Drilling for success

Oil Field Products & Services

William H. von Eberstein Jr., president and CEO of ExPert E&P Consultants LLC, has always had a knack for entrepreneurship. After almost 30 years of on-the-job training with a single super-major energy company, von Eberstein left his position as director of project management for all North American deepwater operations to create his own company.

ExPert’s main role in the industry is to consult, manage projects and turnkey operations, and produce for the leaders of oil and gas drilling.

With von Eberstein at the helm, the company’s mission is to provide reliability, commitment, safety, diversity, teamwork, innovation and ethical services to its customers. The Louisiana-based company is able to reach and exceed its goals through excellent employees. ExPert prides itself with having employees who are multitalented, experienced have vast knowledge in drilling operations, complex directional drilling, engineering and technology.

The president and CEO has been able, with his entrepreneurial expertise, to create a company that is now a valued commodity in the oil and gas drilling industry. ExPert has three facets to its company: ExPert Consultants LLC, ExPert Riser Solutions LLC and ExPert Oil & Gas LLC. Von Eberstein hopes to also expand the ExPert business by adding a fourth facet, which will conduct business associated with a new patent of his that von Eberstein foresees as significantly supplementing and changing the way drilling companies mitigate a safety hazard aboard their drilling platforms.

Aside from enlarging ExPert’s services to its clients, von Eberstein expands ExPert’s services to the community. Because one of ExPert’s facets is located in an area of Louisiana recently affected by hurricanes, von Eberstein recognized a way to provide affordable housing for employees on-site while giving the company another competitive advantage to add to its already extensive list.
