Expanding its footprint in the midstream inspection and integrity services market, Desert NDT, LLC, announced it has acquired the assets of Midwest Inspection Services L.P., of Perryton, Texas. This is Desert’s first purchase since receiving a majority investment from private equity firm Sterling Partners in March. Financial terms of the purchase were not disclosed.
Midwest Inspection Services has provided a variety of nondestructive testing (NDT) services to midstream oil and gas customers for more than 30 years. The acquisition of Midwest extends Desert’s service territory into Colorado and Nebraska. It also deepens Desert’s presence in the Texas Panhandle region, South Texas and western Oklahoma. The combined company will employ about 500 people.
Midwest employs more than 200 people and operates four locations, including Perryton and Pharr, Texas, Elk City, Okla., and Brighton, Colo. Its services encompass industrial radiography, ultrasonics, magnetic particle inspection, liquid penetrant inspection and certified welding inspection.
David Ezzell and his father Raymond have been co-owners of Midwest Inspection Services since 1985. David will continue to oversee operations for Midwest’s locations.
