Paul Guilfoyle, Tendeka’s business development manager for Canada and Alaska, said: “This mutually beneficial arrangement, although in the works for some time, has even more significance today as we adjust to find new ways of working. Tendeka’s regional team and the combination of local experience and support from within Alaska, will ensure that together we can continue to meet the technology requirements of Alaskan operators.

“The Northern Solutions team is widely regarded as one of the most experienced and knowledgeable in the region, holding several patents for coil tubing drilling, work over and intervention. Working in partnership with Northern Solutions is a key part of Tendeka’s continuing goal to provide best in class products and service quality for our clients in Alaska.”

Candice English, Northern Solutions’ owner commented: “We believe that the innovation driven technologies at the core of Tendeka’s portfolio are well aligned with our own approach to bringing custom solutions to solve clients drilling, completion and production challenges. From design and development, to manufacturing and installation and we are excited to bring our own local experience and values to this collaboration.”

Northern Solutions have machining, fabrication and workshop facilities in Anchorage and Prudhoe Bay that are already qualified to manufacture, assemble and test a range of Tendeka technologies. With wellsite and classroom-based training already underway we have already made an impact with Alaskan operators recognizing the benefits that this agreement brings.

Tendeka appoints new Production Enhancement Manager

Independent global completions service company Tendeka has appointed a new product line manager to drive its production enhancement offering around the world.

Dr Li Jiang will be responsible for bringing new products to market to bolster Tendeka’s Production Enhancement portfolio, generating revenue through fluid technologies that complement Tendeka’s existing tools portfolio. He will also provide technical support on current products and support the chemical additives supply chain for the company’s global customers.

Dr Jiang joins Tendeka from Hexion where he was performance additives manager and previously worked as a principal scientist and engineering manager at Schlumberger. Across his career in oil and gas, he has led the commercialisation of several high-profile products in reservoir completion, drilling and downhole monitoring.

Dr. Jiang, who will be based in Houston, said: “Tendeka has achieved outstanding success through its completions tool portfolio. We now have the exciting opportunity to strengthen an already thriving product line and to enhance our customers’ productivity and profitability. I hope my experience in new product development and commercialisation can add significant value to the company going forward.

“The oil industry is under unprecedented pressure from weakening demand amid the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the emergence of renewable energy sources. However, I am a believer in Tendeka’s vision to safely and sustainably optimise every drop of energy produced from the reservoir as oil and gas continues to play a key role in the future energy mix.”

Tendeka’s global production enhancement product line provides E&P, saltwater disposal and upstream service companies around the world with innovative and specialty fracturing, acidising, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and flow assurance chemicals that are designed to address challenges in all reservoir types.

Headquartered in Aberdeen, UK, the company’s subsurface engineering, advanced completions and production enhancement teams, solve complex challenges with unique, cost-effective solutions that are a fusion of innovative tools and advanced chemistries.

Brad Baker, CEO of Tendeka added: “There continues to be significant opportunities in the current low commodity price market with operators more likely to opt for financially favourable production enhancement solutions over the logistical, technical and environmental issues associated with drilling new wells.

“In this area, advanced material-based fluids chemistry and engineering can make critical impacts. Li has a wealth of experience in bringing technology to the market and he will be a major asset in supporting our clients around the world.”
