Texas Pre-Spud Compliance, Risk & Safety Vendor Bench · building in the open, 2026–

Ken connects Permian operators preparing to drill with vetted pre-spud compliance, energy-risk, and H₂S safety providers, while the permit is still fresh.

I monitor public Texas drilling activity, qualify the timing and operating context, and connect small and mid-size operators with the environmental, insurance, and field-safety providers who fit the job, before generic outreach catches up.

Sourced from the Texas Railroad Commission drilling permit record. I don’t sell a permit list. A permit is where I start, then I verify the operator, the filing stage, and the location before any introduction.

What I source

No deal to point at yet, so here’s exactly what I put in motion.

Operator preparing a site environmental compliance provider

Environmental engineering, spill-prevention (SPCC) planning, and field-compliance support for operators getting a location ready. I bring providers the operators whose permits just cleared, while the plan is still being written.

Operator heading into a drilling cycle specialist energy broker

Well-control and energy-insurance introductions for operators reviewing pre-spud risk and coverage. Not a generic insurance list. Operators who are filing to drill now.

Operator in a sour-gas area H₂S safety provider

H₂S planning, monitoring, gas detection, breathing air, and training, where the operation calls for it. I route the right field-safety provider fast, not every provider to every well.

New or growing operator financial-assurance specialist

Additional support: introductions to Texas oil and gas financial-assurance and surety specialists for operator registration and bonding, where appropriate.

How vendors get on the bench. Before I route an operator to anyone, I check current insurance certificates, ISNetworld or Avetta standing, safety record, and whether they’re ready to sign an MSA. Vendors who don’t clear that don’t get introduced.

Building in the open. I’m working alongside myoProcess, a vetted B2B partner trusted across $1B+ in transactions, while I route my first introductions in this lane. My first closed match replaces this paragraph.

Work with Ken

Tell me where you’re at and what you’re trying to fix.

Taking my first 3 counterparties in this lane.

If you operate in the Permian and have a permit in hand, or you provide compliance, energy-risk, or H₂S safety services to operators who do, tell me which one you are and when the rig is coming.
