Career
Early Companies
During law school in 2008, Ross Tomson started SciMatics LLC, which was his first foray into business, specifically into oil and gas development and modelling projects. During his early work, he created modelling software that was used by major integrated oil and gas companies and automated systems in their flow assurance technology groups. Mr. Tomson continued SciMatics LLC until the start of Brine Chemistry Solutions and Shale Water Research Center.
Mr. Tomson went on to found both Shale Water Research Center and Brine Chemistry Solutions. These two companies were run in parallel with different focuses. Shale Water Research Center was created as a joint industrial project (JIP) between numerous oil and gas exploration and production companies having operations mainly in North America and focused on research and development on water challenges in onshore development. Brine Chemistry Solutions LLC was awarded a large research contract funded by the United States Department of Energy and focused on deepwater production scale and corrosion research under high pressure and high temperature. Through this work, his company developed new technologies for scale and corrosion assessment at deepwater production conditions. Brine Chemistry Solutions also worked on various other research and development projects including enhanced oil recovery work in Brazil's offshore wells.
Tomson Technologies
In January 2015, Mr. Tomson consolidated his companies into Tomson Technologies. Tomson Technologies joins Shale Water Research Center and Brine Chemistry Solutions' teams, personnel, and laboratory and office spaces creating a research and development company engaged in the fields of oil and gas flow assurance, production, and chemical expertise. Tomson Technologies is currently active in energy R&D with labs and offices in Houston, Texas, USA
