OUR ADVISORS
Orville Cole
Stimulation & Fracturing Operations
A seasoned project Manager and Team builder. Orville started his career in the Pembina Oilfield of western Canada and has since been involved in Oil and Gas operations in many parts of North America and a number of international locations. I have been involved in many firsts from managing the first C02 foam fracturing operations to managing the consulting group that supervised the first underbalanced drilling operations in Venezuela and Argentina. Since 2008 I have project managed remote Drilling, coring and fracturing projects in North America and Ukraine. In all cases there was no lost time due to equipment shortage or safety infractions.
Andronikos S. Demarchos, P.E.
Drilling completion & Stimulation
With over 20 years in the Oil & Gas industry, I have evaluated reservoirs and/or designed completions and stimulations for wells on every hydrocarbon producing Continent. I am a recognized expert in the completions and stimulation of horizontal wells, particularly unconventional reservoirs, and I have worked with internal and external partners in the development and application of new technologies. I have managed multidisciplinary projects, planned operations, and I am a proven leader, mentor and innovator
