Jay Carter Takes the Helm as President at Laser Midstream Energy

In a significant move for the industry, Laser Midstream Energy has announced the appointment of Jay Carter as its new President, effective immediately. With a remarkable 16-year career at the company, Carter brings a wealth of experience in natural gas gathering and processing, making him a vital asset in leading the organization.

Carter's journey with Laser has seen him contribute significantly to the company’s growth trajectory. I.J. "Chip" Berthelot, II, the company's founder, expressed confidence in Carter's abilities, stating, "Jay has been an integral part of our team, demonstrating not only a deep understanding of the midstream sector but also a steadfast commitment to our company's mission and values." This new chapter marks an exciting evolution for both Carter and Laser Midstream, highlighting the company's commitment to excellence and leadership.

Within the company, a sense of optimism surrounds this transition. Peter Augustini, Managing Partner at Energy Spectrum, expressed pride in backing the Laser team for the fourth time, attributing this to their strong vision and execution. "Mr. Carter's promotion to President is a testament to his capable leadership and the trust he has earned within the organization," Augustini noted, indicating that the firm’s sustained support stems from a shared belief in the potential of Laser Midstream.

Reflecting on the leadership transition, the company has also acknowledged the contributions of John Loiacono, who has stepped down as President after three productive years. Loiacono's leadership significantly influenced the company's expansion, and he will continue as Executive Vice President. His ongoing involvement in shaping the strategic vision ensures continuity in the firm’s progress.

Laser Midstream has established itself as a formidable player in the competitive sector, engaging in strategic expansions aimed at servicing the growing Gulf Coast liquified natural gas (LNG) markets. The company is well-positioned, benefiting from the backing of Energy Spectrum Capital, a private equity firm specializing in midstream energy investments. This relationship has been instrumental in identifying strategic opportunities that align with industry demands.

With a strong operational presence in East Texas and North Louisiana, Laser Midstream is not just focused on maintaining its current position; it is actively pursuing continuous improvement and innovation within its core operations. The firm’s dedication to values such as integrity and excellence is reflected in its approach to developing a proactive management team that can adapt to the dynamic energy landscape.

As Jay Carter steps into his role, industry observers anticipate a forward-thinking approach that will enhance not only the firm’s operational efficiency but also its relationships with partners and stakeholders. This strategic reformation sets the stage for Laser Midstream to thrive in the energy sector, underpinned by a commitment to delivering value and fostering a culture of leadership development.
