Setting
Industry Standards

Frontier Engineering has produced a library of engineering manuals that are used as standard references at major universities, gas and oil exploration companies, and by consultants, contractors and project managers.

"A survey of consulting firms located in Calgary was conducted. The thought was to assign the task of drilling planning and supervision to the best qualified engineering firm that specialized in these activities. After a thorough review of some five firms, FRONTIER was selected".
