Vertex Downhole Ltd.
Vertex Downhole, was started in 2011 by a group of established industry experts, driven to develop the next generation of MWD tools. Starting with a Pulser and a field ready Tool Kit, the product line quickly expanded. Today, Vertex is a leader in oilfield technology companies, designing advanced solutions, including proprietary software, a straight hole drift correction tool, as well as a pumps-on-survey tool. Since inception, the company has expanded from Calgary to Houston and West Texas, and services tools and technologies in Canada, the United States, China and Europe.
Vertex Downhole is an integrated oil and gas service company with a product base uniquely geared to support down hole drilling. The overall company focus is to increase efficiencies for companies by integrating all tools; from the drilling rig to the drill bit. The combination of technical knowledge and management expertise ensures that the quality of the work and the client experience is never compromised.
