Cholla Petroleum

Exploring for 

energy abundance.

Cholla Petroleum pursues energy abundance through the exploration and development of oil and gas resources.

Our Strategy

A strategy for
generating value.

Cholla Petroleum develops prospects with the potential to benefit stakeholders and communities alike.

Bring your ideas—and your expertise. Together, we’ll establish viability, define your infrastructure needs, and set milestones. And then, drawing from more than 50 years of multi-basin operational experience, we’ll apply the right tools and technologies to help ensure a successful project.

Our Expertise

How Cholla Helps

  • Apply horizontal drilling in reservoirs with vertical production or DST shows
  • Re-examine under-explored basins with known resource presence
  • Leverage 3D to better define complex areas with known hydrocarbons
  • Apply newer techniques to under-performing reservoirs based on analogous properties
  • Partner with outside geologists, engineers, and operators who possess local knowledge who want their prospects pursued and tested

In addition, Cholla Petroleum will acquire PDP assets that involve any of these strategies, with a preference for creating value through the drill bit.

Land Owners

Cholla Petroleum is committed to operating with high standards. Our solid track record has led many to sign leases with us because we work with landowners to ensure the integrity of the land and water around our drill sites. If you ever have any questions or concerns about a well on your property please contact us. We cannot be everywhere and appreciate being notified quickly of any problems so that we can address them in a timely manner. Get in touch.

Mineral Owners

Every month Cholla sends out thousands of checks to big and small mineral owners alike. We strive to work with owners and ensure that they receive their checks in a timely manner. If you ever have any questions or concerns about your check please contact us. We realize some of the paperwork can be complicated and we are willing to help anyone with questions.
