Penkota Company Biography
Penkota Wireline Services was formed in 1981 as Pengo Wireline of North Dakota. The company was jointly owned by Pengo Industries, Arlan Arnson, and Mark Gjovig.
At the time Pengo Industries wanted to expand its' domestic wireline division to all the producing areas of the United States.
Pengo was creating joint ventures to gain market share while at the same time providing an incentive for attracting qualified personnel. During this time Arlan and Mark were working for Gearhart Industries and looking for an opportunity to start their own business. Penkota was formed October 1, 1981 and operated till May 1990. At that time Pengo Industries was divesting its' wireline division due to the slow down in the oil industry. Arlan and Mark purchased the shares held by Pengo Industries. Because the Pengo name was a trademark, the company name was changed to Penkota Wireline Service, to reflect our regional business area.
Penkota is now in its' 22nd year of operation and has recently rebuilt its' four logging trucks and upgraded them with the latest computer technology. Along with our mechanical services truck, we operate five trucks in the Williston Basin.
