Blackhawk Specialty Tools LLC has expanded its international operations in Mexico with the opening of a new subsidiary and operating facility in Villahermosa, Mexico, in the heart of the expanding Mexican oil and gas market.

The new facility will be at Cardenas S/N KM 8 R/A. Anacleto Canabal 2da. Seccion, Centro, Villahermosa, Tabasco C.P. 86280 Mexico.

Besides investing in infrastructure within Mexico, Blackhawk will hire and train local employees with a goal to build strong partnerships with both national and independent oil and gas companies. Blackhawk brings the latest technology in well construction, surge reduction and well intervention products and services to the Mexican market.

“As Blackhawk continues to become better known outside the United States and respected throughout the oil and gas industry, the demand for our services continues to grow,” said Billy Brown, Blackhawk’s president and CEO. “I am extremely excited about our new Mexico facility and believe the rapidly growing international market is a perfect complement to our significant market position in the U.S. onshore and offshore Gulf of Mexico markets.

“As the leading provider of cementing tools and products in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, expansion into the Mexican Gulf of Mexico is a natural next step for Blackhawk. The recent efforts to allow exploration to leading operators around the world has opened the door for innovation and new technology and will allow both operators and service companies like Blackhawk to share and gain expertise; invest in the local economy and workforce; and improve safety, efficiency and quality to improve oil and gas operations throughout Mexico.”
