Our story

Grown one service at a time.

Rahul Patel founded TCES after seeing the need for more efficient, innovative service in oil and gas. Here is how a small South Texas crew became one of the youngest workover fleets in the country. Milestones & events →

  1. The start

    Eagle Ford roots

    TCES began in South Texas with a small crew and two chemical mixing plants.

  2. Growing

    More plants, more services

    The mixing plant fleet grew, then flowback, well testing and torque & test crews joined.

  3. 2018

    Into the Permian

    TCES moved into West Texas. The Permian is now the heart of our rig work.

  4. Expanding

    Workover rigs and trucking

    We launched our workover rig fleet and the TCES Trucking Division, then kept adding rigs.

  5. East Texas

    Shreveport opens

    A facility in Shreveport, Louisiana put crews and equipment close to the Haynesville.

  6. Today

    34 rigs and 18 more on the way

    One of the youngest workover fleets in the U.S., with completion, production, trucking and data crews working alongside it.
