What Gama does
Gama LLC is a privately held, family-owned industrial services company headquartered in Carlsbad, New Mexico, serving the oil and gas industry across Southeast New Mexico (Permian Basin). Founded in 2012 with the launch of Gama Transport, the company has built a multi-division operating model around four core service lines: Gama Construction (turnkey civil and mechanical facility, pipeline, well/lease road, and gas-lift construction and maintenance), Powder Coating Solutions / PCS (electrostatic internal/external pipe coating, fusion bond coating, cathodic protection, and holiday testing using GEMA equipment and 42-foot ovens), GAMA Transport (24/7 water hauling and heavy equipment transportation via a 65-unit fleet), and GAMA Hydro (0–10kpsi hydrostatic pressure testing delivered from a mobile unit with certified gauges and complete data packages).
The underlying technology stack is industrial rather than software-driven: GEMA co-developed electrostatic coating lances, calibrated Elcometer thickness measurement equipment, NBIC-accredited pressure-vessel inspection processes, and a mobile climate-controlled hydrostatic test cell. Revenue is generated project-by-project through quote-based contracts (no public pricing) won via direct enterprise field sales, with division-specific email contacts (Construction, Transport, PCS, Accounts Payable) and customer appreciation events reinforcing relationships with major operators such as Occidental Petroleum.
The customer base is concentrated in the Oil and Gas Operators, Oilfield Service Companies, and Pipeline/Facility Operators segments of the Permian Basin. The company is led by the founding Gama family — Juan Gama (Owner), Jose E. Gama (General Manager), Enrique Gama Sr., and Enrique Gama Jr. — supported by a Safety Department with 30 years of OSHA, H2S, Safe Land, and CPR/First Aid certifications that institutionalizes compliance under the Safety Vision 2020 framework. With 101–250 employees, no external institutional capital, and operations confined to a single state and a single vertical, Gama is a regionally focused, family-controlled industrial services operator whose strategy emphasizes multi-service bundling and regulatory credentials over geographic or vertical diversification.
