Owen Oil Tools is the world’s largest
manufacturer
and distributor of perforating systems. A perforating system is a device that deploys explosive materials
into an oil or gas well to perform a variety of critical functions. The most significant (and the one
we do the most) is that which creates the pathway or perforation through the well’s casing and into
the hydrocarbon bearing formation allowing oil and gas to flow to the surface.
We manufacture over seven million explosive products and over a million feet of perforating carriers
each year. Owen provides some of the best in class Thru-Tubing and Casing Patch products and services.
Our products are manufactured in our
Godley, Texas; Red Deer, Alberta and Standard, Alberta plants.
They are supplied and supported through our vast distribution network with over 30 locations in North
America and 10 global offices.
We began operations in 1983 and became a member of Core Laboratories’ portfolio of oilfield operating
divisions and technologies in 1998.
We have a rich tradition in the oil patch from founder
Harrold Owen, to its top ten managers having over 300 years of experience, to the 650 worldwide employees
who work diligently every day satisfying customer needs.
