MidCentral Energy Partners, LLC, an asset performance management company serving the energy sector, announced Friday that it will be moving to larger and improved facilities in the Appalachian Basin with a new facility in Smithdale, Pa.
The new facility will triple the footprint for its site services and manufacturing/remanufacturing business lines. Just north of the West Virginia border, the facility will include 10 acres of yard for inventory, as well as have an increased lifting capacity of 60 tons.
MidCentral, headquartered in Oklahoma City, continues its rapid expansion, which includes locations in Midland, Texas (servicing the Permian Basin), San Antonio, Texas (servicing the Eagle Ford Shale), Pittsburgh, Pa. (servicing the Appalachian Basin), and Oklahoma (servicing the Midcontinent Region). The new Pennsylvania facility allows them to service the growing demand for their products and services in the region.
“Our business continues to grow from strength to strength in the Marcellus and Utica Shales,” CEO Kristian Kos said. “The more we push to modernize the industry, the more clients we are attracting. We have been bursting at the seams in our current location. The location was chosen to allow us to execute our strategy in the region.
The building will also provide for additional investment in people and machinery, said Scot Thompson, the Smithdale operations leader.
“Our people have earned this modern and spacious new facility. By providing johnny-on-the-spot service, they have created more demand for what we do. I am very proud of them. It will help us retain the great team that we have and attract additional talent to MidCentral,” he said.
