Business
AKITA Drilling Ltd. is a Canadian contract drilling company that provides land-based drilling services primarily to the oil and gas industry through its Canadian and U.S. operating divisions; its services also include related drilling activity for potash mining and storage cavern development, and it operates a fleet of high-specification rigs equipped with advanced technologies for faster moves and efficient rig-up and rig-down. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, AKITA operates in Canada and the United States, with Canadian operations in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan and U.S. operations supported from Midland, Texas and serving major U.S. basins including the Permian Basin. The company’s core business is contract drilling, with a fleet positioned for horizontal and directional drilling markets and a focus on customers in the energy sector. In 2026, AKITA completed the transformative acquisition of Fox Drilling Limited Partnership and Fox Drilling Inc. from Paramount Resources Ltd., adding six triple drilling rigs in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, including five high-specification AC walking rigs, and it simultaneously eliminated its dual-class share structure to create a single class of common shares trading under the symbol AKT. Recent strategic actions also include the initiation of a normal course issuer bid in August 2025, continued debt reduction, and the reporting of 2025 annual results showing net income of $13.9 million and $15 million of debt repayment.
