What we are
Consultants, not a body shop.
Kestrel is six ticketed wellsite supervisors. That is the entire company, and it is deliberate.
Every one of our consultants has run a rig floor and sat in the doghouse through a kick. When you call us you get a name, a resume and a phone number — not whoever the rotation happened to put in the truck this week.
We work directly for the operator. We are not owned by a service company, we take no rebates from vendors, and we have no incentive to keep a rig turning longer than the program calls for. Our recommendation on a well is the one we would make if it were our own money.
Scope of work
What we supervise.
Completions & frac
Supervision through perforating, stimulation and flowback. On-site pressure monitoring, third-party coordination, and a written completion summary you can hand to your reservoir group.
Workovers & well servicing
Service rig supervision for recompletions, pump changes, tubing failures and remedial cement. The unglamorous work that quietly decides your operating cost.
Abandonment & reclamation
Downhole abandonment, cut and cap, surface reclamation and the paperwork that closes the file. We will tell you honestly where a site sits against your closure obligations.
Regulatory support
Licence applications, compliance reviews, incident reporting and audit preparation. We keep current with AER directives so your field paperwork survives an inspection.
Where we work
From Grande Prairie to the Saskatchewan line.
Our consultants are based across the Peace Country, the Deep Basin and southeast Alberta, so mobilisation is usually measured in hours rather than days.

TICKETED & CURRENT
- COR certified through Energy Safety Canada, audited annually.
- Every consultant carries current tickets — H2S Alive, First Aid, Well Control (IWCF or equivalent), Ground Disturbance and WHMIS.
- ISNetworld and Avetta registered, so your procurement group has what it needs before we mobilise.
- Stop-work authority is absolute. Any Kestrel consultant can shut a job down, and none of them has ever been second-guessed for it.
