Monte Lynn Hay, P.G.
President
Monte began his oil and gas career at a young age trailing along with his father and grandfather on the drilling rig. His vast working knowledge of oil and gas drilling and production correlated with his desire to learn more about the Earth when he became a registered Petroleum Geologist by gaining his education at the University of Kentucky. Monte is the fourth generation of oil and gas producers in his family lineage with his Great Grandfather beginning the drilling side. Monte has been accredited with pursuing the deep Cambrian sand play within the Rome Trough. With several discoveries in the Rome Trough play, Hay Exploration, Inc. has grown to be recognized throughout the entire industry with numerous publications involving the Rome Trough in the Appalachian Basin. Monte assumes all responsibilities within the company for choice of well locations, well completions, field activities, and project discovery.
