Kyle has been working with operators in the Appalachian basin for more than ten years. He has a technical background comprising seven years of machining experience and fifteen years of oilfield experience—of which seven were in a management or supervisory role. Kyle began his career with five years at Clark Manufacturing as a CNC/Manual Machinist, and in that position, he manufactured compressor station pumps and offshore oil rig hydraulic leveling system components. He graduated first in his precision machine tool technology class. Then he transitioned into the oilfield, working for thru-tubing and drilling companies. He held positions such as shop technician, dispatcher, operations manager of fishing and rental tools, sales/operations for fishing and rental, and field tool supervisor. This variety gives him unique insight into both the manufacturing side and also the intricacies of distribution to various other product lines. His vast knowledge of drilling tools and design manufacturing allows him to help customers with their most challenging tasks.

With more than twenty-eight years of multidisciplinary experience in the oil and gas industry in the Northeast US, Shane has done everything from servicing to managing entire distribution regions. His professional history includes Baker Hughes, where he began as a shop technician and advanced all the way to Area Operations Manager. In 2012, he transitioned to a technical sales manager for multiple product lines at National Oilwell Varco (NOV), one of the largest oilfield component manufacturers in the world. Shane’s knowledge, experience, and customer engagement have allowed him to top the industry in more than one discipline for two of the largest companies in the world in their respective markets. NEOP is eager to bring his expertise, leadership, and customer base to an already growing business segment.
