BNPD We've definately got the right man for the job with Gouger, not much this man hasn't done in the oil business. Finding wells and negotiating new leases is what he cut his teeth on 30+ years ago...
Mr. Tom M. Gouger III was hired by his family’s company, McCarrick, Gouger, and Mitchell in 1975 to obtain leases and drilling contracts, clear titles, and build surface locations during the first Austin Chalk boom of the Pearsall area. From 1975-1995 he learned all aspects of drilling and accumulated a vast knowledge of all operations as the company drilled over 25 operated wells and an additional 40 non-operated wells in the Austin Chalk and Gulf Coast region. They also participated in over 40 wells as a non-operating working interest owner in Wyoming, Oklahoma and Kansas.
Mr. Gouger purchased 6 of his own wells in 1985 and started Gouger Oil Company. In 1995 Mr. Gouger started Tejones Operating Corp. and purchased 125 wells in Howard, Glasscock, and Crockett Counties, Texas. He sold all of these except for the 25 wells in Crockett County in 2004. Mr. Gouger and his son, Tom M. Gouger IV also established Oilfield Cementing Company in 2001 with the main focus of plugging orphan wells for the Railroad Commission of Texas and Independent Operators. From 2004 to 2007 they plugged more than 500 wells with depths ranging from 400 to 8,000 feet. They closed down the company in 2007 and refocused efforts on the purchasing of production and the generation and selling of oil and gas prospects in south Texas.
Mr. Gouger has currently obtained a number of prospects in South Texas that are ready to drill, or are in the process of obtaining leases on their land. Mr. Hal Basham, a geologist, joined the company in 2008 to assist Mr. Gouger with the selling and geological review of prospects so that Mr. Gouger has more time to handle daily operations of the company.
We all have a duty to be bold, to be brave, to strive to live our best life...and to help others along the way do the same!
