1. Brian Charles Hoskins
5205 Floyd St. #C Houston, TX 77007
Professional Summary
Mr. Hoskins has more than 20 years of industry experience, 15 years of which are in sand control completions and the
latter are in shale fracturing. Operational experience includes work on land, platform, jack-up, and floating rigs. Wells
designed and installed by Mr. Hoskins have dry and wet trees with sand face completions that include frac packs, open
and cased hole gravel packs, stand-alone screens, plug & perf, and open hole multistage hydraulic fractures.
Management experience includes offshore supervisors and junior engineers, including the mentorship of less experienced
completion, drilling, and production engineers.
My objective is to find a challenging completions role in a rewarding and enjoyable workplace environment.
