“I think what we’re doing with Axis CORE® digital technology and all of the new equipment is very exciting,” says Mr. Phillips. “This company is definitely data focused and has the full package of completion and production services, as well as advanced technology. I’m excited to work with Dirk Lee and the rest of the team and to continue the work that Wendell has given me.”
