About Leighton Tapia

I\'m blessed and extremely thankful for my time in oil and gas thus far. I will always strive to do better and be better every day. I’m highly driven, motivated, personable, thoughtful, and a great listener. I left Amarillo, Texas in 2014 to join the oilfield in Midland, Texas, where I have been since. I had the opportunity to join Schlumberger as a Field Sales Representative in the Delaware Basin at that time, where I learned the drilling and drill bits segment hands on. I believe there is no better way to learn the industry than being in the field. I progressed to a Technical Sales Representative in the Permian with Schlumberger at the end of 2016; this promotion moved me in to the office, where I then had the opportunity to learn our business further in depth and better position myself to assist our customers. I will be forever grateful to the people I worked with at Schlumberger and the experience the company brought me. In June of 2017, I took on a new challenge as the Regional Sales Manager of the Permian for Preferred Sands. I couldn’t turn away the opportunity to learn frac and become a more well rounded Business Development and Sales/Account Manager. This company has given me that and much more. I love the fact that I’ve had the chance to make a significant difference and help Preferred Sands grow over the years. As of September 2020, I joined the Conquest Completion Services team and the coiled tubing world here in the Permian. I believe this is a strong opportunity to develop myself both downhole and operationally and provide my customers with day to day solutions. I’m excited to see where this journey takes me. At the end of the day, from my time at Schlumberger to Preferred, and now to present day at Conquest, my goal has been to always take care of my customers and ensure we make a positive impact with solutions, operations, and customer service. The rest will take care of itself.
