History

Through four generations over the course of more than 80 years, the OBrien family name has been tied to successful and profitable oil and gas exploration in Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent regions. William Brien and his brothers laid the foundation for success when they moved to Shreveport, Louisiana, in the 1930s and partnered with B.B Jones to form Jones-Brien, Inc, an exploration and production company that quickly established a foothold and an enviable reputation for success in the prolific East Texas oilfield. Since then, the OBrien family has generated several major discoveries including South Lake Arthur Field, which came during William J. OBrien, Jr.s tenure. South Lake Arthur Field was the largest onshore natural gas discovery in Louisiana in the 1980s.
