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.”

Across every basin, every project, and every challenge, Kevin’s leadership continues to elevate our operational standards and reinforce our commitment to excellence.

Inspired by Family, Driven by the Future

Behind Kevin’s remarkable career stands his wife, Cristia, whom he credits as his greatest inspiration and steadfast supporter. With her encouragement—and decades of hard-earned experience—Kevin feels more energized than ever about the road ahead for both himself and the company.

“I have never been more excited about the future than I am now with U.S. Energy.”

Since joining the company, Kevin has witnessed firsthand our steady growth and strengthening momentum. He firmly believes that the best is yet to come.
