Quick Silver Wireline
Oilfield Service Company operating 24/7, 365 days a year.
Company Profile
Quick Silver Wireline (QSW) is a privately owned Wireline Company in Alberta, incorporated and operating since May 2002. Quick Silver Wireline provides subsurface data acquisition, operation of downhole flow control devices, fishing, pressure control systems and mechanical services associated with slickline wireline operations to the oil and gas industry in Western Canada. Quick Silver Wireline also provides, installs and maintains surface and down hole gas and oil well optimization systems working with its affiliated company, QSO Inc.
While smaller in size than many of our competitors, we believe that we are large enough to provide good coverage and support, while at the same time small enough to provide personal, cost effective service to our customers. Our shareholders are involved in day to day management and in making sure our customers are satisfied. If there is a problem or concern, our customers are talking to people that care and can make a difference. We also believe that in order to keep good customers, we need to be concerned with their bottom line and not just our own. We feel that this is an important fundamental goal of our company.
We have also always believed that the key to maintaining quality service starts with our employees. We strive to provide more than just a paycheck to our employees and believe that this has enabled us to recruit and retain great personnel that care about the quality of their work, whether at the well site or supporting our field operations. We are also very committed to ensuring that the health and safety of our fellow employees, our customers, our co-workers and the general public is our upmost priority.
Finally, Quick Silver Wireline is known as a superior provider of slickline services; we haven’t taken this recognition lightly but are continually striving to become a better company. Our long term goal is not to be the largest slickline company in Western Canada but to be the best.
