OUR OPERATIONS

Experienced, Flexible, & Partnership-Driven Operations

U.S. Energy leverages a deeply experienced technical team to identify, develop, and optimize oil and gas assets across prolific U.S. basins. Our operated platform is enhanced by strategic non-operated partnerships with leading operators, providing access to proprietary subsurface and operational data that strengthens underwriting, development planning, and ongoing performance optimization.

We evaluate and participate in both unconventional and conventional opportunities across the lower 48, with a strategic focus on the Permian Basin.
