In February of 2007, Trican Well Service Ltd. was pleased to announce that it had reached an agreement to acquire approximately 93% of Liberty Pressure Pumping L.P., a provider of pressure pumping services in Texas. Headquartered in Denton, Texas, Trican provides stimulation services used in the development and completion of oil and gas wells. "Liberty has built an excellent business in a very short time. It has impressed us with its strong operations culture, new equipment and an active and knowledgeable management group", said Murray Cobbe, CEO at Trican. "These were all key elements in our decision to acquire Liberty."

Trican is a leading provider of pressure pumping services with operations in Canada and Russia. With this new acquisition, Trican will make an important entry into the United States market. This move provides a strong platform for future growth by establishing a significant new base of operations from which to expand operations to other areas of the U.S. as well as the opportunity to introduce Trican's other services to Liberty's existing customers.
