ABOUT OUR BUSINESS

Solutions for Success

Arrowhead Abandonments was formed in 2018, when two brothers combined their skill-sets of engineering, supervision and downhole tools. Arrowhead Abandonments is a First Nations owned and operated company, who are looking to promote Aboriginal employment. Our band is Peepeekisis by Fort Qu’Appelle SK, but we also have offices in Coleville SK, Frog Lake First Nation and Brooks AB. We strive to maintain an Indigenous workforce when qualifications are met, including contract services.

Kevin has been specializing in strictly abandonments for the last 7 years, completing both large and small projects in a timely and cost effective manner, for numerous oil and gas companies. His vast knowledge and extensive experience can compliment many different abandonment applications.

Clayton Heck C.E.T.

Clayton Heck, a proud member of Peepeekisis First Nation, began his oilfield career in 1994 on a service rig out of Brooks, Alberta. Known for his commitment and leadership, Clayton quickly advanced in the energy sector, eventually founding his own Wellsite Supervision company in 2005, where he played a pivotal role in setting up early horizontal fracking operations that improved efficiency and safety. His tenure as a field abandonment site supervisor for Cenovus from 2011 to 2015 deepened his expertise in downhole abandonments and environmental management.

In 2018, Clayton expanded his technical skills by earning a Petroleum Engineering Technologist diploma from SAIT and obtaining his C.E.T. certification through ASET. Alongside his brother, Kevin, he co-founded Arrowhead Abandonments Inc., integrating their Indigenous heritage into the company's mission to foster connections with Indigenous communities. Clayton’s career is marked by his adaptability, dedication to safety, and commitment to Indigenous representation, establishing him as a respected leader in abandonment and reclamation. Clayton will help you design leading edge, safe and cost effective programs and mitigate many troubles before they can ever surface.
