Our Story
Why Not Energy Services was founded in 2017 by Bill and Teresa Birch, built on decades of experience in Alberta’s oil and gas industry.
After successfully building and selling our first company in 2015, we quickly realized retirement wasn’t for us. With a lifelong passion for the industry and a commitment to delivering exceptional service, we decided to do what we know best; build another company from the ground up.
From day one, our vision has been simple: provide safe, reliable, and professional oilfield services while building long-term relationships with our customers and employees. What started as a trucking operation has grown into a diversified oilfield services company specializing in fluid logistics, chemical supply, specialized transportation, and production support across Northern and Central Alberta.
Today, Why Not Energy Services operates from our headquarters in Grande Prairie, with additional operations in Fox Creek, Whitecourt, and our Remote Chemical Hub in La Glace. This regional network allows us to provide responsive service, reliable chemical supply, and efficient logistics solutions wherever our customers operate.
As our company continues to grow, our values remain unchanged. We believe in working hard, treating people with respect, investing in our employees and equipment, and conducting business with honesty, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to safety. We’re proud to be a Canadian-owned and operated company, and we look forward to continuing to support Alberta’s energy industry for years to come.
