Cover page
1.You disclose that you intend to offer and sell the shares of common stock through your
officers and directors. As this appears a best efforts offering without a minimum
number of shares that must be sold and proceeds received will be immediately available to
you, please disclose the effects on investors both here and in the risk factors. For example,
disclose that you may receive no proceeds or very minimal proceeds from the offering,
and that in the event you do not raise sufficient capital to implement your planned

operations, an investor's entire investment could be lost. See Item 501(b)(8) of Regulation
S-K.
2.Your prospectus cover page states that the offering will be conducted by officers and
directors without commissions, thus your gross proceeds should be consistent with the
total public offering price of $6 million. However, you list your "proceeds before
expenses to us" as being $1.90 per share resulting in proceeds of $5.7 million. Please
explain this discrepancy and revise your disclosure accordingly. For example, clarify
whether you are paying a commission to your officers and directors or are otherwise
paying such a commission to another entity, and clarify any basis of underwriting.
Corporate History and Recent Developments, page 7
3.You disclose that you have executed an investment banking and corporate advisory
agreement with Newbridge Securities Corporation, and that this agreement will be filed as
an exhibit. However, we note such agreement is not filed nor listed in the exhibit index.
Please file the agreement with Newbridge Securities Corporation. See Item 601 of
Regulation S-K.

4.Please identify the time periods associated with Mr. Delancey's business experience over
the past five years. In this regard, it is unclear his duration of employment as CEO of
Delancey's Pumping Services, Inc. See Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K.
Use of Proceeds, page 44
5.We note you disclose the net proceeds from this Offering, after deduction of estimated
expenses, will be approximately $5,700,000 if all shares of Common Stock offered are
sold. However, the estimated offering expenses appear inconsistent with the estimated
expenses of the offering described in Part II of the registration statement. Please explain
this discrepancy or revise.
6.You appear to disclose the impact of receiving proceeds at 50% and 100% of the shares
sold. As this appears a best efforts, no minimum offering , please revise to also
disclose the impact of receiving funds at more varying levels, e.g., 10%, 25%, 75% of the
shares being sold. See Instruction 1 to Item 504 of Regulation S-K.
Financial Statements, page FS-1
7.Please update your registration statement to include audited financial statements for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 to comply with Rule 8-08(b) of Regulation S-X.
