Offshore Technical Services is Leading the Way in Expansion and Excellence

Offshore Technical Services (OTS) is headquartered in Sydney, Nova Scotia, with offices also located in Alberta and Newfoundland. OTS is a Canadian Energy Service Company specializing in the Commissioning and Start-Up of mid to large scale energy projects. Other services include project management, maintenance support, operations support and technical services.

Founded in 2005 by owners Rodney Colbourne, Steve MacDougall and Steve Green, OTS’ resume includes companies such as ExxonMobil, Husky Energy, PetroCanada, Nexen and many others. OTS was first contracted with Aker Kvaerner Offshore Partner Canada Inc., in 2005, to provide support in the construction and commissioning of the Whiterose FPSO in Marystown, Newfoundland. Following the footsteps of this successful contract, OTS, then, moved into operations not only in Eastern Canada but also into the market of the Alberta Oil Sands. Additionally, it also met the international market’s needs.

Since 2005, OTS has been involved with a number of different projects in the Alberta Oil Sand: the Commissioning and Start-Up of the Nexen Long Lake site; the Commissioning and Start-Up planning for Cenovus Christina Lake; CSU Planning for Transalta at the Suncor Base Plant; and CSU Planning for the Mosaic Belle Plaine Potash site in Saskatchewan. Internationally, OTS also provides support to Suncor at their operation in Damascus, Syria.

The establishment of OTS’ new office in St. John’s means that it will now begin to service Newfoundland’s market once again. In fact, current and upcoming onshore/offshore projects in Newfoundland present numerous opportunities for OTS. Indeed, OTS has a good track record from its past involvement in Newfoundland which includes the commissioning and start-up of FPSO’s, fixed platforms and both oil and gas productions.

Past track records show that OTS promises nothing but excellence in executing its services. Notably, after only five years of operation, in 2009, the owners were awarded the Entrepreneur of the Year Award by Ernst and Young in the Professional/Financial Services category.

OTS will be exhibiting at the 2010 Atlantic Canadian Petroleum Show in St. John’s, Newfoundland, on June 16th and 17th as well at the 2010 Oil Sands Tradeshow and Conference in Fort McMurray, Alberta on September 21st and 22nd.
