Oil & Gas Development
Delivering Value Through the Drill Bit
Our mission is clear: to maximize efficiency, minimize environmental impact, and deliver lasting value for landowners, investors, and stakeholders.
- Williams County and Divide County, North Dakota
WILLISTON BASIN
Phoenix Operating’s initial drilling efforts are centered in Williams County and Divide County, North Dakota. Utilizing 3-mile Bakken laterals, we aim to optimize operational efficiency while reducing surface disturbance.
Our Drilling Program officially launched in September 2023, a significant step in advancing energy production through innovative drilling practices in the region.
D-J Basin and
Powder River
Looking ahead, Phoenix Operating is preparing to develop acreage in Laramie County and Converse County, Wyoming. Drilling operations in these areas are anticipated to commence in the near future, with regular updates on progress provided as they become available.

- Days to total depth” (DTD or Days to TD) refers to the number of calendar days it takes to drill a well from the start of operations (spud date) to the point at which the well reaches its planned final depth
- Lateral length refers to the horizontal distance a wellbore extends within an oil or gas formation after drilling vertically to a targeted depth. Typical lateral lengths in modern unconventional drilling range from approximately 5,000 to 15,000 feet, enhancing reservoir contact and production efficiency.
