P.O.&G. Resources

What P.O.&G. Resources does

P.O.&G. Resources (PO&G) is a privately held, Houston-based oil and gas company founded in 1999 by Steven Pfeifer that acquires and operates long-life, cash-generating US Lower 48 onshore reserves. The company manages interests in over 500 wells across 11 states (Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Indiana, North Dakota, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Utah) with total net production of approximately 3,500 barrels per day. PO&G's strategy is explicitly counter-cyclical: founded at the bottom of the 1999 energy down-cycle, the firm has historically acquired legacy fields divested by major operators (Shell, Mobil, Cities Service, Hunt Oil) at attractive valuations during industry troughs.

Revenue model

1. Oil and Gas Production: PO&G generates revenue through the production and sale of oil and gas from its portfolio of over 500 wells across Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Indiana, North Dakota, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Utah. Original growth was funded through reinvestment of internally generated cash flow.
2. Limited Partnership Funds: In 2016 and 2017, PO&G launched two separate funds to partner capital with outside investors for the acquisition of oil and gas properties. The company manages these funds to pursue long-life, cash-generating oil and gas property acquisitions.
