Crosby Energy Services has been able to celebrate 50 years as a prospering business because of its focus on stability, safety, and success.
Founded by Charles and Dimples Crosby in 1968, the company started as C&D Wireline when Charles, who was unemployed at the time, borrowed some money to purchase wireline equipment. Working seven days a week while performing numerous jobs with the equipment, he brought on his wife Dimples to run day-to-day operations.
“He [Charles] got along very well with people on the rigs. He just has one of those likable personalities, very genuine,” Byron Chambers, Director of Marketing at Crosby says. “He lives by his faith and treats everybody according to the golden rule.”
Today, after rebranding and putting all of their companies under one umbrella in 2014, Crosby Energy Services continues to be a family business. Charles and Dimples’ sons, Mike, Chuck, and Robbie oversee the production workers, wireline, and construction sides of the business, respectively. Dimples still runs day-to-day operations of the entire company from their office in Cut Off. The Crosby brothers tribute the longevity of the business to the hard-working foundation their parents laid out for them.
Crosby’s energy professionals and consultants’ skills and knowledge give them the ability to help any business in the oil and gas industry. The business has highly trained onshore/offshore production operators, plant operators, electrical technicians, equipment operators, and more.
Since they have been providing wireline services since 1968, their expertise gained over the years makes them a standout in the industry today.
“Today, we provide leading-edge wireline and slickline combo unit services to the oil and gas industry throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Onshore, we have one of the newest wireline fleets in the industry with highly skilled, dedicated crews with the experience you expect,” Crosby’s website, www.crosbyenergyservices.com, states.
The maintenance and construction crews at Crosby bring their professionalism to every job and have the equipment and training to manage road and pad construction, right-of-way clearing, pipeline maintenance, and any other necessary jobs in the field.
The company also offers plant maintenance, project management, shop fabrication, and construction site support.
Safety is not just a top priority at Crosby, it’s a culture. It’s also something they feel their employees “believe in and live” every day.
Crosby also puts their employees first by visiting them at on-site jobs, offering great benefits, 401k match, and more. They strive to make their dedicated employees successful, which keeps the business thriving.
“We’ve taken the same philosophy that our mother and dad had that our job as managers and owners is to improve the quality of life for our employees,” Chuck says.•
