TRANSCRIPT
MAXX North America Services Ltd. began active operations in 2009. MAXX is a privately owned and operated company managed by a partnership group with over 100 years of oil, gas, and pipeline experience. Paramount to all stakeholders of Maxx is the safe execution of our work on a daily basis. Our comprehensive safety program has allowed us to earn and maintain our COR Audit status.

The company has operational bases in Edmonton, AB and Billings, MT with sales offices in Calgary, AB and San Antonio, TX.

MAXX has completed projects in Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario; and North Dakota, Ohio, New York, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Wyoming, Oklahoma and Colorado in the U.S.
MAXX specializes in assisting oil & gas and pipeline operators with their facility and pipeline maintenance programs by providing a wide-range of pipeline construction and maintenance solutions. Initially, our goal was to become a “one-stop-shop” for pipeline maintenance. MAXX has strategically grown its services to now include the initial pig cleaning runs, In-Line Inspection tools, Pig Tracking and Integrity Digs. MAXX also operates a Water Management and De-watering department providing water transfer solutions to the Oil & Gas Completions industry. In addition, MAXX carries speciality lines including DiamondWrap® HP™ Pipeline Repair and Primus Line trenchless rehabilitation and overland flexible pipe.
To ensure the smooth transition from the field to the office, MAXX has developed a proprietary software, Pathways, used for daily field ticketing, “real time” cost accumulation for the client and job estimating for MAXX.
MAXX is committed to assisting both the junior and major producers and transmission companies achieve their goals and budgets in a safe and cost-effective manner.

Company Overview
Customized Solutions to Assist
in the Execution of your Pipeline
Integrity Program
MAXX North America Services Ltd. has a Pipeline Maintenance Services department specializing in providing you with the right personnel, equipment and on-the-ground expertise to ensure your pipelines and facilities are properly maintained and adequately prepared in order for you to implement your In-Line Inspection (ILI) programs.
Today’s pipeline integrity program landscape requires unique solutions from operators and, in many cases, pipeline specific scenarios in order to ensure an ILI program is successful. Operators are under more stringent regulations and are also forced to contend with resource pool and budget constraints in the process of completing their integrity programs.
MAXX is familiar with the challenges operators face and has been providing many of the major pipeline operators with specialized solutions to their pipeline integrity maintenance programs since we opened for business. We are versed in a wide range of pipeline maintenance activities, including, but not limited to, pipeline utility pigging, ILI program coordination, suspensions and abandonments, large scale pipeline cleaning operations management, torqueing and tensioning services and portable separators.
Regardless of the scope or magnitude of your pipeline integrity program, MAXX has the experience to provide tailored support and equipment solutions, ensuring your programs are completed safely, efficiently, and within budget.

“The Pipeline Operator’s
Repair of Choice”
Pipeline defects, anomalies, wrinkles, corrosion, gouges and arc burns are regular, reoccurring
challenges faced by pipeline operators the world over. Historically, shutting in, purging lines, and
applying remediation has been a costly process. Hot work, lost production time, heavy equipment
and costly repairs have been just some of the challenges faced when scheduling the work.
DiamondWrap® HP™ is an engineered carbon fiber composite wrap system to rehabilitate and
restore original operational strength to pipelines and piping systems, enabling maximum allowable
operating pressure without shutting down. MAXX North America Services Ltd. is a supplier and
certified installer of DiamondWrap® HP™, one of several composite products offered by Citadel
Technologies.
This technology is a permanent, cost-effective and reliable solution that is patented, CSA
compliant, and ASME PCC-2 approved.
Whether your line is corroded, eroded, dented or wrinkled, DiamondWrap® HP™ is the pipeline
operator’s repair choice for maintaining the integrity of your buried facilities. Each repair is
individually engineered and can be easily installed on girth welds, field bends, seam welds, elbows,
tees and other complex geometries. There are no hot works and shutdown is not required during
installation. Installation time typically takes no more than a few hours for the average repair,
leading to same-day backfill, enabling the entire process to be completed in a single day.
When disruption in production is not an option, DiamondWrap® HP™ is there to assist with your
Pipeline Integrity Program. Maintain operations, maintain capacity, and reduce your repair costs by
selecting Citadel Technologies’ engineered composite repair systems.

The evolution of water management requirements within the Western Canadian
Sedimentary Basin exploration and production industry requires innovative approaches and

system, meeting your project’s prescribed deliverables, thus mitigating unforeseen and
unaccounted for operational irregularities.

Primus Line®
“The prime solution for
pipes.”
Designed, developed and manufactured in Germany, Primus Line® is an innovative technology for
the transfer of a variety of fluids, including freshwater, produced water, and oil and gas products. This
technology is applicable for both the trenchless rehabilitation of existing lines, and the transfer of fluids
via an overland flexible pipe. The two part system is based on a flexible, high-pressure composite pipe
and a specialized, flange-style connecting technology developed specifically for this application.
Traditionally, the Primus Line® range of products have been used by municipalities and public
institutions for the trenchless rehabilitation of pressurized pipelines such as water lines. Primus
Line’s® unique design, featuring an abrasion resistant polyethylene inner and outer sheath, extruded
through a seamless Kevlar aramid fabric braid, provides the system with industry leading strength and
unmatched durability.
Recently however, the Primus Line® product has found interest in the oil and gas industry for its ability
to safely and reliably transfer produced and flowback water. Historically, produced and flowback waters
have predominantly been transferred via HDPE pipe, steel pipe, or trucked off-site during the plant
upgrading and hydraulic fracturing processes. As an alternative, the Primus Line® is both portable and
temporary in its application.
With the advent of Primus Line®, E&P firms now have an environmentally sound and economically
viable alternative for the transfer of their produced water assets. Whether pumping flowback water
between frac sites or pumping produced water from a plant, the Primus Line® exceeds all other above-
ground layflat hoses on the market today and offers a cost competitive alternative for the handling of
produced water.
Applications & Services Listing:
Overland Transfer of Produced and Flowback Waters
Trenchless Rehabilitation of Pipelines
Rehabilitation of Pipelines Buried Beneath Waterways
Rehabilitation of Fluid Transfer Pipelines Requiring the Negotiation of Bends
Rehabilitation of Long Pipelines (up to 2km Supplied on a Single Drum)
Pipeline Rehabilitation with Minimal Allowances for Construction Footprint
