What makes your company different? Our employees are empowered to make decisions and structure deals that conform to our mission statement. Our employees know and expect that the Company will stand behind their deals and support their decisions. We encourage our staff to bring innovative ideas to our environment daily and we support employee decisions to further develop their decision-making ability. Our mission statement translates our culture into each work day: • We strive to structure deals that are win-win. We never take the last nickel off the table. • We return phone calls and treat everyone who contacts our Company with respect and respond to their needs. • We are open, honest, and to the point, in our dealings. If we make a mistake or error, we correct it promptly. • We follow through on deals we make, even if we lose money. • We consider and respond to the suggestions our partners make. • We manage our financial affairs in a responsible manner. • We rely on each other, sharing successes and failures. Our work ethic reflects the need for urgency and all hands on deck when the company needs us. • We exercise collaborative, informed decision-making to maximize long-term value. We encourage, accept and value innovative and forward thinking. • We change direction in unison when economic conditions present opportunities or challenges. • We value each employee and care about the employees’ families and their well-being. What about philanthropy? How important is that for your culture? As a company, we are all about philanthropy in the communities we work in. Being a good corporate citizen is important for us and our employees. Some of the charities we support are: • Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Fort Worth • FWPD S.W.A.T. Group • Cherokee Crossroads • Jackson Hole One Fly • Two Fly Foundation • Rivertree Academy • Longhorn Council Boy Scouts of America • DRC – Community Solutions to End Homelessness • Trout Unlimited • College of Natural Sciences • Optimist Club of Fort Worth • Cristo Rey Fort Worth High School What advice would you give to a young person going into the petroleum industry? Do the right thing. Adhere to ethics above all. Learn the business from the ground up. Bring new ideas to the forefront. All industries need new ideas, including this one. And help those around you. What do you see as the future trends in the petroleum industry? Well first, this industry is going to be around for a long time. It’s really great industry; it provides a real combination of field work and office work, and I think that’s appealing to a lot of people. I see this industry as growing. It’s an exciting field, and one in need of good people. Technology, sustainability and mobility are three top reasons to consider the oil and gas industry. We are seeing that technology and being technology proficient is a really important part of the industry, which is something that we are really invested in as a company. As interest in environmental sustainability within the petroleum sector grows, so does the demand for people who are qualified to help our industry monitor, manage and improve our impact on the environment. I think the domestic oil and gas industry is going to increase in value as we’re geopolitically more stable. I think we’re going to see more and more emphasis put on energy efficiency, which we should all strive towards. If you could look back at your career and condense it all into one lesson learned, what would it be? Work hard and think bigger. Heather Wolsey | (v) . .
