WHERE WE OPERATE

Lucky Lad Energy Operates Conventional, Producing Oil and Gas Wells Along The Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast

Our Process

Our management team has experience implementing our process across multiple operators and operating areas

3

We strive to acquire producing or high potential assets at an attractive price. We have become a preferred partner with operators looking to divest their late life assets before they are marketed, allowing us to acquire for attractive prices while closing quickly to reduce the burden on operators.

12

After acquisition, the real work begins. We evaluate historic well production and previous wellwork to find opportunities to invest capital in workovers, uphole recompletes, and artificial lift installations to increase production and develop our reserves.

10

We maximize cash flow by optimizing our base production while maintaining safe and responsible operations. We utilize technology to increase production and reduce costs, allowing us to increase cash flow by focusing on what moves the needle. We utilize real time monitoring of our assets allows us to reduce troubleshooting time, recover production quickly, and give us earlier warning signs of safety or environmental issues. Maintaining safe and responsible operations is paramount and allows us to remain the preferred partner of operators looking to divest.

11

Being a responsible operator includes retiring assets at the end of their useful life. After optimizing production and reducing costs, we aim to divest the assets. When divesting is not the way forward, we focus on keeping wells producing and optimized as long as their are remaining reserves. After the reserves are depleted, we plug and abandon the wells and restore the land to its native state, working with landowners so they can enjoy their land for decades to come.
