Atlanta Exploration Company is a privately held, independent crude oil and natural gas exploration company headquartered in Magnolia, Arkansas.  Our experienced landmen provide a full range of land services, including lease brokerage services through our affiliate, Atlanta Oil Company.  Our President and founder, Alan Ribble, received his degree in Petroleum & Land Management from the University of Oklahoma, and started Atlanta Exploration Company in 1986. In 1988, as economic times changed, we began purchasing and extending production. Today, we are working interest owners in over 80 Arkansas wells,  minor interests in some 500 additional wells nationwide.  We are able to provide a full range of land services, combining in-house expertise with professional field experience, timeliness and accuracy.   We take pride in producing positive results for our clients, confidently taking projects from initiation to completion, and providing value at every step.  We would love to do the same for you.  Contact us today.

• The vast majority of our work has been in the Ark-La-Tex region, and our knowledge of heirship and family history is unparalleled.  Our existing relationships with mineral owners reduces costs for clients.
• We use up-to-date technology, local landmen, and over 25 years of experience and proven relationships to provide a distinct advantage for our clients.
• Our landmen and all our staff regularly receive continuing education and ongoing training and materials to ensure they are ready to meet the latest challenges in our ever-changing field.

The Community

We understand that the people who live and work near our operations, wells, and work sites are our neighbors.  We also understand that we have a responsibility to give back to the community.  Through our membership with Arkansas Independent Producers and Royalty Owners (AIPRO), we help sponsor such programs as Project Learning Tree Arkansas, which provides professional development workshops for Arkansass teachers about how to educate students about energy.

The Environment

Our affiliate companies are major timber and surface owners in South Arkansas.  As such, we understand that everything we do has an effect upon the environment and other businesses. We take great care to ensure that we keep the impact upon our surroundings to a minimum.  ​We work closely with the Arkansas Oil & Gas Commission (AOGC), Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to ensure that we are abiding by all applicable laws, rules & regulations.

Surface Owners

Because were surface owners ourselves, we know what it is like to have a well drilled and situated on our property.  And because a well may produce for 50 years or more, we recognize that our relationships with surface owners are critical.  We maintain open and honest communication with landowners in order to avoid disputes and maximize benefit to all parties involved.  We give our best effort to answer questions, and encourage surface owners to contact us at any time.
