About us

AdOil Inc. is a client-first company that designs, manufactures, and distributes wellhead containment devices for the oil industry, helping protect against the financial and environmental impacts of wellhead leaks.

The company began in 1986 as a wellsite inspection firm. During this time, our inspectors identified a recurring issue: wellhead seal wear leading to spills. This was a growing concern for both AdOil and its customers due to the risk of soil and groundwater contamination. At the same time, reclamation and disposal costs were rising sharply. As water-oil ratios (WOR) increased, so did the need for a reliable, easy-to-use solution that could reduce contamination risks. Unfortunately, the products available at the time were often ineffective and difficult for field personnel to use.

In response, AdOil developed and field-tested the TITAN in 2002. Built with a durable cast aluminum basin and a shatterproof clear-view cover — all Canadian-made — the TITAN is designed to capture seepage, spills, and leaks before they become bigger problems. By addressing small leaks early, it also helps prevent larger issues like heavy leaks and blowouts. The TITAN was created to exceed environmental compliance standards while reducing operating costs, a true win-win!

In 2015, AdOil acquired the Canadian rights to the W99 Tungsten Electroplate polish rods. Originally developed in California, these rods are engineered to withstand highly corrosive environments and abrasive conditions, including flour sand. With superior anti-corrosion and anti-wear properties, they help reduce polish rod failures, one of the leading causes of packing failure and the need for containment.

In 2023, AdOil introduced the Predator downhole liquid/gas separator to the Canadian market. This system improves the separation of gas and solids, helping operators maximize well performance while reducing wellbore-related costs.

Most recently, in 2025, AdOil added The Octopus™ Solid Removal System to its product line. Designed to improve the safe and environmentally responsible handling of produced solids in surface tanks and vessels, The Octopus™ enhances overall facility performance. It also helps prevent “super-emitter” events by reducing sand erosion in chokes and valves — minimizing the risk of solids entering downstream equipment and contributing to methane emissions.
