Who ARE WE?

Our Mission

Beaver Creek, LLC specializes in oilfield logistics for the Bakken and is a 100% certified TAT contractor working within the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. Beaver Creek started with just a few employees in 2008, and thanks to the help and support from TERO paving the way for Indian Contractors, now employs over 50 full-time employees.

Our large internal fleet and company drivers, in addition to our network of subcontractors, allow us to safely and efficiently haul most products used in the oil and gas industry.
