Oil Patch Bits: Lori Davey appointed GM of Fairweather

Fairweather LLC announced the appointment of Lori Davey as the company’s new general manager. Davey will be responsible for directing all of Fairweather’s business activities and overseeing the company’s expansion and management of Deadhorse Aviation Center.
