Charles Reed Cagle, widely recognized as Reed Cagle, is a distinguished consultant specializing in the energy and oil sectors. Leveraging his extensive industry experience, he offers invaluable guidance to clients, with a particular emphasis on optimizing operations and harnessing the benefits of horizontal drilling techniques.
Born in 1962 and raised in the heart of Clarksville, Texas, Reed's wanderlust has taken him to various corners of the world, yet his heart remains firmly rooted in the Lone Star State. Over three decades ago, he embarked on a lifelong journey with his beloved wife, Donna, nurturing their son into adulthood. Their family's odyssey took them from Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 1999 to their current abode in Plano, Texas, where they continue to thrive.
Reed's illustrious career commenced in 1986, with his initial role as an associate at Kinlaw Oil Corporation. His unyielding passion for the industry propelled him to delve deeply into every facet of the company and the energy sector as a whole. During this time, he steadily ascended the corporate ladder, shouldering increasing responsibilities before deciding to chart his course independently after a decade of dedicated service.
In 1996, Reed made the bold decision to part ways with Kinlaw, embarking on an entrepreneurial venture in Dallas, Texas. The following year, he founded Heartland Energy Inc., which would soon be known as HEI. As the president and chief executive officer, Reed collaborated with joint venture partners, uniting a diverse spectrum of industry professionals, from operators to drilling contractors, engineers to geophysicists, and service companies. The company's core focus lies in supporting ventures and exploring gas, oil, and mineral resources.
Reed's foray into the drilling service segment of the oil industry materialized in 2006 when he joined forces with Mid Continent Drilling. He not only provided financial backing but also oversaw the construction of a powerful 2000-horsepower drilling rig. Additionally, the company acquired a Mesa Model 1500 drilling rig capable of delving to depths reaching 20,000 feet.
The year 2011 marked Reed Cagle's entry into the mining industry, both in the United States and South America. He initiated his mining endeavours by acquiring a concession in Oregon, yielding an impressive 89,000 ounces of gold. His involvement extended to Chile, where he played a pivotal role in the management and funding of a gold and copper processing facility in Copiapo. However, his crowning achievement in mining was the development of a proprietary process for extracting and neutralizing toxic substances from liquids while efficiently separating precious metals. This groundbreaking technology found applications in Copiapo, with the potential to revolutionize the global mining sector.
Reed Cagle is a firm believer in the transformative power of his innovations, which have the potential to revolutionize mining practices worldwide.
Currently residing in Plano, Texas, Reed provides consulting services to local oil and energy companies, with a strong focus on midsize independent firms. His consulting prowess extends to various other industries, including a notable collaboration with a major landscaping company serving East and Central Texas, in addition to his gas and oil clients.
Beyond the boardroom, Reed embraces the great outdoors with fervour. An enthusiastic hunter, avid fly fisherman, and dedicated cyclist, he actively promotes the benefits of cycling for people of all ages. He also boasts a private pilot's license and finds joy in soaring through the skies. His active involvement in his local church frequently leads to requests for him to organize engaging men's fellowship activities. With a golf handicap of 4, Reed enjoys the sport immensely, often partaking in rounds with his son and sponsoring charitable golf tournaments.
