P. Eng,  CEO,

Construction Manager

chadm@breakawayenergy.com

Mr. Merchant holds a B.Sc Degree in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Montana, a Petroleum Engineering Technologist Diploma from Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, and a Journeyman Welding Certificate.

​

Mr. Merchant's experience includes design, construction, expediting, start up, problem solving and initial operation of facilities, including Compressor and Booster Compressor Stations, SAGD Facilities, Oil Batteries, and Gas Turbine installation/operation.

​

With over 15 + years of experience in the domestic energy field, Mr. Merchant has been involved in projects for the following customers: Trident Resources Corp., Connacher Oil and Gas Ltd., Deercreek Energy Ltd., Southern Pacific Resource Corp., Pengrowth Energy Corp., N-Solv Corp., Nuvista Energy Ltd., and Mosaic Energy Ltd.

Don Bouschard

Mechanical  Construction Superintendent

Consultant

donb@breakawayenergy.com

Mr. Bouschard began consulting for Renaissance Energy in 1984 and continued working alongside them for 19 years, where he built several oil & gas facilities, installed 600+ km of pipeline, and installed more than 25 complete gathering systems.  He was instrumental in pioneering fibreglass pipelines as well as modularization. 

​

Mr. Bouschard attributes his success to being involved with Renaissance Energy, a young aggressive oil company, as well as an equally aggressive, small, efficient engineering company, BDR Engineering. This partnership allowed Mr. Bouschard to bring forth his own ideas and practices to the construction site, which have been continually proven and refined over the years.  Relationships formed in these early years still continue today. 

In his time working with Drifter Projects, Mr. Bouschard built 2 Pilots, 4 SAGD Facilities, and 3 Cogens.  Services included were civil, wellpads and associated surface and underground pipelines. Through proper cooperation and communication, these facilities were built on time and on budget, which is a pretty amazing feat in the Fort McMurray area.

​

In 2013, Mr. Bouschard followed Mr. Merchant to Breakaway and has provided key knowledge and experience to the Breakaway Energy Services Inc. team.
