Stampede Drilling is a Canadian contract drilling company that helps oil and gas producers dig wells to extract oil and natural gas. Its main service is operating drilling rigs, which it rents out to energy companies — mostly in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, a major oil and gas region covering Alberta and Saskatchewan. The company is a smaller, regional player in the oilfield services industry.

Stampede makes money by charging day rates — a fee for each day a drilling rig is working for a customer. Revenue rises and falls with oil and gas prices, since producers hire more rigs when energy prices are high and cut back when prices drop. The company operates entirely in Canada and has a modest financial profile, with low margins typical of contract drillers. Its biggest risk is the cyclical nature of energy spending, where a prolonged drop in oil prices can quickly reduce demand for its rigs and squeeze profitability.
