Spotlight Series: Meet Kevin Duncan

Meet Kevin Duncan, a true veteran of the oil patch whose career spans more than four decades across drilling, completions, and production. With deep expertise in every stage of the petroleum engineering lifecycle, Kevin has built a legacy of leadership, technical mastery, and an unwavering commitment to safe and efficient operations.

Kevin joined U.S. Energy Development Corporation in January 2020, and from day one, he recognized something special in the way the company evaluates, analyzes, and advances new opportunities. With a deal flow process he describes as a "well-oiled machine," he quickly found himself energized by the pace, precision, and collaboration that power U.S. Energy's success.

A Career Defined by Operational Excellence

Kevin takes immense pride in the many wells our Operations team has safely drilled and completed during his tenure. Each project, he says, is the result of meticulous planning, thoughtful execution, and a team of highly skilled professionals who bring their best every day.

"I have been involved with asset evaluation throughout most of my career, but I have never seen such a well-oiled machine as the process we have here at U.S. Energy… It's truly what makes U.S. Energy so unique and successful."
