Turning Data Into Wisdom
January 22, 2021

1988. It doesn’t seem that long ago, does it? Die Hard, Big and Cocktail were hit movies in the theatres that year. The Winter Olympics were held in Calgary. Wayne Gretzky won his last of four Stanley Cups with the Oilers. Sweet Child ‘O Mine, Man in the Mirror and Don’t Worry, Be Happy were number 1 songs on the Billboard Charts. 

And NL Fisher Supervision & Engineering Ltd. (NL Fisher) was founded.

For most of the 33 years since we opened our doors, our clients, partners and service providers have come to value and trust us to exceed their cradle-to-grave requirements for all aspects of their upstream oil and gas operations. 

From project management to well-site construction, abandonment to regulatory and administrative services, completions engineering to drilling engineering and field supervision – we’ve been relentlessly committed to maximizing your project’s potential.

While exceptional delivery of these services to our clients remains our core business, how we deliver these services has changed considerably since 1988. 

The Evolution of An Industry and of NL Fisher

The energy industry has constantly evolved and become more sophisticated – relying on ever increasing amounts of data to drive down costs, continuously improve performance and become more efficient with every dollar of capital spent. 

We’ve evolved too.

In 2010, we began databasing everything – collecting, leveraging and augmenting publicly available data with our own operational data to improve our performance and deliver better results to our clients. 

Since then, we’ve continuously sought ways to use data analytics to evolve and improve the breadth and quality of the services we deliver to the clients we serve. 

Our aim was clear – we sought solutions to identify best in class operations and contrast them with under-performing offsets – but existing software platforms didn’t provide timely evaluation of our top KPIs and metrics.

So we made software development investments in MVP versions of software to support our Vision and Mission.

These software applications support all aspects of project workflow including capital efficiency, performance benchmarking, workflow management, engineering analysis and performance delivery.

“We’re data fanatics”

Today, we combine leading edge software, field-proven well construction techniques, data-driven offset analysis and a risk-based approach to technology with the latest in drilling, completions and project management techniques to successfully deliver our clients objectives.

“We’ve become data fanatics,” said Mike Cameron, President and CEO, of NL Fisher. “We turn data into wisdom by leveraging a decade of field-gathered and tested processes and workflows, providing our clients with predictable, accurate future results.”

“By taking care of thousands of micro-details we provide ultimate value to our clients.”
