Top Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Companies

Oil and gas exploration and production, the upstream end of the industry, covers finding hydrocarbons, drilling and completing wells, and producing them safely until a field is plugged and abandoned. Beyond the operators themselves, it relies on firms that provide contract operations, reservoir and production engineering, drilling management, production equipment, vapor recovery and emissions control. Operators, mineral and royalty owners, investors and private equity backed producers hire them to run assets, boost output or cut emissions.

To compare upstream companies, look at experience in your basin, safety and regulatory record, and the engineering depth behind their recommendations.

Buyer's guide

Hiring Oil and Gas Exploration and Production companies

What the work covers, how to judge a partner and what drives the price.

What oil and gas E&P service firms do

Exploration work includes geological and geophysical studies, seismic interpretation, prospect evaluation and land and lease support. Drilling and completion management covers well design, rig and service contractor supervision and completion design. Production work spans contract operating of wells and facilities, artificial lift design, production optimization, workovers, water handling and regulatory reporting.

Equipment and facility firms supply separators, compressors, vapor recovery units and processing packages that capture gas otherwise vented or flared. Engineering firms handle reserves reports, field development plans and acquisition due diligence. Engagements range from a single study or equipment package to long-term operating agreements for a portfolio of wells.

FAQ

Oil and Gas Exploration and Production FAQs

Short answers to what buyers ask before hiring a Oil and Gas Exploration and Production company.

Question not covered? Ask our team

Oil and gas exploration and production companies find, drill, complete and produce oil and gas wells until they are plugged. Service firms in the sector supply contract operations, engineering, drilling management, production equipment and emissions control to operators and owners.

Oil and gas production services are priced per well per month for contract operating, by day rate or fixed fee for engineering, and by sale, rental or service contract for equipment. Well count, remoteness, volumes, emissions rules and facility condition drive cost.

Upstream oil and gas covers exploration, drilling and production at the well. Midstream covers gathering, processing, storage and pipeline transport of the oil and gas after it leaves the lease, and downstream covers refining and sales.

Oil and gas exploration and production firms on Edverise are listed in Dallas, Humble, Morgantown and Oklahoma City. Field service coverage near your wells matters more than headquarters location, so ask where crews and equipment are stationed.

Ask about experience in your basin, safety and regulatory records, contractor prequalification, the engineers who will do the work and field service coverage. For equipment, ask for uptime and emissions data, and for contract operations, ask for sample monthly reports.
