Petroleum News

Chiulista Camp Services said May 20 that it has purchased the assets and operations of Anchorage-based Mayflower Catering, effectively expanding the company’s line up of camp and exploration services to include catering in Anchorage and several other communities across the state.

A subsidiary of Calista Corp., Chiulista provides remote-site camp services for the petroleum, mining, fishing and construction industries.

“Chiulista is proud to now add specialty catering to our growing list of products and services,” Chiulista President George Gardner said. “It gives us an Anchorage presence, fits in very well with our overall plans for growth in Alaska, and will soon be very useful as a tool to promote training for Calista Corp. shareholders that are interested in careers in the culinary arts field.”

Calista, the second largest ANCSA corporation in the state, represents 56 villages in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta and is owned by more than 13,000 Yup’ik, Cup’ik and Athabascan shareholders with ancestral ties to Southwest Alaska.

Calista also has the rights to 6.5 million acres of subsurface and 300,000 acres of surface estate in Alaska.

The corporation’s primary areas of business are government and private sector contracting, real estate, camp and exploration services, oil industry, newspaper publishing and printing and natural resource development.

Calista, along with project manager Placer Dome US, is working to develop Donlin Creek into an operating gold mine.
