Heritage.
Ambition.
Community.
An independent oil and gas company focused on acquiring, developing, and producing crude oil and natural gas, primarily in Texas and across various other states domestically.
Although the company is relatively new, founded in 2024, it was established by JB Yowell, the CEO, who brings over 20 years of experience as an exploration and production (E&P) operator and producer in the oil and gas industry. JB’s excitement and ambition for the growth of Texas State Oil are as big as Texas itself. The company takes pride in its Texas heritage, as Texas has been and continues to be a leading state in the production of crude oil and natural gas.
Our core initiative is to develop assets responsibly and sustainably, adhering to all regulatory requirements.

Instead, our business model now focuses on the strategic acquisition and development of proven undeveloped (PUD) reserves. This approach:
