A FAMILY OWNED PRIVATELY HELD COMPANY SINCE 1981.

Buffco is continuously engaged in drilling and operations through a number of conventional and unconventional plays across numerous states. With such a broad geographical range of operations, Buffco employs a number of different drilling and completion techniques, giving us a competitive edge when working a new prospect.  Buffco Production, Inc., incorporated in 1981, is an East Texas exploration and production company operating over 400 wells in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. Buffco also owns no-op interest in more than 1,300 wells across five states. Although Buffco’s inventory spans a vast area, Texas is our primary home with a large majority of our operated wells located in East Texas.  Frank Bufkin, III started Buffco Production by purchasing marginal properties from major integrated producers who were no longer able to manage them efficiently on their own. Through stimulation and secondary recovery efforts, the Buffco team maximized those marginal assets to become highly profitable oil and gas properties. In 2008, during the development of the Haynesville Shale, Buffco further utilized its East Texas oil properties with a term assignment of the deep rights, resulting in a wave of new operating capital. Buffco used the liquidity from the Haynesville trade to posture the company as an operator in the Eagle Ford Shale in 2011. In 2014, Buffco completed a second trade with Carrizo that helped further the company’s overall longevity. Buffco continues to be a well-balanced company — proven to thrive in any market condition by meticulously evaluating prospects and successfully forecasting new areas for operations
