THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS (May 29th, 2019) Locus Bio-Energy Solutions™, an oil technology firm whose unique methods to substantially increase oil well performance continue to gain industry notice, is opening a new headquarters and lab in the Houston area, and has recruited another top industry executive to drive technology for the rapidly growing company.
Dr. Amir Mahdmoudkhani, who was previously Clariant’s Global Head of Flow Assurance, is Locus Bio-Energy’s new Director of Technology, company CEO Jonathan Rogers announced. Mahdmoudkhani will work from Locus Bio-Energy’s new 7,100+ square-foot headquarters, complete with state-of-the-art laboratory for oilfield applications, scheduled to open in July.
Mahdmoudkhani, who holds a Ph.D. in Material Chemistry from Sweden’s Göteborg University, joins new Director of Operations David Siegfried and Production Chemicals Business Development Director Jason Thompson, who will both be based in Locus Bio-Energy’s Midland, Texas facility in the heart of the Permian Basin—the world’s most productive oilfield.
“We’re thrilled to build a strong team and bring on board experts like Amir, who is one of the most respected and experienced product development and technology managers in the business,” Rogers said. “Being able to attract people of the caliber of Amir, David and Jason validates the exciting, cutting-edge work that Locus Bio-Energy is doing, and shows that top industry talents want to be part of what we are doing.”
Dr. Mahdmoudkhani will lead and coordinate all major development projects for new and novel technologies relating to Locus Bio-Energy’s unique biosurfactant treatment program, utilizing his previous experience overseeing activities in drilling, completion and production chemicals.
The new team members join Locus Bio-Energy as demand and industry recognition for the company’s innovative biosurfactant technology grows. The company was recently honored for New Technology Development of the Year at the 2019 Northeast Oil & Gas Awards, and more than doubled its employees in the past year.
