Field service provider, North American Energy Partners Inc. (TO:NOA) recently announced that the partnership has received two important winter season earthworks deals in two distinct oil sand mines. The total value of the contracts is about $90 million.

The Canada-based company also obtained a three-year term contract of providing mine support services in Highland Valley Copper Mine located in British Columbia, Canada. This contract has provision for a two-year extension.

The deals secured by North American Energy shows that the demand for earthworks for the winter season is strong. The deals will diversify the company's revenue base. The company expects its revenues, which will not be considerable before winter, to increase once the contract period starts.

At the end of the second quarter of 2017, the company had a cash balance of $27.63 million with total debt of $103.23 million. The earthworks contracts are expected to improve the company's cash balance.
