New MD Set to Scale Up Operations for ClearWELL

 

Alasdair Fergusson brings more than 25 years of oilfield management and marketing experience to ClearWELL, having worked for major service companies in Europe and the Middle East. Most recently he held the Paris-based position of Business Manager Europe and Africa, Production Technologies at Schlumberger (SLB)’s M-I SWACO, where he led and grew business capability in new markets.

Before joining Schlumberger, Alasdair was Director Eastern Hemisphere, Engineered Chemistry for Weatherford, based in the UAE, where the team delivered its largest ever contract win. As well as diversifying the business and delivering strategies for growth, he was also responsible for managing the ClearWELL product line, then distributed exclusively by Weatherford. This was preceded by a 10-year stint at Baker Hughes in production chemistry, drilling fluids and completion tools businesses with a sales and marketing focus.

The appointment follows FrontRow Energy Technology Group Limited’s recent acquisition of 50% of ClearWELL from previous owner MSL Oilfield Services, which retains the remaining 50%.

ClearWELL is a non-intrusive scale control technology which uses pulsed, high-frequency signals to prevent the formation of mineral scale in oil wells and process systems. ClearWELL’s innovative, low-cost, chemical-free solution has significant growth potential in an oil and gas market demanding cost-effective flow assurance.
