Superior Well Services oil- and gas-well service company operating in Continental United States.

According to the company's site, they provide "oil and gas companies with technical pumping and downhole surveying services. We place special emphasis on protecting the environment and equipping and training our employees to perform their functions without undue risk. In the specific application of shale-gas service work, where hydraulic-fracture stimulation requires pumping massive volumes of water-based fracturing fluids, we apply our own award-winning technology that enables us to use water recovered from a fracture job as source water for the next fracture job. Consequently, our shale-gas service work greatly reduces the demand on freshwater sources, and at the same time reduces the expense of fracture stimulation."
