Location: Wamsutter, Wyoming USA
Completed: 2025
What We Completed
In a groundbreaking collaboration with Crowheart Energy, Roeslein engineered and designed a cutting-edge modular facility for oil and natural gas production. Leveraging this scalable innovation, we successfully engineered, designed, fabricated, manufactured, constructed, commissioned and programmed five state-of-the-art greenfield facilities in the remote landscapes of southern Wyoming.
What We Achieved
Roeslein’s success mirrors our clients’ achievements. Despite a tight construction window to protect native wildlife, our Roeslein package enabled the client to construct and commission more facilities, boosting site efficiency and supporting Crowheart’s 2025 development plans.
Internally, the “One Roeslein” mentality drove project success. Collaboration among Roeslein & Associates’ engineering and design teams, Roeslein Modular Fabrication, Servtech: A Roeslein Company and Method Flow: A Roeslein Company, allowed us to complete multiple facility projects efficiently, without client intervention.
What We Did Differently
An innovative solution during this project included the use of Roeslein’s subject matter expertise in modularization and prefabrication as alternatives to the incumbent solution. Roeslein teams focused on asking questions early and often. Ultimately, our solution offered a giant step towards repeatability, scalability and reduction in time on site.
What We Faced
The biggest challenge faced during this project was the learning curve of applying a modularized solution to a new industry. Roeslein addressed this by immersing the team in the project from the client’s perspective. The team’s humility and eagerness to understand the client’s process, use and interests fostered co-ownership and growth from Crowheart’s expertise. Debating design philosophy and implementation internally and externally furthered this collaborative effort.
Traditional oil and gas production involved a lot of improvisation and uncertainty. Planning, attention to detail and flexibility were crucial due to varying equipment, third-party tolerances and site restrictions. The team’s grit, determination, flexibility and work ethic delivered the product needed by Crowheart.
What We Learned
Lessons learned included recognizing the differences in industry practices, such as design, pace, quality and cost considerations. The importance of a thorough and representative Phase 1 became apparent, as it was crucial to define project scopes and achieve alignment on design, scheduling and costs both internally and externally. This phase was instrumental in setting the stage for a successful project execution.
What We Heard
Our client had great insight to share about our partnership and working together through this project. They spoke highly of our team of experts, specifically complementing our ability to preempt problems, actively work towards solutions, encourage open and honest communication, and deliver results.
“The Roeslein team is always going the extra mile to ensure our projects are successful. Their commissioning team came to our jobsite in the remote Wyoming desert and stayed for two solid weeks to ensure this critical pilot project started safely, on schedule and without issue. A lesser effort likely would have still led to a successful outcome, but the added effort is why Roeslein has become a critical and trusted business partner for my team and Crowheart Energy.”

How We Went Beyond the Ask
Further demonstrating our commitment to excellence and attention to detail, Roeslein sent a diverse team of engineers and designers to Wamsutter, WY, to gather information from Crowheart’s engineering, construction and operations teams before the project kicked off.
When it came to meeting deadlines and exceeding customer satisfaction, our teams held nothing back. To meet aggressive ship dates, our modular fabrication team shuffled work schedules and worked through weekends, ensuring timely shipping and avoiding delays in site construction. Field electricians and programmers frequently addressed final commissioning stages during weekends and holidays, often with just a day’s notice.
