Summit Energy Services

We are based in Williston, ND and work for customers throughout North Dakota and Eastern Montana. There are three things that set Summit Energy Services apart from the many other oil field service companies. A service contractor can only be as good as its crews and their leadership. In the target market for Summit Energy Services, labor is a scarce resource and experienced, dependable, skilled labor is a challenge to find. Minimizing crew turnover is one of our key goals and we accomplish this by paying very competitive rates and paying bonuses for successful projects, leadership and business development. Oil and gas producers are looking for a couple key components from their service contractors – in order of importance: jobsite safety, quality services, dependability (read low-turnover) and competitive pricing. As a former authorized OSHA instructor, Summit’s founder understands the necessity to create and reward a culture of safe work practices. Every task in oil field construction has literally been done thousands of times before. However, these tasks are done differently between companies and even between crews in the same company. Best Practices is a concept often talked about in management circles but sporadically practiced in the oil field. Summit’s staff has extensive experience in process documentation, personnel and safety training as well as corporate environments where task related reward systems are used to compensate team members.
