tions, there’s always somebody willing to take
the time out to step aside and explain exact-
ly what it is we’re doing or how it should be
done.”
The company’s dedication to safety is an-
other attraction for both employees and cus-
tomers. Their Quality, Health, Safety and En-
vironmental (QHSE) program is a key part of
their operations, and they are compliant with
several safety-affiliated organizations and pro-
grams including ISNetworld, ComplyWorks,
COR and NSC. “Everybody always enjoys going
to work for a company where safety is one of
the foremost priorities,” Mathison said. Mov-
ing the heavy mobile rigs from job to job poses
a different kind of challenge. Along with the
difficulties that come with remote site loca-
tions, acquiring permits and working through
transportation laws that vary from province to
province can be time-consuming, especially
when getting to the location on time is crucial.
But that’s one of the reasons Jewel Energy
is enjoying steady growth. They’re recognized
for their commitment to their customers and
employees, and have developed strong rela-
tionships with other companies, particularly
some of the area nitrogen companies since ni-
trogen is a key component in the coiled tubing
business. “We’ll scratch each other’s backs”,
letting each other know when work might be
available, Mathison said.
The company has an active sales force that
meets regularly with oil company executives
and makes sure that Jewel Energy has a spot
on the tender lists. Many jobs require bidders
to go through an RFP process or become quali-
fied as a vendor via the supply chain manage-
ment system. Other customers may have spe-
cific job requirements, such as employment
opportunities for aboriginal people within the
bidding company.
Working with clients from the planning phase
through execution is the best way to ensure
operational success, followed by 24/7 support
and service. “We want to be the most recog-
nized leader in this business and we’re always
striving to bring forth the best solutions for
the completion or workover in the most cost-
effective manner.”
