DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - Apr 17, 2014) - ENSERVCO Corporation (NYSE MKT: ENSV), a provider of well-site services to the domestic onshore conventional and unconventional oil and gas industries, today announced Rick Kasch has been promoted to chief executive officer. Kasch assumes the position from Mike Herman, ENSERVCO's founder and largest shareholder, who will continue in his role as chairman. 

Kasch has been an executive with ENSERVCO and its predecessors since 2006, when he and Herman launched the Company through the acquisition of a small, regional fluid heating business. Since then, Kasch has held the positions of chief financial officer, chief operating officer and president; and the Company has grown into one of the nation's largest providers of frac water heating, well acidizing and hot oiling services. Kasch and Austin Peitz, vice president of field operations, have directed ENSERVCO's expansion into seven major domestic oil and gas basins. The Company now serves more than 300 customers, including many of the nation's largest exploration and production companies. 

Herman said, "Rick is a talented and insightful executive who has been instrumental in ENSERVCO's growth over the past eight years. I am extremely confident in his strategic vision and leadership abilities, and look forward to working closely with him from my position as chairman as we pursue the ongoing expansion of the Company."

Kasch said, "Less than 10 years ago, Mike established a strategy for building a competitive, fast-growing business within the domestic oil and gas services industry. It has been a privilege helping him execute that strategy. We will continue to collaborate as we pursue a range of organic and external growth opportunities. Demand for our services remains very strong in both existing and prospective service territories, and I believe we are well positioned to maintain a strong growth trajectory for the foreseeable future."

Herman also is chairman and interim CEO of publicly traded Pyramid Oil Company, a California-based exploration and production company.
