Canary, LLC changed its name from Frontier Energy Group, LLC in January 2013.[1] The rebranding occurred when Denver, Colorado-based Frontier Energy acquired Oklahoma City-based Canary Wellhead Equipment Inc. Canary Wellhead was founded in 1984 by Lynn Blevins and Jim Chappell, who both joined Canary, LLC as vice presidents.[2]
The company was formed in 2009 when CEO Dan K. Eberhart purchased Frontier Energy Group, LLC after quitting a job at a Houston-based oilfield services company.[3] Over the next three years, Eberhart acquired additional oilfield service companies, spending about $100 million before acquiring Canary Wellhead Equipment in 2013.[4] These acquisitions were Kodiak Testing Company in 2009; Cable Inc., Western Wellhead Grand Junction, and Hanson Hot Oil in 2010; Luft Machine and Supply Co. in 2011; and Spicer Wireline Inc. in 2012.[1]
When the company acquired Hanson Hot Oil in 2010, it became the largest hot oil company in the Williston Basin of North Dakota.[5] The two companies operated as Frontier Hot Oil out of Watford City, North Dakota.[6]
In 2014, the company acquired American Wellhead, which operates in the Permian Basin.[7]
As Canary, LLC, the company has 26 locations in the United States and operates in the Bakken and Utica Shale plays and Mississippi Lime Field.[4][2] It has over $100 million in revenue and is the 6th largest wellhead company in the United States.[1]
In 2014, Canary was listed as number 1503 on the Inc. 5000 and was the tenth fastest growing private company in Denver.[8]
