Lewis Energy Group
10101 Reunion Plaza , Suite 1000 , San Antonio, Texas, United States

Lewis Energy Group envisioned the Eagle Ford play for decades and relentlessly pursued the most advanced technology. We were the first company to drill in the Eagle Ford Shale. Today, Lewis Energy is the most aggressive Exploration and Production company in this exciting play.

Our founder, Rod Lewis was a wildcatter from the beginning. In 1982, Rod took out a loan and bought his first South Texas well for $13,000. The seller planned to plug the well, but Rod was determined to have it produce again, which it did.  Lewis Petro Properties was born.

Lewis Energy owns and operates over 1,600 wells on more than 450,000 acres, and employs over 1,000 team members in our South Texas back yard. We’re proud to be known as a good neighbor. Which means we take care of our royalty owners, as well as the land we drill on.

A DRILLING COMPANY ON THE RISE

In 1983, Rod’s parents pledged their ranch as collateral to help him borrow the money to drill his first well.  In 1988, Stan Jumper signed on as head geologist, and the company continued to grow and become what is now Lewis Energy Group.

FROM SOUTH TEXAS TO THE INTERNATIONAL SCENE

In 2001, Lewis Energy Group expanded its operations to Colombia, acquiring an interest in the Cara Cara block. In 2004, the company signed a Multiple Services Contract with PEMEX, becoming the first American company since 1938 to operate exploration and production wells in Mexico.

NATURAL GAS IS THE FUEL OF CHOICE, THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

After more than 150 years, the natural gas industry continues to grow. Deregulation and the demand for cleaner burning fuels have produced a tremendous world market for natural gas. The industry continues to create new technologies for recovering natural gas, as well as finding new ways for people to enjoy its advantages. Today, natural gas is clearly the world’s fuel of choice. More importantly, it is the future of clean energy here at home and around the world.

SOUTH TEXAS IS LEWIS ENERGY GROUP TERRITORY

Operating in this area for over 35 years, Lewis Energy is a leading producer of natural gas in South Texas. At present, Lewis Energy has major operations in the Edwards, Escondido, Olmos, Wilcox and Eagle Ford formations.  Historically, Lewis Energy has been a natural gas producer and recently we’ve added significant oil, condensate and NGL production to our portfolio.
