Industry Veterans Join Blackeagle Energy Services as Regional Directors

Blackeagle's regional directors are responsible for all operations within their region, including overseeing project managers who report directly to them. Mr. Hallman is based out of Midland, Texas, and is responsible for projects in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and New Mexico. Mr. Ferri is based out of the company's regional office in North Lima, Ohio, and is responsible for Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

"We are extremely pleased to have Gene and Armando join our team," said Blackeagle President and Chief Executive Officer Rick Barrett. "Both have significant experience leading teams and managing complex projects. They will greatly enhance our ability to expand our operations."

"I am very excited about the opportunity to work at Blackeagle and look forward to building on the success the company is having in the south region," Mr. Hallman said. "The south region includes the Permian Basin, which has seen a tremendous amount of capital investment in the past year, and we expect growth in that area to continue to provide additional opportunities for Blackeagle."

"I am so happy to be joining a team that has such a focus on professionalism and employee performance. Blackeagle's project-team performance-management system really sets the standard in the industry," Mr. Ferri said. "I look forward to using my experience to expand our activities in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays."
