106 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE JANUARY 2021 DCS develops, manufactures and applies performance-based slick water fluid system additives. It also offers dry friction reducers, an option that has been increasingly utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic. But development and application are only part of what makes Downhole Chemical Solutions successful. The third part is the people leading the company and their experience working in the industry. Downhole Chemical Solutions was founded a little over five years ago by Chase Copeland, president, and Wayne Cutrer, CEO. Rall reports, “They were working for another oil field service chemical organization and the parent company, as they say, took a right when they should have taken a left during the last downturn. So, unfortunately, that organization was closed but these two entrepreneurs were able to take some of the existing technology and some of the client base and build the business in bootstraps to where they’ve gotten today.” Rall credits Downhole Chemical Solutions’ rapid growth to the unique characteristics of each of the company’s four leaders and the hard work of about 100 employees. Among the company’s leaders, he is the newbie of the group, coming onboard just a few years ago after working for Performance Technologies. Mark Van Domelen, DCS Vice President of Technology, has more than three decades of experience in the oil and gas industry, holding several management positions, both domestically and internationally, for Haliburton. His primary areas of expertise are in hydraulic fracturing and well completion methodologies. He is also a frequent contributor to technical papers that advance industry knowledge. Cutrer, who also serves as chairman of the board for parent company Dynamic Chemical Solutions, has been working in the oil and gas chemical industry for more than a quarter century. He started the company with Copeland, a former senior business development executive for ChemRock Technologies. Copeland has about a decade of experience in the industry and 337-269-5919 336 Apo l l o Rd , S co t t , LA 70583 www. s c ada s o l n . com De s i gn , i n t eg r a t i on and imp l emen t a t i on o f con t r o l and da t a a cqu i s i t i on ( SCADA ) , and o t he r r emo t e mon i t o r i ng / con t r o l s y s t ems .
