The company offers a comprehensive range of services, including land drilling rigs for conventional and unconventional plays; directional and horizontal drilling technologies; automated management systems such as Alpha™ and EverGreen™ for enhanced operational efficiency; well servicing rigs; and complementary services like rental equipment, camp accommodations, and technical support. Precision operates primarily in Canada and the United States, targeting exploration and production companies in key basins such as the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and U.S. shale plays, with its headquarters in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, founded in 1951.
In recent developments, Precision Drilling has focused on technological advancements and strategic expansions, including the deployment of its next-generation Super Triple™ drilling rigs equipped with AI-driven automation and the expansion of its Alpha™ suite with machine learning capabilities for real-time performance optimization as of 2025. The company secured significant contract renewals and new awards in the Permian and Montney basins, bolstering its backlog amid recovering oilfield activity. Additionally, Precision announced partnerships for low-emission drilling solutions and completed a fleet modernization program, reducing its rig count to a leaner, high-spec fleet of approximately 100 active land rigs while pursuing sustainability initiatives like EverGreen™ power systems.
