Strength through partnership

A contract signed recently between Aurora Expediting Services (AES) of Inuvik, and Devon Canada Corporation, of Calgary, is a testament to the strength the BBE group of companies brings to customers doing work in remote areas of Canada’s north.

AES’ knowledge and experience in supporting oil and gas explorers within the Beaufort Delta Region, combined with BBE’s solid track record, expertise, infrastructure and technological capability in logistics created the right fit for Devon’s needs.

BBE is working closely with Devon to customize its web based freight tracking system to enable offshore, onshore and head office personnel to electronically monitor the status of the shipments and materials from the time of order to the time the goods are stored in inventory aboard Devon’s offshore drilling platform.

AES and BBE are very excited Devon has subcontracted this critical logistics and expediting function for their first arctic offshore well to an outside company, demonstrating trust and confidence in the capabilities of the AES/BBE partnership.

Hank Bakker, Northern Group Leader, Drilling, Devon Canada Corporation, Calgary (L) congratulates Stuart Russell, President, Aurora Expediting Services, Inuvik (R) on the awarding of Devon’s Expediting & Logistics support services contract for 2005/2006 to Aurora Expediting Services

“Inuvik’s Aurora Expediting Services was awarded the Devon Canada Corporation Master Goods and Services Agreement for Expediting and Logistics Services for the planned Devon Beaufort Sea offshore drilling program in 2005/2006. Aurora Expediting Services (AES) and its joint venture partner, Braden-Burry Expediting (BBE) of Yellowknife, developed a comprehensive suite of services to provide Devon with ‘Source to Site’ transportation solutions and meet Devon’s information and data management requirements for the project” stated Stuart Russell, President, AES.

“AES and BBE were well positioned to meet the needs of this project. We are utilizing BBE’s Alberta facilities and web-based freight tracking systems and merging them with the Inuvik staff, resources and capabilities of AES and the other Inuvik-based IDC transportation companies, Aklak Air and Aklak Canadian Helicopters,” states Sean Gray, the IDC Aviation Services Manager who oversees the Inuvik expediting operation.

Gray added that “In 2002 when BBE and the Inuvialuit Development Corporation established AES, there were great hopes that in time we would collectively bring new technology, systems and training to the region, so AES could participate in important project such as the Devon Paktoa well. We are very excited to be working with Devon on their new offshore project and believe we can add value through our efforts.”
