SubTerra Engineering Strengthens Position Through Strategic Acquisition

In a significant move within the energy sector, SubTerra Engineering Corporation, renowned for its leadership in subsurface engineering and development in Canada, has officially announced the acquisition of Cavern Solutions Inc., a highly respected engineering and consulting firm based in Houston, Texas. This strategic acquisition, disclosed on March 10, 2025, is set to bolster SubTerra’s capabilities in the midstream energy segment across North America, establishing it as a premier provider of innovative storage and disposal solutions.

The merger marks the unification of two influential players in the industry, both celebrated for their technical expertise and customer-centric approaches. Cavern Solutions possesses extensive experience in creating and managing underground salt cavern storage, reservoir storage, and disposal strategies, which perfectly complements SubTerra's already robust portfolio in subsurface engineering, procurement, and construction. This synergy aims to provide unparalleled value for clients across North America and potentially worldwide.

Peter Christensen, CEO of SubTerra Group, expressed enthusiasm about the merger: "We’re excited to bring Cavern Solutions into the SubTerra Group. Their unparalleled applied engineering and extensive knowledge of underground storage aligns seamlessly with our project and capital management expertise. This acquisition allows us to expand our service offerings and tackle even the most complex subsurface challenges with greater efficiency."

Founded in 2015, Cavern Solutions has established a formidable reputation for its expertise in the design, construction, and maintenance of wells and caverns used for hydrocarbon, helium, and hydrogen storage. The professional engineers and consultants from Cavern Solutions will join SubTerra’s workforce, amplifying the company’s technical and operational capabilities. Importantly, Cavern Solutions will continue its operations in Houston, ensuring uninterrupted service for its existing clientele.

John Kyle, the President of Cavern Solutions, noted, "This is a natural next step for us. Subterra’s leadership in subsurface projects and their commitment to innovation make them the ideal partner. We’re eager to combine our strengths and deliver groundbreaking solutions to the industry."

The merger aligns perfectly with SubTerra's growth strategy, particularly in high-demand areas like underground storage, disposal, carbon capture, and hydrogen projects. This acquisition is anticipated to fast-track SubTerra's expansion into new markets while further establishing its dominance in both Canadian and American energy landscapes.

As plans to integrate Cavern Solutions' expertise unfold over the coming months, SubTerra Engineering emphasizes its commitment to preserving service excellence for all clients. The newly combined entity will provide an expanded array of services, ranging from initial engineering design to field execution. Both companies uphold a shared dedication to safety and performance, ensuring clients receive top-tier services across all operational fronts.

SubTerra Engineering Corporation is a leading subsurface EPC firm headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. It specializes in projects involving salt cavern development, carbon capture, and subsurface project management. The firm has transitioned from concept to commissioning in numerous projects, cementing its status as a trusted partner in the midstream energy sector.
