What CPPE does
CPPE (Canadian Petroleum Processing Equipment Inc.) is a privately held Canadian engineering and fabrication company founded in 2001 (with principals active in petroleum industries since 1983), headquartered in Richmond Hill, Ontario. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, and supplies custom skid-mounted and modular equipment for crude oil and gas processing, including separators, desalters, heater treaters, manifolds, chemical injection skids, custody transfer metering stations, pig launchers/receivers, instrument air packages, flares, degassing boots, heat exchangers, and storage tanks. Core technology spans process, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, civil/structural, and piping engineering, with fabrication certified to ASME 'U' and 'S' Stamps, TEMA, API, NFPA, IEEE, NACE, and ASTM standards, and automation integration through DCS/PLC/SCADA systems from major OEMs. CPPE also delivers full EPC services and turn-key Early Production Facilities (EPFs) with documented capacity up to 25,000 BPSD (AGOCO Hamada, 2013), 120,000 BPD two-phase separators (AGOCO Sarir GC-3, 2010), and 50,000 BPD three-phase separators (Zueitina, 2012).
The company's commercial model is enterprise project-based: revenue is earned through custom-engineered equipment fabrication contracts (one-time per order), EPC project contracts, procurement agency fees on sourced OEM parts, and recurring-but-project-tied HSE, project management, and technical consulting services. Pricing is quote-based with no published rate cards. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, augmented by trade show presence (ADIPEC, Global Petroleum Show). The customer base is highly concentrated in Libyan national oil companies (AGOCO, Waha, Harouge, Zueitina, Sirte, Mellitah, Ras Lanuf, Azawiya) plus Yemen (PetroMasila), with regional presence maintained through a wholly-owned Libya subsidiary (CPPE-Libya), a Houston logistics hub, and a Muscat operations support partner. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, revenue, or ownership structure beyond founding principals.
