We range only, and that's exactly why we're better at it.
Through the most accurate and reliable suite of magnetic ranging technology available, proprietary to Gunnar, we've assembled the best and most proven hands and minds in wellbore positioning. Our team has decades of experience in every magnetic ranging application, relief well planning, well intervention, engineering, pressure control and environmental services.
As an independent operator, we've worked alongside most of the major and independent service providers. That gives us an unbiased perspective on operational execution, and the freedom to act purely in the customer's best interest.
You can trust that we're all on the same team, yours.
Named for a pilot who landed where no one else could.
