Simplicity Guides West Texas Oil Man Ramsey
Pat Ramsey, long-time Dowell executive and son of a Mart sharecropper, forms MR Oil Co with Pete McDaniel in Monahans Texas. He shifts from deep, high cost wells to shallow, accessible plays around Monahans to offer a simpler business model and provide a sheltered work place for his developmentally challenged child. The venture centers on acidizing fracturing and cementing within a 50 mile radius, avoiding competition with Dowell and Halliburton on large wells.
