01 Our story

Fifty years in the field, one company.

TCES grew up on U.S. wells. TCES MENA is how that experience reaches operators in the Gulf.

Transcontinental Energy Services is a full-service completion and production company, with expertise rooted in fifty years of combined experience in oil and gas.

From a corporate office in Houston and facilities in Midland and Alice, Texas, and Shreveport, Louisiana, TCES runs the services that take a well from completion to steady production. TCES MENA carries that experience to the Gulf: the same service lines and equipment standards, backed by the Houston team.

03 What we stand on

Experience. Efficiency. Innovation.

The TCES tagline, and the way each job is planned, crewed and run.

  1. 01 / 03

    Experience

    Expertise you can only earn in the field.

    Fifty years of combined oil and gas experience sits behind every job plan, every rig-up and every call made on location.

  2. 02 / 03

    Efficiency

    Speed and safety, never one without the other.

    Work planned so the well moves faster and the crew goes home safe, because downtime and incidents cost the operator the same way.

  3. 03 / 03

    Innovation

    Better equipment, better data.

    Cutting-edge equipment and live data acquisition, so decisions on the well are made on numbers rather than guesses.
