The company has also appointed a new high-calibre management team to drive this growth strategy and extend its product range with the development of several new technologies.

Deep Casing Tools’ new Chairman, Steve Kent, is an oil and gas executive with more than 20 years’ international experience in Schlumberger and Weatherford and a further decade as a director and investor in energy technology businesses.

With a strong track record in business improvement and product development, its new CEO, David Stephenson, has managed substantial businesses in the UK, Europe, Middle East and South East Asia during a 20-year career in the sector.

Steve Kent, Chairman of Deep Casing Tools said: “This multi-million pound investment from EV Private Equity creates an exciting opportunity for Deep Casing Tools to drive growth in the UK, Middle East and North America. It also enables the company to accelerate the development of several new technologies which we plan to bring to market in the coming months.”

David Stephenson, CEO of Deep Casing Tools said: “Like many businesses in the oil and gas industry, the last few years have been difficult for us. With this investment and restructure we’ve created a sharper focus on the needs of customers and how our technology solutions can deliver value by reducing costs and increasing efficiency.”

We’re delighted to have Steve and David on board to drive the company’s growth strategy and deliver value for customers.”
