Partnering with Delphian Ballistics to bring TriStim Perforating Technology to Western Canada!

February 29, 2016

CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 29, 2016 /CNW/ — Tier 1 Energy Solutions Inc. (“Tier 1 Energy”) has entered into an exclusive partnership with Delphian Ballistics Inc. (“Delphian”). Led by Stuart McLeod, Paul Lynch and Serena Arif, Delphian Ballistics has an absolute focus on improving well productivity by building a better perforating system.

TriStim is Delphian’s unique and patented technology that harnesses the power of shockwaves to deliver a bigger, cleaner and deeper perforation. Tier 1 Energy will be the exclusive service provider of Delphian’s TriStim technology in Western Canada. TriStim offers a smarter way to perforate because it sets out to do something unique based on the physics of ballistics.

By applying precision ballistics engineering to the age old process of perforating, TriStim is able to offer significant improvements in well productivity and  enhanced fracture dynamics by harnessing the power of shockwaves. TriStim uses three shaped charges in concert. Not just one shaped charge, as with conventional perforating systems, but three. The triple charge convergent configuration makes TriStim unique.

Tier 1 Energy is a market leader in pumpdown perforating wireline services while offering a complete package of cased-hole wireline and completion services to the WCSB. The Company is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, with service centers and sales offices in Grande Prairie, Leduc, Lloydminster, Red Deer, Provost, Swift Current and Calgary. Tier 1 Energy (https://www.tier1energy.ca/) is backed by Intervale Capital.

Kevin O’Dwyer, President of Tier 1 Energy, said “We are extremely pleased to partner with Delphian Ballistics. Delphian’s TriStim technology enhances Tier 1 Energy’s focus on providing innovative solutions to the wireline market in Western Canada.”

Stuart McLeod, Managing Director of Delphian Ballistics Ltd, commented “TriStim is a differentiating technology responding to the current global market needs of maximizing production whilst reducing overall costs. We need to be selective of who we collaborate with to achieve our goals and we’re delighted to be partnered with Tier 1 Energy for the Western Canada market.”
