Miller Services, Inc., a North American provider of rig relocation services; including disassembly, transportation and reassembly of oil and gas drilling rigs.
Founded in 1936, IE Miller is a subsidiary of Complete Production Services, Inc. It operates eight terminals strategically located in close proximity with key North American basins in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Colorado, and North Dakota.
IE Miller has approximately 400 employees and operates a large fleet of rig relocation equipment in the US, mostly specialized in high-end, high horsepower rig movements.

Their established national U.S. footprint creates significant opportunities to provide high value-added rig relocation services to new and existing customers. In addition, the transaction further allows the reinforcement of our oilfield services management team and presence in the energy services sector," commented Alain Bédard, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TransForce.
