PVT Group

What PVT Group does

PVT Group is a privately-held Western Canadian oilfield service company headquartered in Grande Prairie, Alberta, providing fluid hauling, vacuum services, and 24/7 logistics and dispatching to oil and gas operators. The company traces its operating lineage to 1993 (founder Kurt Campbell's first trucking company, sold in 2005), and the current entity was established in 2006 with the launch of Performance Vac & Tank Services Ltd. In 2016, PVT Group of Companies was formed as an umbrella entity over three wholly-owned subsidiaries — Performance Vac & Tank Services Ltd (vacuum truck and tank services), Triumph Oilfield Hauling Inc (oilfield hauling), and Spider Rentals Ltd (equipment rentals) — and in 2019 acquired Rockwater Energy Solutions' Canadian arm, enabling cross-border fluid movement, expansion into the Dawson Creek area, and entry into frac sand hauling.

PVT's core products are organized around three service lines: hydrovac and combovac services delivered via tri-drive combovacs with pup trailers, tri-axle hydrovacs, vac pups, and GAMAJET EZ-8/1V rotary impingement tank cleaning equipment; fluid hauling using stainless or aluminum tank trucks in triaxle, tri-quad, and Super B configurations with scrubbers; and 24/7 dispatch services. GPS tracking is deployed on every unit for real-time optimization and customer transparency. The company holds multiple safety and compliance certifications (Avetta, ComplyWorks, ISN, CQN, WCB, AMTA) and has been awarded Shell Green Banded status, indicating preferred-supplier recognition with Shell. Operating bases include the head office in Grande Prairie, dispatch yards in Grande Prairie (Tank and Vac), a dispatch location in Cliffdale, and a sales office in Calgary.

The business model is B2B service-based, with revenue derived from contract- and project-based engagements priced per job rather than via disclosed unit pricing. Sales motion is enterprise field sales targeted at oil and gas operators across Western Canada (Grande Prairie, Dawson Creek, Fort Nelson, Rainbow Lake regions). Customers are enterprise oil and gas clients spanning fracturing, fluids management, and production operations, with Shell publicly named as a Green Banded partner. Headcount is reported in the 51-100 employee band, leadership is founder-anchored (Kurt Campbell as President, Shannon Seafoot as CEO), and no external institutional investor involvement is evidenced.
