Who we are
Founded in 1993, Eastern Energy Services is one of the few privately-owned energy service providers in the United States. We are a safety-focused, solutions-driven, battle-tested operation dedicated to giving our clients the equipment, personnel, and support they need to ensure ongoing project success that spans the life of the well.

We are Eastern Energy Services, and we were Built for This.

OUR PRESIDENT
A native Mississippian with a passion for bringing people and projects to their full potentials, Nick Welch has been at the helm of Eastern Energy Services since 2003. Welch purchased Eastern Fishing & Rental from its original owner, Randy Wall, who founded the company in 1993.
Welch grew Eastern’s product line offerings from southern Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. In 2004 and 2008, Eastern purchased two other fishing and rental companies in the market and continued to grow. In 2011, leveraging Mr. Welch’s previous experience owning Flare Stacks & Production Well Testers, Eastern expanded into the flowback and pressure control product lines to better support the needs of its growing market. Moving into such product lines allowed Eastern to develop expertise working in ultra-sour and high CO2 Gulf Coast conventional fields in Alabama and Florida.
In 2019, Nick Welch bought out remaining partners and acquired 100% of Eastern Fishing & Rental. In 2018, Eastern made its entry into the Haynesville Shale basin and opening a flowback yard in Longview, Texas. From there, Eastern continued to grow its offerings in the Haynesville Shale by adding pressure control and torque and test services. In 2020, Eastern opened a fishing yard in Longview.
Due to growth in multiple product lines unrelated to fishing, Eastern Fishing & Rental was rebranded as Eastern Energy Services. In 2020, Eastern Energy Services acquired the NextTier coil division in Laurel, MS and began to offer coil, nitrogen, and acidizing services along the Gulf Coast. Later that year, Eastern expanded its coil services into the Haynesville market. In September 2023, Eastern Energy Services acquired the assets of a coiled tubing provider, which operated large diameter coiled tubing units in Midland and Pleasanton, Texas.
Eastern now offers services across all product lines from districts located in Midland, Pleasanton, Longview, and Marshall, TX as well as Laurel, MS and Cottondale, AL. These districts enable the company to serve our customers from the Delaware Basin in New Mexico to the panhandle of Florida.
“People need to know they have support from leadership, and clients need to know that you’re putting it all on the line to make their projects successful,” Welch said, “If over thirty years in the oilfield has taught me anything, it’s that constant communication and thorough procedures win over any kind of quick fix. We’re in the business of doing things the right way.”
