Oleg Tolmachev
For years we wrote about Oleg Tolmachev, chief driller at Eclipse Resources. He was the guy who figured out how to drill those record-breaking, super long onshore laterals--some of the longest on record (see our stories mentioning Oleg Tolmachev here). Eclipse was sold to and merged in with Montage Resources. Montage was then sold to and merged in with Southwestern Energy. Somewhere along the way Tolmachev departed. Some 13 months ago Tolmachev was hired by Ukraine to help that country figure out how to drill and frack wells so it can wean itself off Russian natural gas and oil. Today Tolmachev is working to keep the natural gas flowing in the country, a country besieged by Russian invaders.
