Managing Partner of Citadel Energy, Stanton Dodson, comments, "In a time where many are downsizing, Citadel Energy is growing. We believe this industry is a thriving opportunity for long term growth. Yes, oil prices are dictating short term opportunities, but as an industry we know these prices are not sustainable.  Citadel’s long term growth strategy, diversified over several areas including SWDs, freshwater provisioning, solids processing and saltwater gathering systems, includes being opportunistic during this time. To that end, Citadel Energy is pleased to bring aboard Adam and Elizabeth Powell. They are valuable assets to our team with extremely solid logistical and technical backgrounds which will help us continue to be nimble and react to the opportunistic acquisitions and service contracts we will be seeking out in the near term."

"One of the aspects of working in this industry that makes us all very proud is that what we do provides domestic jobs, frees our dependence on foreign oil and helps build a local economy. The fact that we can add two Armed Forces veterans to our team is an honor and a privilege. I have seen firsthand the sharp skillsets they have brought with them from their years of service. We wholeheartedly welcome Adam and Elizabeth to the Citadel team," continued Dodson.
