The company explores both new and established locations. It then sells what is extracted to pipeline companies and oil and gas refineries, which distributes the resources to consumers. Investments in state-of-the-art technology and the pursuit of industry-leading management practices enable the company to generate excellent yearly returns of 15 to 40 percent. The company’s efficient operations represent a boon for investors, consumers, and the U.S. economy at large. Increases in domestic energy production have greatly reduced U.S. dependence on foreign sources of energy, contributing to national security and economic growth. The company’s projects also provide tremendous benefits for the communities where they are located, generating jobs and income and fueling spending at sites throughout Texas and neighboring states.

Invisible Children's Defection Fliers

Leveraging their years of experience in oil and gas exploration and extraction, Texas Energy Mutual, LLC operates projects in Texas and Oklahoma. Texas Energy Mutual, LLC emphasizes corporate responsibility in its business practice, and as such, has assisted a number of organizations working to achieve world peace, including Invisible Children. The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) is a rebel group of abducted soldiers in the Central African region. The leadership of the LRA rules through intimidation and fear, convincing LRA soldiers, many of whom are very young, that they cannot return home since they won’t be accepted. While many of these child soldiers are tired of war, they are unwilling to go home out of fear of rejection. Invisible Children distributes defection fliers by land and air to strategic locations, targeting LRA fighters. The fliers are emotional and practical messages encouraging soldiers to defect and showing them how to surrender safely. The fliers direct them to “Safe Reporting Sites” where they can be received by local authorities. The fliers also contain photos of former soldiers who surrendered and were reunited with their families. Since its inception, Invisible Children has distributed over 1.4 million fliers across the Central African Republic (CAR), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and South Sudan. The fliers have been printed in seven languages and in 24 different variations. Based in San Diego, California, and receiving feedback from personnel on the ground in CAR and the DRC, the organization reacts to developments in the affected regions, designing fliers with updated texts and showing recent escapees.

MSF Increases Aid in Flooded Myanmar to Prevent Spread of Dengue Fever

Using innovative exploration and extraction equipment, Texas Energy Mutual acquires and operates oil and natural gas projects in Texas and Oklahoma. Texas Energy Mutual also maintains a corporate social responsibility program that has assisted a number of organizations, including Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF). In a recent press release, MSF announced that it is increasing aid in Myanmar’s Sagaing Region and Rakhine State two weeks after destructive flooding impacted approximately 1 million people. MSF has been providing support for the government’s emergency response efforts, and an increase in aid will help meet current and preventative needs. In particular, MSF will focus on reducing the risk of water-borne and mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria and dengue fever, which could flourish in flooded communities. Dengue fever is endemic in the areas targeted by MSF, and statistics from the Ministry of Health indicate that a dengue outbreak previously affected 16,000 during the first half of 2015. To help prevent the spread of disease after the flooding, MSF will increase awareness about dengue prevention, train locals to fumigate likely breeding sites, and treat people who become infected. The organization will also provide 600 tests for rapid dengue diagnosis and distribute 13,000 mosquito nets.

Investors Continue Supporting Oil and Natural Gas Development

Headquartered in Grapevine, Texas, Texas Energy Mutual LLC focuses on obtaining and developing oil and gas properties with both established and undeveloped reserves. The experienced team at Texas Energy Mutual LLC has principally focused on oil and natural gas projects across Texas and Oklahoma. According to a recent article in The Oklahoman, investors have shown continued interest in funding oil and natural gas development despite slowed industry activity. The article cites a July 2015 survey from the Federal Reserve of Kansas City in which energy companies reported increased accessibility of private equity and decreased availability of bank financing. In the survey, more than 33 percent of energy companies reported greater availability of equity and bond financing. An economist and Oklahoma City Branch executive at the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank explains that financiers are confident that the oil industry will rebound and once again provide strong yields. While it’s unusual for companies to have access to more financing than anticipated, the financial industry expert notes that the funding is crucial to help energy firms weather the slowdown.

Oklahoma and the Oil Industry

Texas Energy Mutual, Inc., a successful oil-and-gas extraction business, also oversees a five-well drilling initiative based in Oklahoma. With the help of companies like Texas Energy Mutual, Oklahoma is enjoying an oil and natural gas boom, with more than 2,500 wells drilled and 4,000 drilling permits issued in 2013 alone. Compare those number to 2009, which had only about 2,100 such permits, according to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. New technologies like horizontal drilling have fueled Oklahoma’s natural resource economy. Such innovations allow engineers to design and install more productive wells. This in turn attracts investors, resulting in the kind of outside investment that lends strength to the state’s economy. In fact, the oil and gas sector ranks number one in terms of sources of tax revenue for Oklahoma’s government. For example, in 2012, the industry accounted for over 20 percent of Oklahoma’s collected taxes, amounting to nearly $2 billion. Moreover, tens of thousands of workers in Oklahoma rely on natural resource companies for employment.

Global Rally in Oil Demand and Increased Prices

Texas Energy Mutual is a respected Grapevine, Texas, oil and gas firm that is continually acquiring new leases in Oklahoma. In developing projects, Texas Energy Mutual takes pride in employing the latest exploration and extraction technologies. With the mainstream media currently forecasting oil price increases, the firm sees significant potential for its investments to grow in value in 2015. An April 2015 article in The Telegraph, “Oil is charting a course back to $100 per barrel,” takes a look at a recent oil price rally that has increased the price to $63 per barrel from a January low of less than $50. A key factor in this rally is that crude oil demand is starting to rebound, after developed markets that benefitted from an extended period of low prices have started to dip into surplus inventory. According to a conservative OPEC estimate, oil demand should grow by 1.7 million barrels per day through the end of 2015. This would more than erase the current surplus of 1.5 million barrels per day and will likely raise prices to more than $100 per barrel. Another factor driving increased prices is instability in the Middle East, which accounts for one-fifth of the global oil supply.

Major Oklahoma Oil Well Discovery at Manning # 2

Focused primarily on the Oklahoma market, Texas Energy Mutual (TEM) utilizes leading edge extraction and exploration equipment in developing natural gas and oil wells. On its website, www.texasenergymutual.com, Texas Energy Mutual features recent oil discoveries in Oklahoma where they currently manage a 14-well program and are about to embark on a new 5-well program called the Thunderhead Prospect. As part of their drilling and exploration programs in Oklahoma, Texas Energy Mutual is excited about the possibilities with the new Thunderhead Prospect 5-well Drilling program. With recent successes, such as the Manning # 2 well of their 14-well program, petroleum engineers encountered oil attempting to flow during the actual drilling process, with the drilling pits covered in live oil. This unusual occurrence indicates that a significant formation of oil likely exists down-hole, with sought after porosity, pressure, and permeability attributes. While sustained production levels are not calculable until the well has been producing for several months, initial estimates are that flow rates could exceed 125 barrels per day.
