The epic industry leader Chris Wright is on the podcast today. From creating a business around toilet seats in Ghana to CEO of Liberty Oilfield Services, “The Best Dam Frac Company”. Chris tells it all. We hear about his view on life, family, culture, people and climate change.
He started Pinnacle in 92 with just 100k, building a solid network along the way. Chris is an expert at explaining technologies, which turned into his networking strategy. After 10 years he sold Pinnacle to Carbo Ceramics. Then a few years later Carbo sold Pinnacle’s part of the business to HAL. Chris was never a big company guy and didn't like the idea of his baby ( Pinnacle) being taken over by HAL. He doesn’t ever want the culture and long term vision of a company changing once it's sold off, this is something that Chris never wanted to happen again.
Incredibly high turnover is the “norm” for oil and gas frac companies. Chris was told by a large frac company, “ We tell HR to always keep more in the Hopper”. By that they meant, more people as back up when others leave. After Chris was told this he decided it's time to start a frac company. Way before he even knew how to run one, he wanted to change the perception of frac companies and how they treated field personnel. He was driven to change the industry through culture, people and technology - Liberty was then born.
Chris talks about his ESG report, “ Bettering Human Lives”. Chris expresses his feelings on energy poverty and how the oil and gas industry is the only industry that can fix it. You cannot have a modern world without oil and gas.
