Rock Energy

What Rock Energy does

Rock Energy is a privately held Canadian energy services company founded in 1992 by Michael Bonaville II and headquartered in St. Catharines, Ontario. The firm serves oil and gas operators across Canada and the US with a portfolio of technical services spanning commissioning and startup, SCADA-based automation, oilfield equipment rentals (notably mobile and skid steam boilers), energy rate negotiation consulting, deregulation advisory, emissions management (LDAR, fugitive emissions monitoring, carbon offsets), flow meter calibration, and meter proving and testing. Its technology stack centers on supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) for real-time turnaround monitoring, high-precision laser- and infrared-based leak detection, and an integrated emissions analytics platform that consolidates LDAR surveys, continuous leak detection data, and calibration logs into a single dashboard.

The business model is predominantly B2B professional services delivered through direct enterprise field sales, with revenue generated from project-based commissioning engagements, recurring LDAR and calibration programs, equipment rentals, and consulting engagements. Distribution is hybrid: direct sales across Canada and the US, supplemented by strategic partnerships with Harvest Oilfield Services (mobile boilers) and Intricate Group (emissions management and Alt-FEMP expertise). Customers are enterprise-tier oil and gas operators, energy service companies, and energy brokers seeking compliance, measurement integrity, and turnaround support. Pricing is quote-based and customized per project scope, with no publicly disclosed tiers. The company is led by CEO George Kantstandya and CMO Jennifer Tarter, and has publicly stated intent to expand into the Middle East by 2025.
