Midland-based Warrior Technologies said last week it acquired Lobo Trucking to expand its footprint into the Delaware Basin of west Texas and southeast New Mexico. H.H. (Tripp) Wommack III, president and CEO, said, “The motivation for Warrior to buy Lobo was we wanted to expand into the Delaware Basin.”
Wommack said the acquisition gives Warrior “the opportunity to offer its nine business lines out of Lobo’s yards in Hobbs and Artesia, N.M.” He said the two companies had only one overlapping business line – vacuum trucks. Warrior now has more than 250 employees and added 46 operating units to its existing 100-unit fleet.
Jeremy Jackson, senior vice president, said Warrior transitioned from its original wellbore focus at its founding in 2018 to focus on mechanical integrity. It allows Warrior to work not only with oil and gas companies but also renewables, municipalities, state and federal agencies, agriculture and food processing. “The most exciting thing we get into is the plugging and abandonment side of things – soil remediation, reclamation, abandonment of old wells,” Jackson told Midland Reporter Telegram. Warrior has worked with Railroad Commission of Texas and New Mexico Oil Conservation Division.
