Bison Oilfield Services closes purchase of S&S Star Water Solutions

Bison Oilfield Services, an Oklahoma-based energy services firm, has completed the purchase of water infrastructure firm S&S Star Water Solutions for undisclosed amount.

Following the completion of the deal, all S&S employees will remain with the firm.

S&S president Ryan Surroz will become the president of Bison’s water infrastructure division.

With this acquisition, Bison will become a fully-integrated water midstream company that has assets in major basins of Oklahoma.

In addition to the water midstream division, Bison and its affiliates provide several upstream and midstream services including environmental services, trucking and logistics, midstream manufacturing and fabrication, and pipeline construction.

Bison CEO North Whipple said: “This transaction marks a significant milestone for Bison, a company we started only three years ago. The recent downturn has presented many challenges for our industry, but as other service companies downsized, restructured or relocated assets to Texas, Bison went all in on Oklahoma.”

Bison and its affiliates have over 1,500 employees, 300 transport trucks, 17 yards, 25 commercial disposal facilities and an integrated network of water collection infrastructure in major oil and gas plays of the state.

Whipple added: “Acquiring S&S was a logical next step for us as we significantly expand our water midstream activities in the region and look to double our operations over the next twelve months.”

Surroz said: “The S&S team has built the largest integrated commercial water infrastructure asset in the SCOOP, STACK and Merge in two years. I am truly proud of what we’ve accomplished in such a short period of time. Now we are excited to join with the Bison team to accelerate our growth across the state, which will allow us to deliver even greater value to our customers.”
