Robert Burton, President

“I have always enjoyed working with my clients to help them resolve their production challenges. The diversified experience that I bring forward from my work career and the contacts I have made offers me the ability to address our client’s production challenges from operational, mechanical and chemical perspectives. I believe in surrounding myself with experienced, knowledgeable people that provides a sound team approach to problem solving.”

Robert Burton’s oilfield work experience spans 40 years. From 1980 to 1983 he worked on service rigs around central Alberta. From 1983 to 1992 he operated oil and gas fields along with gas compression and process. The last 4 years of that time was spent as a production foreman. Robert then moved into oil production chemicals as an account manager and then stimulation manager from 1992 to 2001. In 2001 he started and operated his own chemical company Petrotreat Inc. Petrotreat worked with clients such as PennWest, Enerplus, Velvet, NCE, Conoco, Husky and many more. He helped his clients maintain their assets from corrosion protection, flow assurance and through his stimulation expertise increase production in hundreds of wells. In 2012 Canadian Energy Services purchased Petrotreat Inc to gain their footprint in Alberta and operated under their PureChem Services production chemical division. From 2012 to 2018 he worked with PureChem as the West Division Manager to successfully build out their Alberta business. Now in 2020 he has started another chemical company, Performance 20/20 Inc. This is a new name not a new company as he has been down this road before. Performance 20/20 Inc. is staffed with chemists, technical support staff, account managers and delivery personal.

Stephen Swalm, B.Sc., Technical Advisor

Stephen started working in the oilfield in Coleville and Dodsland Saskatchewan in the early 80’s. He used the money from Battery Operating (worked in the oilfield all through university) to put himself through 8 years of university and ended up with two bachelor of science degrees. Post university of Saskatchewan, he owned and operated an oilfield environmental company which eventually employed about 12 full time professionals. They completed work all through Saskatchewan and Alberta oil fields providing supervision of all aspects of lease abandonments complete with government reclamation certificates. Companies such as Imperial Oil, Reece Oil and Amoco hired him to look after pipeline abandonments, pipeline repair and pipeline re-structuring. Stephen was also certified to remove and do soil testing for underground fuel tanks (USTs) in Saskatchewan. Environmental assessments were also supplied to banks and real estate customers.

Production chemical experience came with his employment at Contact Chemicals Inc. where he looked after a fully equipped oil field testing lab. Stephen was in charge of Product Development and Corrosion Services and successfully developed over 40 successful chemicals, right through from imagination to application, that were used by various customers. Corrosion pipeline assessment and corrosion failure reporting was also supervised by his position there. Eventually he ended up as VP Chemical and Corrosion Technology and managed the blending, intermediate sourcing and intermediate purchasing.

Presently Stephen is providing Performance 20/20 Inc. with Technical Services involving Lab Technical Services, Product Development and Technical Reporting.

A customer of his once stated, “I like your chemicals because they always do what you say they will do”.
