About Us

Tidal Petroleum was formed in June 1990 to engage in the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of oil and gas reserves in Texas. Over the last 35 years, Tidal has been recognized as a top producer in several different counties in this region.

We have concentrated our activities on the Gulf Coast in South Texas, which is home to some of the most prolific reserves in the United States. Tidal Petroleum operates with a ZERO debt structure, incorporating low overhead, low operating expenses and a streamlined management organization and is able to readily adapt to changing conditions in the petroleum industry.

Our focus leans toward deeper drilling programs containing horizontal laterals in order to decrease the risk of dry holes and increase longevity of production life. 3-D seismic surveys and state of the art fracturing technology are some of the everyday tools utilized by Tidal.

To date, Tidal Petroleum has drilled over 210 wells spanning 27 counties in south Texas.  Through 2025 we have produced over 8 million barrels of oil and 14.7 billion cubic feet of gas, totaling 10.5 million BOE.  We have been focused  on exploration and production of Eagle Ford Shale since 2009 along with Austin Chalk starting in 2017.

We pride ourselves on personal attention and professionalism in dealing with our clients, contractors, land and mineral owners.  Our reputation has been impeccable over the last 35 years.  Tidal Petroleum sets itself apart from large corporate competitors by the relationships and open communication channels with its partners.

Our experienced management team, combined with innumerable contacts and consultants is 100% responsible for the research, exploration, completion and production processes in their entirety.  Tidal Petroleum has partnered with and operated for some of the largest company's in the state of Texas.  We have never packaged, promoted and flipped acreage in our company's history.  Our goal is to fully (and immediately) develop all acreage leased while preserving or improving the surface environment.  Tidal Petroleum's ability to turnkey a prospect from lease acquisition to production is a major asset.  Controlling all aspects of the oil and gas process along with zero debt, give us a huge advantage on our competitors.
