HOUSTON, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Tejas Holdings has acquired the assets of
Tulsa-based Team Oil Tools ("Team") in a transaction sponsored by Intervale
Capital ("Intervale"). The combined businesses will be rebranded as Tejas
Completion Solutions ("Tejas").
Team Oil Tools is a highly respected independent manufacturer of packers and
down-hole completion tools. Team was founded in 1997 by Mike Sommers and Don

will become Tejas' Vice President of Packer Systems Development and Tinker
will oversee Team's existing U.S. Service Centers.
Tejas CEO Thomas Hill commented, "We are excited to partner with Team Oil
Tools to broaden our completion products and services offering. The
acquisition allows Tejas to continue its commitment to technological
excellence for our completion customers. The combination leverages the
manufacturing and distribution capabilities of Team and the design,
engineering and testing resources of Tejas, enabling Tejas to be a leading,
integrated supplier of down-hole completion products."
Curtis Huff, a Managing Partner at Intervale added, "The acquisition of Team
expands Tejas' addressable market in the U.S. to the growing extended-reach
horizontal shale plays. We see tremendous potential in Team's multi-stage,
open-hole T-Frac(TM) zonal isolation systems."
