The Energists Places Deepak Khatri as Vice President of Cementing at ProPetro

The Energists is pleased to announce the successful placement of Deepak Khatri as Vice President of Cementing at ProPetro Services, a leading provider of oilfield services in the Permian Basin.

With more than 20 years of hands-on leadership in cementing operations, Deepak brings deep technical expertise and operational precision to one of the region’s most mission-critical service lines. His extensive experience building and managing high-performing cementing teams—both across North America and in global markets—positions him as a transformational leader known for aligning people, process, and performance.

“This was a high-priority, highly competitive executive search,” said Jerry Kurinsky, Managing Director at The Energists. “Deepak stood out for his strategic insight, operational rigor, and deep familiarity with the Permian landscape.”

The search was led by Jerry D. Kurinsky, Dipika Patel, and Tom Dowdy, who leveraged The Energists’ specialized energy talent network to deliver this targeted and impactful result.

Nick Todd, Senior Manager of Talent at ProPetro, reflected on the collaboration:

“Having worked with The Energists before, we came into this search with high expectations. Once again, they did not disappoint and sourced someone of a caliber we are genuinely excited about. Deepak brings the leadership and strategic clarity we need for our next phase of growth.”

We are proud to partner with ProPetro in their continued commitment to operational excellence and leadership in the Permian.
