Our Story

Enerteq continuously researches, evaluates and delivers products and technologies that reduce the hazards and burdens of field tasks.

In the early 80’s my first job, as a graduate of engineering school, was as a field engineer for Schlumberger. It was the scariest and most maturing two years of my life. Having attended Columbia University in the city of New York, I was unprepared for what it meant to be a hands on engineer. The first year was filled with eye popping experiences that, I still believe today, are only possible in the oil business because of the ruggedness of the industry. I was fortunate that Schlumberger believed in training and safety.

I went from reading Homer to identifying different pipe threads and learning to properly use a 24” pipe wrench. Memorable to this day is how intense the work was and how expensive things were. 📷It was common to go to a site and work 36 hours straight and invoice $150,000. As time went on I notice that pricing and difficulties lessened as better tools were developed. New tools and technology always made the field crew very happy because we felt in control and our lives improving. Innovative tools allowed us to finish the most arduous tasks faster and with less anxiety about getting hurt.

The idea of safety and continuous improvement in the company became part of the company culture and key to the company’s value today. Good tooling turned out not only good for employees’ well-being, it was even better for the company. This is a direct relationship demonstrated in other industries and still not prioritized enough where field service is done. There are places that stubbornly hold on to the attitude of “that was just the way it is"; others that just practice false economics by not investing in innovation. Now we know this attitude is self-defeating and part of the reason the same accidents still plague us today.
