Oil field services provider C&J Energy Services completed its acquisition of O-Tex Holdings, a provider of cementing services in West Texas.

Under the terms of the stock and equity transaction, Houston-based C&J acquired O-Tex for $132.5 million in cash and 4.42 million shares of C&J common stock.

Along with its vehicle fleet, O-Tex has eight field offices, eight lab facilities and a complex in Pecos, Texas, that serves the Delaware basin. It also has a presence in the midcontinent, the Rocky Mountains and the Northeast.

“The completion of this acquisition immediately transforms our cementing business into one of the largest and most competitive in the U.S. as we join efforts with O-Tex and their successful team,” said Don Gawick, CEO of C&J.

C&J Energy Services provides well construction, completion and support, and complementary services to oil and gas exploration and production companies.

C&J operates 3,196 tractors, 3,767 trailers and 766 straight trucks. It ranks No. 10 on the Transport Topics Top 100 list of the largest private carriers in North America.
