Sterling Operations was started by Sterling as a way to pay his way through university and to put a little cash in the pocket.  Five years later, Sterling Operations now shares that opportunity to help put numerous summer students through university and post-secondary education every year. Working alongside grain and cattle farmers and listening carefully to their concerns while fulfilling our obligations to quality product has been rewarding.  Many landowners now insist that all oil and gas companies using their land hire Sterling Operations. Starting as a family business, safe and efficient work is paramount, and we have committed ourselves to providing superior services and timely solutions to all of our customers while maintaining an excellent safety record.
