H2S Services
|
Safety Boss was the first company in
Canada to specialize in H2S Services. For over 70
years a large percentage of Canada gas production has been from wells containing
H2S. In some wells routine gas production has been maintained
for decades with H2S concentrations of over 90%.

Starting in 1956 it introduced the first
“H2S package” or “air trailers” as they are more commonly
known today. The original package, which also included fire fighting, first
aid and rescue equipment and was designed for the protection of drilling
and service rig crews working on sour wells in the large Pembina field near
Drayton Valley in Alberta, Canada.
Since that
small beginning Safety Boss has become a world leader in frontline H2S technology.
The company has supplied H2S specialists and H2S equipment in numerous
countries on five different continents. It has developed it own line of H2S packages
and associated accessory equipment packages, which are sold worldwide. The
development of this equipment has been a continually evolving process that
directly results from Safety Boss’s own on-going and hands-on experience
with the use of these systems. As a result of the companies program of continual
improvement in 2000 Safety Boss completely changed all of its breathing air
equipment to high-pressure (4500 psi) systems.
Critical Sour Drilling Operations
“Critical Sour
Drilling” is a term used in Canada for drilling operations that have the
potential to encounter dangerous volumes and concentrations of H2S.
The primary focus of a critically sour emergency response plan (ERP) involves
the ability to deal with an uncontrolled release of H2S.
Safety Boss has specialized in these types of operations since the inception
of this category of drilling and servicing activities.
We don’t just
rent and service the equipment we are also the primary users. Over the years
the company’s H2S & fire fighting Specialists have logged several
thousand hours of accident free operations while working in actual lethal
concentrations of H2S. In one incident alone a Safety Boss crew worked
over two months in a concentration of 28% H2S, completing more
than 2000 hours of work in breathing air equipment. Due to the extreme toxicity
of hydrogen sulfide large-scale H2S recovery operations are very complex and no other
company has the depth of real-time experience in staging these operations.
Almost all of Safety Boss’s H2S Specialists have been involved in H2S blowout
recovery operations therefore they also have this invaluable real H2S exposure.
