Tad Bostick joins Well-SENSE as Western Hemisphere Commercial Director
Well-SENSE has continued its expansion in the US with
the launch of a new business and a key appointment.
Well-SENSE Inc. has been launched as part of global expansion
plans and to meet growing demand for its technology in the US. With a number of
field trials in the pipeline over coming months, the Houston-based subsidiary
will be headed up by Tad Bostick who becomes Western Hemisphere Commercial Director.
Prior
to joining the company, Tad led Weatherford’s global reservoir monitoring
product line before becoming Vice President of the global production
optimisation business unit.
Boasting
over 35 years’ industry experience, Tad began his career with Western
Geophysical working in surface seismic exploration and borehole seismic logging.
He has held various positions in field engineering, technical support and
product management.
Throughout
his career, Tad has been actively involved in innovative sensing and monitoring
technologies for oil and gas applications worldwide. His new role will see him
lead Well-SENSE Inc’s operations and expand delivery of Well-SENSE’s innovative
FiberLine Intervention technology (FLI) in the region.
The award winning FLI system uses
a bare fibre optic line for distributed sensing of temperature, pressure and
acoustic data to profile a well over time. The system is disposable, compact
and low cost to deploy and operate. Active-FLI components deliver enhanced
capabilities such as HD cameras with real time video streaming and tractor
driven access for deviated wells.
Craig Feherty, Well-SENSE CEO, said: “We’re
growing at a significant rate and the potential opportunities for our
technology in the US are huge. We must make sure we have a team equipped to
handle this growth, so Tad is a key appointment for us. As commercial director,
he will be responsible for driving our business forward in the US, shaping
innovation, and will be instrumental in initiating a recruitment drive for the
subsidiary in the near future.”
Commenting
on his appointment, Tad said: “I’m extremely pleased to join Well-SENSE. FLI is
highly innovative; it offers an
entirely new approach to well intervention and combines several innovative
concepts in a single package.
“The
dynamic team has propelled its state-of-the-art technology into the European
market and I am very much looking forward to replicating this throughout the US,
as we continue to achieve
fantastic results with FLI.”
