Bonnetts has been a trusted name in downhole operations since 1972. We’re proud to have built a reputation on the back of our state-of-the-art technology and a team of some of the top operators in British Columbia and Alberta.
We’re dedicated to bringing only the best skills, knowledge, and experience to the table. Thanks to this dedication, we’ve become a recognized leader in our core service areas, including wireline, production, and pumping.
Our turnkey solutions are backed by an ironclad commitment to safety and service, so you can trust your needs are in good hands.
Our commitment to serving oil companies in North-Eastern British Columbia and Alberta started in 1972, when we began operations in Fort St. John, BC. We were founded on a dedication to improvement, evolution, and customer-centred service, which has remained with us to this day.
Since then, the Bonnetts family has expanded to include several specialized divisions, each dedicated to a specific aspect of downhole operations.
Murray Toews brings over 30 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, all with Bonnetts. He attained a Business Diploma from Red Deer College (RDC) in 1990. His first role at Bonnetts was shop hand, before going on to serve in other positions such as wireline operator, field sales, dispatch manager and general manager when the corporation was known as Bonnetts Wireline Services Ltd.
Mr. Toews became a shareholder at Bonnetts in 1994 and served as General Manager until 1998, at which time he and three partners purchased Bonnetts from company founder Gerald Bonnett. Mr. Toews successfully spearheaded the evolution of Bonnetts, initially through its IPO as an income trust (2005), a conversion of the trust to a corporation (2011), a private corporation in November 2013 with Mill City Capital, a private equity partner, and ultimately returning Bonnetts to its roots as a private corporation owned by the Management Team.
Mr. Toews’ vision has guided Bonnetts through substantial growth, expanding a trusted slickline service group into the multifaceted service company it is today.
Troy Tews joined Bonnett’s Energy Corp in January 2006 as the General Manager of Boreal Well Services. He became the Vice President of Operations in December 2006, and was appointed to the position of Chief Operating Officer (his current role) in 2012. Troy is a committed partner of the private corporation, with upmost attention given to HSE and Service Delivery.
Mr. Tews brings over 30 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. He holds a BSc in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Alberta (1993). Before joining Bonnetts, he spent 12 years with Schlumberger in multiple disciplines in Canada, the USA and the Middle East.
Carrie Lonardelli joined the Bonnetts team in January 2014 as Chief Financial Officer.
Before joining Bonnetts, Carrie owned and operated an enterprise that provided CFO services to owner-managed businesses in Calgary. Prior to starting her own business, she was the VP of Finance at Phoenix Technology Services (8 years) and served a broad range of clients with KPMG in both Winnipeg and Calgary (7 years).
Carrie currently serves on the board of directors of Open to Grow, an organization providing microcredit loans to women in Guatemala, and is a past committee member of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Manitoba.
Carrie holds a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Manitoba (2000). In 2001, she completed her Chartered Accountant designation with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Manitoba.
