Intervale Capital (“Intervale”), an energy-focused private equity firm, has invested alongside a veteran management team to form Entegra, LLP (“Entegra”). Entegra provides in-line inspection (“ILI)” services to the energy industry. The company currently has engineering, R&D and ILI tool fabrication resources in Toronto, Ontario with sales and field operations based out of Houston, Texas and Indianapolis, Indiana. The company plans to expand its footprint to offer pipeline inspection and integrity services in all active pipeline markets in the United States and Canada.
Mark Olson serves as Entegra’s President. He brings over 25 years of pipeline integrity experience to the company, and leads a team of veteran engineering, operations and sales professionals. Mark previously led the team that formed Cornerstone Pipeline Inspection Group (“CPIG”) in 2001, which quickly gained traction by pioneering an innovative high resolution MFL/Caliper combo ILI tool, or “smart pig”. CPIG was ultimately acquired by Baker Hughes Incorporated(NYSE:BHI) in 2003.
Mr. Olson commented, “Given increasing customer demand for accurate data, reduced report turnaround time and overall reliability of ILI runs, the Entegra team is eager to again provide inspection services with next generation tools and industry leading service quality. We are already seeing inbound inquiries from customers who know that their needs will be met by a proven team. We’re thrilled to partner with Intervale and look forward to working with them to accelerate Entegra’s growth strategy.”
Jason Turowsky, Partner at Intervale, commented, “We are very excited to back atop-notch management team with deep industry experience. Pipeline integrity management is of great importance to the industry, the public and the environment. Entegra offers best-in-class technology and services to help pipeline operators achieve safe and optimal operation of their pipeline assets.”
Jason Arnoldy, Vice President at Intervale, added, “By focusing on innovative ILI technology, providing unmatched customer service and creating a culture excellence, Mark and his team have established an outstanding reputation among pipeline operators over the course of their careers. We are fully committed to supporting Entegra as demand grows for its products and services.”
