This acquisition will provide equipment, personnel, and management for a new location that Flint is constructing in Williston, North Dakota, to provide oilfield hauling services in the active Bakken shale oil play in North Dakota.

The company claims that the acquisition will allow Flint to expand its operations into the shale gas fields in the US.

Flint began with fluid hauling services in Vernal, Utah, and recently expanded into the Marcellus shale gas basin, moving under-utilized equipment from western Canada to its new Williamsport, Pennsylvania location.
