Hunting Energy Services Invests $25.8 Million To Expand Its Houma, Louisiana, Production Facility
06/21/2013
The energy services business provides well construction, well completion and well intervention services, including wireline and coiled tubing accessories. In Houma, the company combined operations from two former buildings into a state-of-the-art complex. Located on 57 acres near U.S. 90, the new Hunting Energy Services complex is nearly six times the size of its former manufacturing buildings. The Terrebonne Parish site maintains the company’s presence near customers and suppliers as Hunting expands its offerings of oilfield equipment and supplies.
“Hunting Energy Services has a long history of servicing the oil and gas industry in Louisiana,” said Johnson, the company’s COO. “We appreciate the commitment of Governor Jindal and the state’s leadership to allow Hunting’s continued support of the region. We are making a long-term investment to further growth of our manufacturing operations in Houma. We are dedicated to our employees, customers, the Houma-Terrebonne region and the State of Louisiana in providing a foundation for a safe and environmentally sound base of operations.”
Gov. Bobby Jindal said, “We’re proud that Hunting Energy Services chose Louisiana for this new oilfield supply manufacturing facility. Nowhere in the world will you find a more dedicated and skilled energy workforce than right here in our state – that’s why Louisiana continues to be the top investment choice for companies in the oil and gas business. Indeed, Hunting Energy could have invested anywhere in the world, but chose Louisiana because of our strong business climate, unrivaled workforce and world-class energy infrastructure. We’re confident Hunting Energy Services will continue our economy’s momentum by providing great jobs for Louisianians so they can pursue their dreams right here at home.”
LED’s Business Expansion and Retention Group began working with Hunting Energy Services and the Terrebonne Economic Development Authority on the potential expansion opportunity in July 2011. To secure the project, the state offered the company a $325,000 Modernization Tax Credit, which will be claimed over five years. Hunting Energy Services also is expected to utilize the state’s Industrial Tax Exemption Program.
“Attracting a high-quality energy manufacturer like Huntington to our region is a testament to not just what we do in the energy industry, but also to what we know about it,” said South Louisiana Economic Council CEO Vic Lafont. “For our workforce, this doesn’t just translate into jobs – but quality jobs.”
