About GS Energy Services

---

Chesapeake Energy: As the only technical employee moved from Oklahoma City to West Virginia, he kicked off horizontal drilling and fracking in the Marcellus following a billion-dollar acquisition.

Technical Expertise: Prior to the Marcellus, Austin extensively designed and modeled deep, high pressure, high temperature frac jobs throughout West Texas

and Oklahoma.

Sandridge Energy: Developed an "unwanted" field in West Texas from 600 bopd to 6000 bopd by identifying previous failures in completion design. This work led to three multi-billion dollar acquisitions based on his technical work, presentations, and budgets. During a time when all US focus was on natural gas,

his work paved the way for a 40-rig oil drilling program, pivoting the company to an oil focus nearly overnight.

Innovations in the Permian Basin: Developed and implemented some of the first oil zone drilling and fracking as part of a reentry of vertical wells campaign prior to the massive shift in the Permian basin to all horizontal drilling in oil zones.

New Technologies: Championed multiple new technologies that extended life in legacy fields and improved ultimate economic recoveries, such as multi-stage plungers, vapor recovery units, in-field vacuum pumps, isolation and stimulation of strategic zones in water injection wells, and capturing previously lost oil

within water handling systems.

Reliance Industries: Accepted a position as Vice President of Joint Ventures for Reliance Industries out of Mumbai, India. Following a billion-dollar acquisition across three US Shale basins, he focused on horizontal drilling and fracking within the Marcellus Shale in Eastern PA. By the end of his tenure, all minerals were fully developed, including nearly 15% deemed undrillable due to bad

partnership arrangements. Additionally, per-well costs were reduced by $2 million compared to identical wells operated by another company (Chevron) that did not implement strategic technologies.

Experience: Former VP and shareholder of

Millennium Offshore Group, Inc., Kent oversaw the

sale of its asset portfolio to ATP Oil and Gas and

Ridgewood Capital. He advocated for the

integration of cutting-edge technologies, enhancing

operational efficiency and productivity.

Entrepreneurship: Kent has operated his own oil

and gas assets and worked with Cal-Tex. His

entrepreneurial ventures reflect his deep

understanding of the industry and his commitment

to innovation.

Industry Contributions: Starting his career with

Clayton Williams, Kent drilled multiple carbonate

wells in the Austin Chalk. As a small partner in

EDCO, he was instrumental in drilling Austin Chalk

wells and pioneering some of the first dendritic

fracs and early horizontal wells in carbonates. His

efforts have significantly contributed to

advancements in drilling technologies and methods.
