Dyke Hicks joined Kiefner in 2015 after over six years with Koch
Pipeline LLC and 13 years with Baker Hughes. His career began
working in the energy sector recording and interpreting information
from oil and gas wells on land and offshore. He then moved into
the field of pipeline integrity helping to develop a new inspection
system for difficult pipelines. Hicks was involved in tool design, data
interpretation and the managing the U.S. operations of this division.
He then moved to Koch Pipeline LLC, and worked within the integrity
group. There, he managed the daily integrity operations and focused
on some of the more challenging problems pipeline operators face. He
also took a field assignment to help develop project managers. Hicks
is a member of ASME. He earned his BS in electrical engineering from
Iowa State University and his BS in mathematics/economics from the
University of Iowa. He has authored several papers regarding pipeline
integrity.
