About DCS

Our
Company

Founded in November 2015 with a simple guiding principle — focus on a core offering and be the absolute best at it. Today DCS is the recognized leader in dry friction reducer delivery and slickwater fluid system additives.

Section 1 — Our Approach

De-commoditize
the commodity

Since its inception in November 2015, DCS has continuously pushed the limits of innovation as it relates to slickwater fluid systems. Our approach is simple — de-commoditize the commodity.

As pioneers of the viscosifying friction reducer movement in 2013, the founders of DCS have a proven history of commercializing disruptive products and services that provide quantifiable performance and economic value to their clients.

With the introduction of its patented DriFlow™ dry polymer delivery system in January 2019, DCS introduced a step change in how friction reducers were applied during fracturing operations. Today DCS operates DriFlow™ units across the Haynesville, Mid-Con, Eagle Ford, and Permian Basins.

Section 3 — Employee Ownership

Employee
powered & owned

DCS is an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) company — which means our 220 employees aren't just team members, they're owners. This structure creates a fundamentally different kind of company: one where every person is personally invested in doing right by the client, the job, and each other.

Employee Owners

Every DCS employee participates in the ESOP — from field operators to executive leadership. One team, one mission.

100%

DCS is fully employee-owned. There are no outside private equity investors — just 220 owners who show up every day to build something lasting.

DCS transitioned to an ESOP structure in 2021, ensuring that the people who do the work share in the value they create.

Who we are &
what we stand for

Mission Statement

Our mission is to deliver quantifiable value to our clients and shareholders through innovative technology, service, and empowered employee owners.

Guiding Principles

01

Fierce dedication to excellence in service

Service is at the core of everything we do; and as a group of highly competitive, highly trained, and highly incentivized individuals, we do it better than anyone else. With an aligned group of employee owners, all working towards the same goal, we work like no other to ensure our clients receive service above and beyond what's expected.

02

Transparency, respect, and accountability to our clients & our employee-owners

At the center of our culture is a desire to win together. And that starts with accountability to not only our clients, but to one another. We mandate that our team works together with respect for one another, creating an environment that every employee owner enjoys working in. We don't shy away from our high standards — we communicate them with full transparency, setting the bar high, and working together to reach it.

03

Endless pursuit of innovation and continuous improvement

When commoditization threatens, we develop unique and innovative technologies that work to decommoditize the commodity, delivering enhanced value to our customers. We then work tirelessly to gather feedback from our team and our customers to iterate those technologies & offerings in pursuit of true continuous improvement.

04

Powered by a culture rooted in teamwork and safety

Performance and excellence do not take place in a vacuum. We believe that success is built on efficient interactions and support between every function of our business — a large team of individuals, working together towards a common goal. But we believe success extends beyond the organization's performance. Ensuring our team members leave work the same way they arrived by focusing on safety & employee wellbeing are absolutely essential and paramount to our success.

HSE Statement

Downhole Chemical Solutions prides itself on working with the customers and the citizens in the areas we are working to maintain a safe and stable environment. Our paramount pursuit is the safety and well-being of our employee owners, clients, industry partners, and the communities we operate in. It is our objective to eliminate the risk of injury, damage to the environment, or other negative externality.
