CALGARY — Cathedral Energy Services Ltd. has signed a deal to buy the directional drilling services business of Altitude Energy Partners LLC in an agreement it valued at about US$100 million in cash and shares in a bid to grow its U.S. business.

Under the deal, Cathedral says it will pay nearly US$62.7 million in cash and issue about 67 million shares.
