Writer: Rachel Carr | Project Manager: Eddie Clinton
“AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW, OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES – FAMILY VALUES, COMMUNITY SUPPORT, AND A RELENTLESS FOCUS ON SAFETY – GUIDE OUR OPERATIONS AND LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIPS”
– MARK TONIN, COO, WILD DESERT
Established in 2005 in the charming town of Roma, Queensland (QLD), Wild Desert is a dedicated, family-owned Australian enterprise driven by a clear vision – to deliver exceptional oil and gas field services built on safety, efficiency, and a can-do attitude.
Since its inception, the company has focused on supporting regional communities and local suppliers whilst maintaining strong partnerships with major energy operators.
This commitment to quality and reliability has shaped Wild Desert’s reputation as a trusted name in the industry.
“Today, we employ more than 450 people and remain deeply connected to our roots. In fact, Founders, David Whiley and Gina Tedford, still live in Roma and are active members of the local community,” introduces Mark Tonin, COO.
“Our core expertise lies in well servicing and integrated field support. We operate a fleet of well servicing rigs and provide comprehensive solutions, including well interventions, transport and logistics, mobile camps, equipment hire, maintenance, and fabrication.”
Wild Desert invests in innovation through its in-house design and engineering capabilities, ensuring customised solutions for complex field challenges.
“Safety and operational excellence remain at the heart of everything we do, supported by rigorous standards and continuous workforce development,” he notes.
Furthermore, with its headquarters in Roma and a corporate office in Brisbane, QLD, Wild Desert maintains a strong presence across the Surat and Cooper Basins, significant geological formations known for their large resources and economic importance.
“Our clients include leading oil and gas operators who value our responsiveness, flexibility, and proactive problem-solving.
“As we continue to grow, our founding principles – family values, community support, and a relentless focus on safety – guide our operations and long-term partnerships,” Tonin impassions.
RESILIENT AND THRIVING
Over the past 20 years, Wild Desert has navigated multiple industry challenges, including sharp downturns in oil and gas activity and the liquified natural gas (LNG) investment cycle, as well as the unprecedented disruption caused by global events.
Each downturn brought reduced rig utilisation, project deferrals, and significant workforce pressures and reductions, whilst the COVID-19 pandemic added supply chain delays, border restrictions, and heightened health and safety requirements.
These cycles tested the resilience of service providers across Australia, particularly those operating in remote regions.
However, what sets Wild Desert apart is its ability to adapt and maintain stability through these volatile periods.
“As a family-owned company, we’ve built a reputation for reliability by offering integrated solutions – well servicing, logistics, mobile camps, maintenance, and in-house design and fabrication – under one roof.
“Our ‘local-first’ approach strengthens supply chains and supports regional communities,
whilst our unwavering focus on safety and operational excellence ensures continuity even in challenging conditions,” Tonin prides.
Meanwhile, Whiley and Tedford remain active in Roma, reinforcing a culture of trust, accountability, and long-term partnership that competitors often struggle to match.

“AS A FAMILY-OWNED COMPANY, WE’VE BUILT A REPUTATION FOR RELIABILITY BY OFFERING INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS – WELL SERVICING, LOGISTICS, MOBILE CAMPS, MAINTENANCE, AND IN-HOUSE DESIGN AND FABRICATION – UNDER ONE ROOF”
– MARK TONIN, COO, WILD DESERT
“A key differentiator for us is our Australian-only focus and local ownership. Unlike global service providers, which often face delays due to overseas decision-making or competing international priorities, Wild Desert operates without influence from foreign markets or global headquarters,” he explains.
“This independence allows us to respond quickly to clients’ needs, adapt to local conditions, and maintain operational certainty –critical advantages in an industry
where timing and reliability are everything.”
This combination of scale, flexibility, innovation, and community commitment has allowed Wild Desert to not only survive industry downturns but also emerge stronger, with a proven track record of delivering safe, efficient, and responsive services when clients need them most.
REVAMPING OPERATIONS
Wild Desert’s local manufacturing,
maintenance, and fabrication facility contributes to its overall efficiency and service capabilities.
“Our local manufacturing facility is a major contributor to our efficiency and service capability. Having in-house engineering, maintenance, and fabrication means we can handle repairs, modifications, and equipment builds without relying on external vendors,” imparts Tonin.
This approach reduces downtime, quickens turnarounds, and keeps operations running smoothly by ensuring equipment is fit for purpose and withstands the harsh conditions the Australian landscape demands.
“Our rigs operate in isolated locations, with the Cooper Basin specifically being an extremely demanding and challenging environment. The remoteness of well sites requires robust equipment that is durable and can support 24/7 operations, as clients demand and expect,” he outlines.
“The ability to fabricate and assemble ancillary equipment, from trailered mud tanks and mud pump and generator trailers to office shacks, bespoke skids, and support equipment, gives us the flexibility to meet specific customer needs quickly and cost-effectively.”
Ultimately, this self-sufficiency enables Wild Desert to maintain high standards, respond more quickly to challenges, and deliver reliable field services.
A new hybrid-electric rig, meanwhile, is expected to bring several improvements to the company’s operations, such as lower noise levels that will enhance safety and comfort for crews and reduce disturbances for landholders.
The rig’s lower fuel consumption will also mean fewer emissions, less fuel transport, and improved safety through reduced travel to fuel resupply points.
WILD DESERT’S IMPACTFUL PARTNERSHIPS
Local sourcing is key to Wild Desert’s supply chain strategy and directly impacts its operational efficiency.
“As a locally owned Roma company, we understand that the strength of our operations lies in our community,” Tonin smiles.
“By prioritising local, regional, and Indigenous participation, we ensure our supply chain remains responsive and resilient in the demanding oil and gas industry, reducing the impact of international market pressures where possible.”
The company actively recruits personnel from Roma and the surrounding areas for field, office, and workshop roles, and aims to source at least 50 percent of its procurement from the Maranoa region, including engaging local suppliers for freight, accommodation, catering, maintenance, and consumables.
“Our partnerships with Indigenous businesses such as Waddi Springs further reinforce our commitment to inclusive economic growth.”
This approach delivers measurable outcomes – 42 percent of Wild Desert’s total spend is local, and 82 percent is within QLD.
“Beyond numbers, local sourcing reduces lead times, improves reliability, and strengthens relationships, enabling us to adapt quickly to changing operational needs. It also supports community development through employment, apprenticeships, and sponsorship of regional initiatives.
“For Wild Desert, procuring locally is not just a policy – it’s a strategic imperative. It enables us to remain agile and flexible, ensuring we meet the challenges of the oil and gas industry whilst creating lasting benefits for the communities we call home,” assures Tonin.

Customers are facing growing pressure from investors, regulators, and communities to reduce emissions. For many, hybrid systems are a practical step forward, blending traditional power with clean energy storage to reduce fuel consumption and lower environmental impact.
“This isn’t about ticking a box, it’s about practical sustainability,” said Bennett. “Our solutions help customers meet their operational needs whilst making meaningful progress towards lower emissions.”
EPSA is continuing to invest in battery and hybrid energy systems that help customers stay ahead of compliance requirements and operational risk.
TRUST IS WHAT DRIVES EPSA FORWARD
EPSA’s customer research shows that whilst product performance and technology are important, customers place the greatest value on ease of doing business, responsive support, and relationships built on trust.
“We know that our customers value having someone who understands their environment and can help solve complex problems,” said Bennett.
“That’s where we add the most value, not just by delivering the hardware, but by being a reliable partner in their long-term success.”
LOOKING AHEAD
EPSA’s hybrid project with Wild Desert demonstrates what’s possible when technology, customer understanding, and reliable delivery come together. As more businesses in remote and industrial sectors look to clean and flexible power options, EPSA is well positioned to lead that transition.

EMPOWERING SUSTAINABILITY
With the global shift towards net zero emissions, Wild Desert is pursuing innovations in battery-operated rigs and ancillary products.
“Our company is actively investing in innovations that reduce environmental impact whilst maintaining operational efficiency. A key focus has been on electrification and hybrid technologies; for example, we have deployed solar-powered remote office shacks on-site, reducing fuel use for auxiliary power.
“Future projects include solarpowered remote camps and we are currently looking into the feasibility of larger-scale hybrid support equipment, including remote camps. We are finalising the precommissioning of our hybrid-electric workover rig, supported by a battery trailer with generator back-up. This system allows us to perform an entire well workover on battery power alone,” Tonin specifies.
The benefits are substantial –reduced emissions, fuel consumption,
and spill risk, for instance, align with sustainability targets and enhance environmental outcomes, whilst lower noise levels improve crew working conditions and enable operations in noise-sensitive receptors.
A reduction in fuel burn requirements and fuel deliveries is also critical because driving remains one of the riskiest activities in Australia’s onshore oil and gas industry. Distances will be similar for trips, but overall kilometres driven will be lower because fewer trips are required.
