What believers are saying

  • DCS's employee stock ownership plan owns 55% of the company, giving employees a stake in its value.
  • DCS maintains a Lafayette R&D laboratory and operating bases across four distinct US shale basins.
  • DCS named former engineering intern Zachary West CEO in May 2026, following his engineering and president roles.
