Mr. Hewett’s family has been involved in the oil and gas industry for more than 60 years. As a young man, Mr. Hewett acquired his oil and gas education through the mentorship of his father, who’s started his oil and gas career as a Senior Gas Analyst for Tennessee Gas Transmission, later known as Tenneco. His father’s forty-year career involved traveling the globe extensively and representing the interests of numerous major oil and gas entities. Mr. Hewett’s older brother began his career in the oil and gas industry in the 1960’s as a Regional Sales Manager for Jefferson Chemical Company, which was ultimately acquired by Texaco. This brother later formed Coastal Chemical Company, an oilfield chemical supply company specializing in the manufacture of down hole chemicals.

Mr. Hewett officially began his career in oil and gas as a Senior Account Executive for Major Oil Company, a Houston-based driller/operator.

Combining the knowledge he gained from his father and brother, his experience at Major Oil and his own business management, Mr. Hewett founded J&H Oil Company in 1981.

Over a period of less than two years, Mr. Hewett was directly responsible for the acquisition, continued operation, and subsequent sale of two retail businesses. While at Omni, he also successfully negotiated the acquisition of several municipal cable television franchises, later driving the sale of them to a large cable television company.

In 1989, Mr. Hewett founded Hew-Tex Oil & Gas Corporation in Houston, Texas. Shortly thereafter, he invited his father, Harold James Hewett II, to join him as Secretary and Treasurer. Together, they began to selectively purchase and develop oil and gas properties. This development has continued for the last twenty years, while Mr. Hewett’s leadership has evolved the firm into a well-respected oil and gas production company.
