Ian Lawson | Sr. Development Engineer, Rife Resource
Service from O&G Resource Management LTD. has been excellent. They have supplied drilling & completion supervisors when needed, filled in on holiday relief to help manage our drilling and completions projects we have in Manitoba. I will definitely be using O&G as our personnel choice.

I have used Warren and his team of completion consultants for a number of years. As the owner of O & G Resource Management, Warren is a hands on drilling and completion expert who consistently strives to provide top notch office and field consulting for the oil patch. His team of field consultants are all highly qualified, experienced and dedicated individuals who constantly go the ‘extra mile’ to ensure the job is done well and on cost while never sacrificing the safety of the operation. I would recommend O & G for any of your conventional oil & gas well operations.

Earthmaster has been working with O&G since their inception in 2013. We found their experience and flexibility for client response excellent. They find savings with project efficiencies that come with years of learnings over their decades of experience. They are great communicators with local Operations, contractors and landowners to ensure projects are understood and running smoothly. We team with O&G when we can and recommend them to our Clients when they are in need of abandonment and construction services.
- Amber Flamand | Reclamation Program Manager
The impact O&G had on our team’s operations was immediate, with greatly increased preparation and planning leading to substantial cost reductions, reduced drill times, and higher production efficiency. These milestones were achieved without sacrificing safety or longer term well results. The increased focus on the details of every component of our operations led to improved wellbore geometry, significantly lower losses and downtime despite challenging drills, and fewer unplanned operations during both drills and workovers when compared to the prior consulting team. The O&G team was experienced, responsive, engaged, and exceeded expectations in all areas.
