Mr. Odgers has been involved in the South East Saskatchewan oilfield his entire life. Growing up on a cattle farm north of Oxbow, SK, he started as a service rig floor hand at the age of 16 working summers through high school and then college. In 1995 Mr. Odgers joined Producers Pipelines Inc. (purchased and later renamed Enbridge Pipelines) as their first Information Systems Analyst. In this lead role, he planned, developed and supported the company’s local IT infrastructure which included field communication and data capture, all while sitting on the company’s Occupational Health and Safety committee for 8 years.
In 2008 Mr.Odgers helped found Paragon Energy Services in Saskatchewan, being in charge of all operations and sales. Paragon primarily supplied the local drilling industry with surface rental equipment. The company quickly gained market share with a reputation for being honest and fair with customers. In Feb 2010, only 2 years since inception, Paragon was sold to Black Diamond Energy Services, with shareholders getting a return of more than 5 times their original investment.
In 2010 Mr. Odgers along with three local businessmen incorporated Certified Energy Services. In three years the company has grown from operating one service rig to six. In 2014 Certified Energy Services expanded their extensive experience from the oilfield to caverns and potash operating four rigs.
