Galileo Technologies (Galileo) announced the launch of Galileo Compression USA, a new business division in the United States. Galileo is a global compression manufacturer and service provider with over 30 years of global experience. “The US oil and gas compression market is radically changing as its participants are increasingly shifting to asset-light, high-technology solutions with an ESG focus,” said Osvaldo del Campo, CEO of Galileo.
Galileo Compression USA will be led by Ronald J. Foster as President and COO, overseeing its compression sales and fleet operations in North America. Foster has more than 40 years of energy services experience with companies such as Halliburton and Dresser Industries, as well as approximately two decades of senior management and executive experience in the oil and gas compression industry. Foster most recently served as senior vice president and CMO of CSI Compressco G.P. Prior to the acquisition of Compressor Systems Inc., Foster served as president and board director for Compressco Partners, L.P.
“Ron Foster is the right leader for Galileo Compression USA,” said del Campo. “Ron’s extensive compression background, strategic and tactical skills, business development, and industry alliances will launch Galileo’s presence in the compression market here in the United States.”
“I am very excited to join Galileo to build our value-added, world-class compression solutions business,” said Ron Foster. “I believe we have a great business model and a highly talented executive team to capitalize on the growing demand for clean and environmentally friendly natural gas and associated liquids. We are well-positioned to provide a value-added suite of compression solutions utilizing the highest quality standards and the latest compression technology.
