Georgetown Corporation (GTCP) Aims to Script a Success Story in Oil and Gas Industry

Business Wire
Georgetown Corporation (GTCP) is primarily a holding company
involved in the oilfields equipment business through its
subsidiaries. The company is a supply-side vendor to major oilfield
companies engaged in exploration and development of oil and gas
properties. Currently, Georgetown is servicing the contracts that
it has won in the United States. The company is aiming for bigger
objectives though as it looks to grow organically, through
acquisitions and simultaneously enlarge its geographic
footprint.
Since June this year, the company has been on a roll. A new
wholly-owned subsidiary, Synergy Oil Tool & Supply LLC, was
established to provide oilfield equipment to both independent and
major oilfield companies. The orders started flowing in almost
immediately. Initially, the subsidiary completed a substantial
amount of orders for oilfield products. Around the same time, Gary
Haub was appointed President of Synergy Oil Tool and Supply. Click

entrepreneur who has been in the oil and gas industry for more than
25 years. Under Mr. Haub’s leadership Synergy notched up additional
large orders for oilfield equipment.
This early success was a shot in the arm for Georgetown. The
company entered the global oilfields service industry with the
establishment of Synergy Services USA, another wholly-owned
subsidiary.
"With the addition of Synergy Services USA, we are moving closer
to our goal of creating a company with a vertical integration
strategy which will result in overall operational efficiencies, and
provide additional services to our existing clients," said Carl
Swan, CEO of Georgetown Corporation, about Synergy Services.
Synergy Services would provide services to oil and gas producers
in North America and the Gulf of Mexico related to the ongoing
servicing of producing wells and new drilling activity. Read more

The subsidiary model works well for Georgetown. It allows the
company to leverage its financial resources and management
expertise across domains, thus ensuring growth and profitability in
varied but connected areas. Georgetown’s role has been to optimize
the subsidiaries’ benefit from economies of scale through
consolidation of administrative functions and to provide a central
leadership consisting of acknowledged experts in various
domains.
A company is only as good as its personnel. Georgetown
recognizes this and has been putting together various management
teams which contribute significantly to the development and
expansion of each business' operations. This creative mentor-type
relationship between Georgetown and its subsidiaries is reinforced
further by Georgetown's extensive participation in each
subsidiary's board of directors.
Recent expansion has led to some high profile appointments.
James Guy Tucker came in as the Chairman of Georgetown. Mr. Tucker
has been a serial entrepreneur for 25 years with a multitude of
successful companies under his name in the United States and Asia.
Mr. Tucker is an active democrat and most notably, was the Governor
of Arkansas from December 1992 to January 1995.
The Board of Directors too was strengthened with the induction
of Happy Wells. Happy Wells comes in with strong managerial
experience. He is the CEO/Director of Operations of Private Jets
Inc. The company provides charters to businesses and individuals in
multiple cities. He is also the managing member of Security Jets
LLC. Mr. Wells has also served on the board of many private and
public companies, some of which operated in the oil and gas
sector.
Also, Mr. Carl Swan, the CEO of the company, has joined the
Board of Directors. He has over 50 years' experience in the energy
and related resources business. Mr. Swan is the President of
Swan Petroleum which he established way back in 1976. Earlier, Mr.
Swan has been linked with several successful drilling companies
like Basin Drilling, Continental Drilling, to name a few.
Mr. Glen Houck, Director, comments about Mr. Swan, “He is one of
the few people who can pick up the phone and get us an audience
with some of the largest oil and gas companies in the sector.”
The industry experience and contacts that Mr. Swan brings will
take Georgetown closer to its goal of being a premier products and
services vendor to the oil and gas industry.
In the near term, the new management wishes to increase the
service capabilities both for onshore and offshore platforms. This
would require a strong supply chain and infrastructure
capabilities. Finally, to thrive in such a capital intensive
business, the financials need to be strengthened. These remain the
critical focus areas of the company.
