Raptor Production Services donates equipment to School of Energy

Raptor Production Services of Carthage, owned by Chris Smith and Dustin Ruso, graciously donated an oil field Christmas tree to the Panola College School of Energy on August 1. Smith, also the Company’s president, was on site to represent Raptor and tour the new Matthews Foundation Energy Building.

The School of Energy is expanding and will offer two new courses in measurement and SCADA technology beginning this fall. The Christmas tree will be utilized to simulate gas flow from an actual wellhead to a meter run, giving energy students the opportunity to see how the equipment operates in an oil and gas field site.

“We are incredibly grateful to our industry partners for their generous donations and the invaluable time they’ve dedicated to supporting our program,” said Daniel Hall, Chair of the School of Energy. “Because of support from companies like Raptor Production Services, our students are better equipped to enter the workforce.”
