What DJR Energy does

DJR Energy, LLC is a private upstream oil and gas operator headquartered at 1700 Lincoln St., Suite 2800 in Denver, Colorado, focused exclusively on hydrocarbon production in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico. The company was founded in 2017 and has built what it describes as the premier operated position in the basin, producing from shallow Cretaceous coals, tight sands, and Late Cretaceous Mancos or "Gallup" sands using horizontal drilling and completion technology. Average daily production is reported at 11,700 BOE (barrels of oil equivalent) per day.

The company generates revenue through the sale of crude oil and natural gas to downstream refiners, midstream pipeline operators, natural gas processors, and energy marketing companies. Distribution is regional and conducted through direct sales relationships rather than formalized contracted pricing; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is presumably negotiated at prevailing commodity market rates. The company employs between 11 and 50 people, indicating a lean organizational structure relative to its production scale.

DJR Energy distinguishes itself on three axes: (1) it claims to be the only carbon neutral operator in the San Juan Basin, supporting an ESG positioning; (2) it emphasizes low-cost production efficiency and a strong safety track record as operational differentiators; and (3) it has secured strong financial partnerships — including a 2017 round involving Trilantic North America and Waveland Venture Partners — to capitalize its drilling programs and acreage position. The company operates as a single business unit and does not disclose customer identities, financial results, or detailed cap table information.
