Danos acquires Wood’s U.S. onshore labor supply business

(WO) — Danos has acquired the U.S. onshore oil and gas labor supply operations of John Wood Group PLC, finalizing the deal on June 30, 2025, as part of its strategy to expand workforce services in key shale regions.

“We have been in the people business for 78 years,” said Paul Danos, CEO of Danos. “Providing highly skilled personnel to build, maintain and operate our customers’ assets safely is what we do. And we’re excited that this recent acquisition expands our ability to do that.”

The Louisiana-based energy services firm has maintained a strong presence in the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford, and other shale plays since 2012, offering a broad range of production and renewable energy services.

“We’re proud to expand our focus on people and growth,” said Reed Peré, president of Danos. “This acquisition aligns with our long-term vision of delivering exceptional service while investing in our team and our customers’ success.”

This marks Danos' seventh acquisition since 2014. The company currently employs 3,700 people and serves more than 200 customers across 21 U.S. states, the Gulf of Mexico, and international markets.

“We are actively seeking more acquisitions in the energy sector that increase our ability to service our customers and provide career development opportunities for our employees,” said Eric Danos, CEO of Danos Ventures.
