Hi! I'm Bill Capdevielle, an experienced oil and gas professional with over 45 years of experience. I have had a wide variety of technical and management positions in my career.

I also love new technology. I have implemented several "firsts." Almost 1/4 of my career has been working in upstream technology centers.

Bill Capdevielle Enterprises, LLC is a consulting services company through which I will work to identify new technologies—especially nanotechnologies—that have a potential application in the oil and gas industry. This will allow me to work with inventors and inventions to merge "good old" oilfield practices with new and exciting technology applications.

My Experience

My Commitment

I’m committed to helping both operators and service companies find new technology that boosts their bottom line and to helping new technology companies determine if they have a market in our industry.
