Zayman Villegas is 30 yrs. old and was born in El Paso, TX. Zayman has a fiancé McKenzi and will be getting married in September.

Zayman graduated from Texas Tech University with a BS-Petroleum Engineering in May, 2016. Zayman’s eagerness to get a start in the oilfield was demonstrated with his acceptance of a summer pumping job during the downturn in that same year with Saguaro Petroleum in Sterling County! This job carried Zayman into a full-time position 9 months later as a district frac engineer with Pumpco Midland, TX. When a full-time Petroleum Engineering position came available, Zayman returned to Saguaro Petroleum where he spent the next 3 years during which time Return Disposal was founded. Zayman has worn lots of different hats and has learned on the fly with designing, drilling, and completing a wildcat well, designing a large Grayburg waterflood re-development and densification project, navigating a multitude of regulatory headaches, engineering and executing workovers, identifying efficiency projects, and overseeing the day-to-day operations of the entirety of Saguaro Petroleum’s well and lease inventory. During Covid, Saguaro / Return Disposal was forced to lay Zayman off. Zayman’s tenacity was demonstrated by his founding of Fiducia Energy Consulting. Zayman consulted some back to Saguaro Petroleum and Return Disposal along with a host of other clients for 2 years. Zayman was then asked to join a private equity backed Saddleback Exploration as a Sr. Operations Engineer over a large drilling & recompletion capital project in Ward County where he spent 1 year. Zayman was then recruited to rejoined the Saguaro Petroleum / Return Disposal team as Engineering & Business Manager in September, 2022.
