Celebrating 15 Years of Innovation and Excellence: Renegade’s Journey to Industry Leadership

From humble beginnings to the largest independent wireline provider in North America, Renegade’s success is driven by its employees, customers, and unwavering commitment to innovation.

Here at Renegade, we are excited to celebrate our 15th Anniversary. Our success is the result of believing in and steadfastly following our unique vision. It’s this vision that has established us as the leader in the wireline industry. Our motivation is always driven by innovation, commitment and a deep belief in our unique approach. We owe it all to strong leadership, dedicated employees and loyal customers.

A lot of factors have contributed to our success over the last 15 years, but first and foremost are our employees. Simply put, our employees are the best. Many of them are long-time employees with years of experience and many are second-generation as well. We demand the best and they provide the best every day. We will continue to attract, train, and retain the best. At Renegade, we are proud to be employee-owned. In 2024, we celebrated one year of our transition to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

We could not have achieved steady growth over the last 15 years without the support of our dedicated customers. They know Renegade is ready 24/7 whenever and wherever a wireline unit is needed, from initial frac planning to successful job execution all the way to plug and abandonment. We partner with our customers to determine the very best solution for their well. We look at all aspects of the job, including the formation, the goals of the customer, and our own resources to get the most oil and gas from the well in an economical, safe, and efficient manner.

Renegade Services was founded in 2009 by a group of wireline experts seeking to improve the way the industry works. Our goal was an improved working environment for our employees and the operator as well as future generations of oilfield workers.

Renegade started in Mansfield, Pennsylvania as a pump-down wireline operation but soon expanded into the Permian Basin opening offices in Levelland, Andrews, and Denver City, Texas. Today, Levelland is not only one of our thriving operations centers but the headquarters for Renegade. Read more about Renegade’s beginnings here.

In less than a decade, Renegade became the largest independently owned wireline company in the U.S. with 16 districts nationwide. Renegade has local offices and service centers in Texas, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Our employees pride themselves on being part of the community where they work and live.

Internationally, Renegade provides services in Canada and Malaysia and is licensed to offer its Local Expander™ Annular Squeeze Tool in five additional countries through a partnership with Shell.

What does the future hold? Well, for one thing, we will continue to innovate: it’s in our blood. Whether our technology is developed internally or through exclusive strategic technology partnerships, we bring the best and the latest tools, equipment, services, and solutions to the well site.

As we have over the past 15 years, Renegade will continue to offer professional, experienced personnel with a focus on automated well-site services, fit-for-purpose wireline safety equipment, environmental evaluation technology, and well integrity evaluation. Our goal is that all operations are carried out efficiently and safely to produce operational excellence and customer satisfaction.

Today, Renegade Services is the largest independent provider of cased-hole services in the North American oil and gas market. Renegade operates in all major oil and gas basins in the United States and is industry-recognized as the premier cased-hole completions service provider. We could not have achieved this without strong leadership, dedicated employees and steadfast customers who demand the best. We look forward to another 15 years.

In Memory of Gerald “Jerry” Gunset: Honoring a Legacy of Service and Partnership

February 1, 1939 – September 13, 2024

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gerald “Jerry” Gunset, a key figure in the creation and growth of Renegade Services’ Snyder District. Jerry, passed away on September 13, 2024, at the age of 85. His contribution to Renegade cannot be overstated. He was a visionary leader, a loyal partner, and above all, a man of faith, honesty, and integrity.

Jerry’s journey with Renegade began in 2011, when he and his son, Gary Gunset, made the decision to merge their family-owned business, Production Logging, with Renegade Services. Production Logging, which Jerry and his wife Eloise had founded in 1979, was built on the same principles that Renegade values today—dedication to quality, customer service, and employee care. Jerry’s deep roots in the wireline industry, dating back to the late 1960s, laid a solid foundation for this partnership, which has continued to thrive under the leadership of his son Gary, now the Snyder District Manager.

Jerry’s relationship with Renegade was more than just business—it was built on friendship, trust, and shared values. As Steve Gray, a board member at Renegade, recalls, he first met Jerry in the early 1970s when they worked together in the wireline business. That bond remained strong, and years later, when the opportunity arose to merge Production Logging into Renegade, both men were excited to reunite. The unique partnership they forged between their two companies was a testament to their mutual respect and desire to support each other’s businesses.

Jerry’s legacy lives on through the employees and operations at Renegade’s Snyder District. He was a man who believed in doing the right thing, no matter the cost. His emphasis on honesty and providing excellent service helped Renegade earn the trust of countless companies in the area. Even in retirement, Jerry and Eloise continued to support the Snyder District, with Jerry passing his knowledge and experience on to future generations of oilfield workers.

As we mourn the loss of Jerry, we also celebrate the life he lived and the values he left behind. His commitment to excellence, his devotion to his family, and his service to others will continue to inspire us. His life was one of purpose, grounded in faith, integrity, and love for his family and community.

For those who wish to express their condolences, the Gunset family has requested that all sentiments be shared online via the Miller Family Funeral Home’s memorial page. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Jerry’s honor to the 37th Street Church of Christ, a community that meant so much to him throughout his life.
