Basin Energy Celebrates Open House and Ribbon Cutting

After months of construction and preparation, Basin Energy Group, along with subsidiaries ProActive Services and Starett's Well Service, officially opened the doors at its new location yesterday. The two-story office building, shop, and two-acre yard is the home of all three companies. Basin Energy serves as a holding company and focuses on providing services and solutions to the midstream segment of the natural gas industry.

"We are very fortunate to be working for some of the major players in the industry," said Bill Johnson, CEO. "This new facility will allow us to continue the growth we're seen during the last year and potentially grow our service offereings as well."

The Harrison County Chamber of Commerce facilitated the ribbon cutting and representatives from Senator Joe Manchin and Governor Earl Ray Toblim's office were on hand to help celebrate.

After the ribbon cutting, an open house was held, welcoming in both commuity members and the more than 100 combined employees from the three companies. Since it's formation in mid-2014, Basin Energy has more than doubled it's workforce. The new location in Clarksburg, WV is positioned in the middle of many industry leaders working in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays.
