CES Energy Solutions reduces inattentive driving by 90% with Samsara

Gaps in fleet visibility increased safety risks

Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, CES Energy Solutions is a leading provider of consumable chemical solutions across the oilfield lifecycle. With operations spanning Western Canada and all major U.S. basins, CES' divisions—including Canadian Energy Services, AES Drilling Fluids, PureChem Services, and Jacam Catalyst—support some of North America's largest and most complex energy producers.

With teams operating in remote, high-risk environments, on-the-road safety was an ongoing challenge. Field personnel often traveled long distances to reach oil and gas sites, navigating highways, rural backroads, and rugged resource roads with tightly enforced speed limits. These routes wound through dense forests, open prairies, mountainous terrain, and active industrial zones—each with its own hazards. Workers frequently faced unpredictable conditions such as blowing snow, hail, freezing rain, thick fog, and wildfires that could trigger sudden evacuation orders. In these mixed environments, even minor gaps in fleet visibility could lead to serious consequences.

Limited insight into driver behaviour made it difficult for safety teams to proactively identify risks or respond effectively. CES needed a more reliable way to monitor fleet activity, support drivers in the field, and maintain visibility in dynamic operating conditions.
