Certification Regarding Eligibility

To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.

The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are satisfied if
the following criteria are met:

(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 10, 2019, by a State Workforce Office on behalf
of workers of EnerVest Employee Services, LLC, a subsidiary of
EnerVest, Ltd., including on-site leased workers from Wood PLC,
Sonora, Texas, and EnerVest Employee Services, LLC, a subsidiary
of EnerVest, Ltd., Clintwood. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of oil and gas in raw form.

Workers of Sonora, Texas were previously certified eligible
to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance under petition no. TA-
W-92,426, which expired on February 9, 2019. Workers of Wood PLC
were not included.

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, workers' firm(s), and major
declining customers of the workers' firm(s).

Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm(s) have become
totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become totally
or partially separated.

Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of oil and gas in raw form at the EnerVest
Employee Services, LLC locations in Sonora, Texas and Clintwood,
Virginia have decreased.

Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles
produced by the EnerVest Employee Services, LLC locations in
Sonora, Texas and Clintwood, Virginia have increased.

Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at EnerVest
Employee Services, LLC in Sonora, Texas and Clintwood, Virginia.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of EnerVest Employee
Services, LLC, a subsidiary of EnerVest, Ltd., including on-site
leased workers from Wood PLC, Sonora, Texas and EnerVest Employee
Services, LLC, a subsidiary of EnerVest, Ltd., Clintwood,
Virginia, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of oil and gas in raw form, meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In
accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make
the following certification:

"All workers of EnerVest Employee Services, LLC, a
subsidiary of EnerVest, Ltd., Sonora, Texas (TA-W-95,271),
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after February 10, 2019, through two years from the date
of certification, and all workers in the group threatened
with total or partial separation from employment on the date
of certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended;

AND,

All workers of Wood PLC, working on-site at EnerVest Employee
Services, LLC, a subsidiary of EnerVest, Ltd., Sonora, Texas
(TA-W-95,271A) and EnerVest Employee Services, LLC, a
subsidiary of EnerVest, Ltd., Clintwood, Virginia (TA-W-
95,271B), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 10, 2018, through two years
from the date of certification, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from employment
on the date of certification through two years from the date
of certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."

Signed in Washington, D.C., this 13th day of May, 2021.
