We look forward to driving a process that seeks to uplist our company to the OTCQB or OTCQX, and ultimately, to a national securities exchange.”

“Oilfield services is a very unique industry where extremely hard working individuals such as rig hands, roustabouts, and truck drivers wear their company’s logo with a sense of pride and loyalty,” stated JD Reedy, Wolf Energy Services COO. “Our recent merger with Enviro positions Wolf Energy for success through a new public platform, combined with our company’s long-term customer base and reputation for safe and efficient operations.
