Celebrating 20 Years of Upstream International
2024 year marks a major milestone for Upstream International: 20 years of service to the oil
and gas industry.
In 2004, Upstream was a single computer, a spare bedroom and our founder Bob Verrett’s
vision. Today, it’s an experienced in-house team plus hundreds of the industry’s best
consultants, led by a second generation.
From our start as a family-owned business with a vision for doing things differently, to
becoming a trusted partner for energy companies across Texas and beyond, we’re proud of
how far we’ve come—and incredibly grateful to the clients, consultants, and team members
who’ve helped us get here.
Built to Last
Since day one, Upstream has been guided by a simple but powerful mission:
Deliver reliable service, do right by our people, and show up when it counts.
For two decades, that mindset has carried us through market cycles, global challenges, and
rapid industry change. It’s helped us build long-term relationships and a reputation for getting
the job done—without cutting corners or outsourcing the essentials.
What Sets Us Apart
After 20 years, our core strengths remain the same:
- Texas-based, human support—not offshore call centers
- Quick, no-fee consultant pay
- Best-in-class insurance, including Workers Comp
- A reputation for field-ready talent and follow-through
We’ve grown, but we haven’t outgrown the values that got us here.
Looking Ahead
As a second-generation company, we’re proud of our roots—and even more excited for the
future. With strong leadership, a deep bench of experienced consultants, and a clear vision for
the road ahead, Upstream is just getting started.
Whether you’ve partnered with us from the beginning or recently joined the journey, thank
you for being part of the Upstream story. Here’s to the next 20 years—stronger, smarter, and
more committed than ever.
