On the episode today we have Shad Frazier, the VP of Operations at Endeavor
Shad’s story starts out with being the first engineer in his very large family. His mother comes from a family of 10 siblings. Before engineering was in the cards, Shad tried his hand at the Airforce. He talks about why he made the change and how he ended up with a full ride in Petroleum Engineering at Texas Tech, despite being on the football team.
He Graduated in DEC 96’ the lowest graduation rate for petroleum engineers in the United States. There were 3,000 jobs for 119 students. With every major operator at this fingertips Shad picked Anadarko, at this time Anadarko was small, it was not a large company. He talks about the field life and spearheading the transition from pumping slickwater to 40/70 proppant.
Throughout Shad's career he pioneered many projects which led to being away from home. The hardest time was when he was rotating in the Rockies. He tells us the impact this had on his family, specifically his son. A struggle many of us face today. Shad provides sound advice and how at the end of it his son thrived in the new environment.
We deep dive into leadership, skills, building your brand online and how to be an effective leader. Shad describes himself as a, “ Pro-Human Energy Developer” , we ask him to elaborate on what that means to him and his view on the future of our industry.
