in an expanded geographical area. This is a result of our leading edge focus on high performance and efficiency. We are experiencing increased demand from those operators looking to reduce drilling and well related costs. In addition to relying on state of the art equipment and technology and our field expertise, operators count on us to identify cost savings in the drilling process. This, combined with our exceptional performance results, is leading to new opportunities for Millennium,” said Robert G. MacCuish, Chairman of Millennium.

Millennium was formed in 2005 to meet the growing demand for quality directional services in the Williston Basin. The company’s objective was clear: become the service of choice by providing state of the art equipment, advanced software technology, a highly efficient, safe operating environment, and dedicated, experienced employees. It has been a winning strategy with the company also being named New Venture of the Year in 2008 by the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce.

By combining the latest advances in directional drilling technology with the expertise of reliable proven manufacturers, Millennium stays at the forefront of current and emerging industry trends. The company’s Pulser Drivers, Directional Sensors, and new mud motor fleet are not only state-of-the- art but also some of the most reliable and proven on the market today. This gives clients a directional system that is second to none in reliability, performance, and accuracy.

Millennium has a solid reputation for quality, cost-effective work based on strong collaborative relationships with clients. In short, clients can count on Millennium to get the job done. Millennium is now the provider of choice for many of the largest and fastest growing oil and gas companies in Western Canada, having drilled over 1,800 horizontal wells since its formation little more than eight years ago.

“Millennium takes full advantage of any improvements available in terms of equipment, software, safety, and education for employees. In these areas, Millennium is at the forefront adapting quickly to ensure we can provide the best to our clients. But, our core values have remained constant. We work in a collaborative relationship that is client-focused. We deliver – safely and cost effectively. We are in business to build long term, successful relationships with our clients, while remaining true to our customer oriented values,” Eddy concluded.

Safe, smooth and successful drilling.
