Operating areas

Built to perform,
proven to last.

We concentrate where we can operate best: shallow-water Gulf Coast fields with long production histories, existing infrastructure, and room to improve recovery.

Core position Wharton / Jackson / Matagorda / Brazoria

Concentrated on purpose.

Four counties account for all of our operated production. That concentration is the advantage: one field team, one supply chain, and one set of standards across the position.

Outside the core four, we hold acreage and exploration inventory in ten additional Gulf Coast counties. Those positions are held for the next development cycle, not for a quick flip.

Wharton County

640 wells · 8 rigs

The center of the operated position and the 2026 development program. Wharton holds the largest well count, the most field staff, and the lease route that started the company in 2009.

Jackson County

320 wells · 3 rigs

A long-life oil and gas position with mature waterfloods and a strong workover inventory. Jackson crews run their own compression and SWD routes.

Matagorda County

180 wells · 2 rigs

Shallow coastal fields close to existing sales lines. The focus is artificial lift reliability and battery consolidation, not new drilling.

Brazoria County

100 wells · 1 rig

The newest core area and the smallest by well count. Brazoria is an infrastructure-led position with room to add wells on existing pads.
