Best Energy Services, Inc. has announced that it has appointed Mr. John Cortez as Vice President of Health, Safety and Environment (”HSE”), an office recently created by the Board of Directors of Best Energy Services. Mr. Cortez is based in Liberal, Kansas and will work day-to-day with Eugene Allen, Best’s President and COO.
Since its founding twenty years ago, Best Well Services, a 100% owned subsidiary of Best Energy Services, has consistently pointed to the highest standards of HSE as one of the reasons its customers choose Best as their provider of workover services.
Commenting on the appointment of Mr. Cortez, Mark Harrington, Chairman and CEO of Best stated, “Best provides a comprehensive in-house HSE program that ranks among the highest in our peer group. We intend to maintain and enhance that position. The creation of the office of HSE further expands on those efforts by adding Mr. Cortez, who is responsible to myself and the Board of Directors. The Board and myself consider nothing to be of higher importance than maintaining our ‘Safety First’ efforts and our commitment to such goes from the Boardroom to each of our rig hands in the field. Continuing our value-oriented pricing and top rated performance on the job, we believe our customers are well served with Best. We welcome the added expertise and energy that Johnny brings to our group in Liberal.”
Mr. Cortez has 18 years experience in the well servicing business in the mid-continent. He began his career in 1992 with Kansas-based Gibson Well Service and continued on to Key Well Service. In March, 2010 Mr. Cortez left Key to join Best Well Service. In July of this year Mr. Cortez began his efforts in Best’s in-house HSE program.
Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Cortez stated, “I have always admired Best’s ‘Safety First’ standards for its customers. I am very pleased to now be a part of this team.”
