Midland chemical manufacturer adds Director of Commercial Ops, Regional Sales Manager
(MIDLAND, TEXAS – September 24, 2021) – Shotwell Hydrogenics, a leading chemical manufacturer, has appointed Len Wall to the role of Director of Commercial Operations. Wall brings more than 20 years of experience in the chemicals industry to the role, where he will oversee the company’s commercial operations. Further adding to the team, Shotwell onboarded Chris Acosta as regional sales manager responsible for business development in the Permian Basin.
Shotwell is the exclusive manufacturer of NRGMax®, a proprietary platform technology that makes active chemical ingredients perform better.

NRGMax also is available to chemical manufacturers through specific commercial agreements.
“As we continue to expand Shotwell’s portfolio of oil and gas specialty chemicals, Len and Chris bring experience and expertise to our team that will enhance our market penetration,” says Russell Brown, President of Shotwell Hydrogenics. “They’re both exceptional additions, and I’m looking forward to collaborating with them to bring our NRGMax-powered products to the industry.”
Wall joins Shotwell from Chemisol Energy Solutions and NuAgro Resources. Throughout his career, Wall has been a serial entrepreneur, making him a natural fit for the Shotwell startup. He previously held roles at Betz Laboratories (now GE Betz), Entec, and Betz Power. Wall holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Indiana University.
“Having worked in matrixed organizations across oil and gas, agrichemicals, plastics, and water treatment for the last two decades, I’m excited to work with the technology Shotwell creates and increase adoption,” said Wall. “I’m looking forward to helping the team map out the next phase of their journey.”
Acosta enters Shotwell after a nearly 10-year career in the oil and gas industry with Basic Energy Services, where he held myriad roles in sales, operations, and district management. A native of Midland, Acosta studied Fire Science Technology at Midland College and has spent his career focused on oilfield operations in the Permian Basin.
“I’ve always had a passion for helping my customers find the best solutions to their problems, and I’ve found those same customer-centric values at Shotwell,” said Acosta. “The team is a great fit, and I am excited for more customers to experience the difference our oilfield chemicals can make.”
