Venado Oil & Gas, LLC

OUR MISSION

Venado Oil & Gas is a privately-held energy company focused on exploring and developing oil and natural gas properties. The company is committed to the development of both conventional and unconventional geologic formations of the Texas Gulf Coast with a specific focus on the Eagle Ford Shale formation. Venado utilizes the latest technology, while maintaining the highest level of professional standards.

Venado’s founding partners were formerly senior management at Pioneer Natural Resources and San Isidro Development. In December 2010, San Isidro Development successfully completed a divestiture of its Eagle Ford Shale assets to Chesapeake for $200 million. Following this transaction, Venado Oil & Gas, LLC was established on January 1, 2011 and located its headquarters west of Austin, Texas near Lake Travis.  The Venado management team’s core strengths include significant relationships, transaction experience, regional expertise and operating capabilities in South and West Texas based on a combined 100+ years of experience with companies such as Pioneer Natural Resources, San Isidro Development, Dan A. Hughes Company and Woodside. With the team’s operational track record and abilities, Venado is well positioned to execute the drilling, completion and production of extended reach horizontal wells through multi-stage fracture stimulation followed by timely hookup of oil and natural gas production to sales.
