Bidell Gas Compression

What Bidell Gas Compression does

Bidell Gas Compression, founded in 1988 in Calgary, Alberta, designs, manufactures, services, and rents gas compression equipment for industrial customers across North America and Australia. The company's product portfolio spans reciprocating and rotary screw compressors in both electric-drive and gas-drive configurations, with specialized units engineered for acid gas, high sour content, renewable natural gas, hydrogen, helium, and CO2 service. It also offers power generation packages (100kW and above), pump solutions for water and fluid handling, and the patented NOMAD™ mobile compressor for remote or rapid-response deployment. Bidell operates from two manufacturing facilities in Calgary and Weirton, West Virginia, supported by 14 Parts & Service locations across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and Northern USA, with a rental fleet of 70+ units exceeding 60,000 horsepower.

The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Total Energy Services, acquired in 1998, and operates as a vertically integrated industrial OEM combining custom manufacturing, a recurring aftermarket parts and service business, and a flexible equipment rental channel. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of engineered compression packages, subscription-style rental contracts (including rent-to-own), professional services for maintenance and retrofit, and OEM parts distribution across multiple engine and compressor brands. Customers are primarily upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas operators, with secondary exposure to power generation, mining, and water/fluid handling verticals. Bidell holds Platinum Solution Provider status within the INNIO Waukesha Gas Compression Packager Program and is led by a management team averaging decades of compression-industry experience.
