A team built
for frac performance
DCS's approach may be simple, but its team is diverse and dynamic. Innovation is only as good as the talent that creates it, and within DCS lies a world class team that is free to perform without the typical preconceived notions that can detract from innovation.
Success in business can be defined in many ways, but DCS measures success by smiles, high fives, and small victories. These measures often lead to winning in the marketplace — and for that DCS is thankful and grateful for all of the individuals that choose to be a part of its team.
Owned by the people
who do the work
DCS is a 55% Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) company established in 2023. That means every person on our team — from field operators to executive leadership — has a direct stake in the company's success. While DCS has outside investors, they hold no management control. When we win for our clients, we win for ourselves.
Certified ESOP Company

The people
who lead DCS
DCS's executive team brings decades of hands-on experience in oil and gas completion chemistry and the broader oilfield services industry — from field operations and chemical formulation to commercial strategy and financial leadership. They've worked alongside operators in every major basin and understand what best-in-class completion performance actually requires.
What sets the DCS leadership team apart isn't just technical depth — it's alignment. As employee owners in the DCS ESOP, our executives carry the same stake in this company's success as every other member of the team. There are no outside shareholders pulling in a different direction. When we deliver outstanding value for our clients, the entire company wins together.
Board of
Directors
Wayne Cutrer founded Downhole Chemical Solutions alongside co-founder Chase Copeland in 2015 with a clear mission: do one thing, and be the best at it. Over the next eleven years, he built DCS from the ground up into a 220+ employee organization delivering industry-leading completion chemistry across the Permian, Haynesville, and Eagle Ford basins — and helped pioneer the dry friction reducer delivery model that has since reshaped how operators approach slickwater completions.
In 2026, Wayne stepped down as CEO, passing the reins to the executive team he helped develop. He remains DCS's Chairman of the Board and its most committed champion — fully invested in the company's future as its founding employee owner.
