CALGARY, Nov. 16, 2017 /CNW/ - Alberta – CEDA, a leading provider of maintenance and turnaround services in the upstream and downstream oil & gas and petrochemicals market has completed the necessary steps to acquire Joe Loomis Trucking Ltd. (JLT). JLT operates a high quality fleet of hydro vacuum and combination vacuum units out of Dawson Creek, British Columbia in the heart of the prolific Montney natural gas formation.
