Founded in 1949, the Canadian Association of Energy Contractors is an industry organization representing Canadian energy services companies involved in contract drilling and well servicing. The private company is based in Calgary, Canada. The association rebranded in 2021 to reflect an expanded mandate that includes sectors such as hydrogen, helium, geothermal, and carbon capture. Its membership comprises 89 companies operating drilling and service rigs nationwide, primarily in the western sedimentary basin and extending to Atlantic Canada. The association focuses on government advocacy, industry relations, standardization, workforce attraction, and promoting responsible stewardship and sustainability. It provides members with resources such as industry statistics, rig activity data, forecasts, recommended practices, master service agreements, and training programs including safety courses and rig technician certifications. The association also offers career resources, job boards, and information on rig operations and crew roles, and engages members through events and networking opportunities. Additional member benefits include preferred insurance rates, discounts on health and safety platforms, and exclusive retail offers.
