They are: Beaver Lake First Nation, Frog Lake First Nation, Heart Lake First Nation, Kehewin Cree Nation, Saddle Lake First Nation and Whitefish (Goodfish) Lake Band #128.

With the original development of heavy oil in northeastern Alberta, a number of First Nations Bands looked at entering the rather risky drilling rig business. However, in 1984, with the assistance of one of the major oil producers, PIMEE WELL SERVICING LP. was created to work in the less risky, more secure, service rig industry. With the assistance of the same major oil producer, a single rig was purchased with a second added in 1987. By 1990, business practices and processes were in place to allow PIMEE WELL SERVICING LP. to strategically expand our services to include general oilfield maintenance. Our success has been due to our clear focus on the values that will ensure long term stability and growth for aboriginal peoples. Our First Nations Bands are clearly interested in the employment of our people, the development of our capabilities in all portions of business and operations, and a harmonious relationship within the community at large. Although important, financial success is not the primary driver of PIMEE WELL SERVICING LP. Our success is also due in part to the initial commitment by Imperial Oil Resources (Cold Lake), who recognized the rather significant barriers to employment and advancement opportunities for aboriginal peoples. We work hard to ensure a win/win relationship exists with all our clients. There is no sacrifice in quality, safety, performance or cost of service. Our employees are well trained and proud of our accomplishments and our company. A strong work ethic, necessary to be successful, is not only obvious in our employees, but has extended to other companies within the Band communities as well. The carry over effect is even seen in our children modeling their parents. PIMEE WELL SERVICING LP’s model for success does not require handouts; rather, a simple recognition of the barriers to success as well as a fair and honest commitment to overcome these barriers. We are experienced at managing multiple owners, developing skilled employees and instilling pride and work ethic among them. The result is a very competitive oilfield service company. In conclusion, we are offering a uniquely successful service for aboriginal development. We can provide process and guidance through the implementation of the following:
- A well defined win/win relationship with fair commitments from both parties
- A proven set of business and operating practices
- An extensive training program
- An excellent safety program
- A community and employee relations program
The result is a self-sustaining, highly capable and competitive oilfield service company.
