Intrepid Potash, Inc., Denver, said on Oct. 16 that it has appointed Alex Wagner as vice president of business development – Oilfield Services. He will be tasked with escalating the growth of Intrepid’s water, heavy brine, high-speed potassium chloride mixing, salt water disposal, and trucking service lines. Centralizing the management of these products and services is an important step towards Intrepid’s previously announced intent to grow its oilfield services organically and through potential complementary acquisitions.
Wagner joins Intrepid from Phenix Energy Partners LLC, where as managing member, he advised on low- to mid-market equity-backed oil and gas acquisitions and acted as subject matter expert across several oil and gas disciplines. Previously, he served for a combined 15 years in a series of positions with increasing responsibility at Halliburton and BJ Services. Intrepid said his background includes experience in drilling, completion, and production activities, and extensive work in fracking, salt water disposal, and water handling and treatment.
