About MOC

Building On A Legacy Of Excellence

Founded in 1965, Mewbourne Oil Company has grown into one of the largest and most active privately owned oil and gas companies in America.

Our unique business philosophy emphasizes sustainable, long-term growth, enabling us to focus on the next quarter century instead of the next quarter. We remain committed to our principles, ensuring that both our team and our prospects are guided by a disciplined, forward-thinking approach.

As the demand for affordable and reliable energy continues to grow, Mewbourne Oil Company is dedicated to responsibly meeting that need for generations to come.

Operations at Mewbourne

Although our headquarters are in Tyler, Texas, the majority of our employees operate out of one of our seven district offices, reflecting our decentralized business model. This 'boots on the ground' approach empowers our teams in the Permian and Anadarko basins to make more informed and effective decisions.




Permian Basin

Operations and Exploration in the Permian Basin are coordinated from our offices in Hobbs, NM and Midland, TX.

Anadarko Basin

Operations in the Anadarko Basin are coordinated from our offices in Perryton, TX and Woodward, OK, while Exploration is handled from Amarillo, TX and Oklahoma City, OK.

Corporate Office

Headquartered in Tyler, Texas, our corporate office houses key departments including Executive, Accounting, Administration, Human Resources, IT, Land Administration, Legal, Oil and Gas Marketing, and Corporate Planning.

Where Tradition Meets Innovation

The driving force behind Mewbourne Oil Company’s success is the exceptional talent and ingenuity of our people. As a leader in oil and gas exploration and production, our team is deeply committed to their craft, fostering a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture that constantly strives to improve.

The oil and gas industry is dynamic and demanding, yet it plays a crucial role in delivering affordable, responsible energy for the future. We take pride in our leadership, consistently leveraging resourcefulness and innovation to navigate the challenges of an ever-evolving industry.
