About Us

Named for Chairman Emeritus Hulen H. (Tobe) Pruitt, Hulen Operating Company was founded in 1994. Tobe began his career when drilling rigs were still constructed of wood, developing a lifelong reputation for hard work, competence, and integrity. It is our goal to live up to the mandate he left behind: to build on that reputation through every project we undertake. 

An exciting time to be a part of the oil and gas industry, Hulen Operating Company believes now is the time to be aggressive in its acquisition and development programs. Together with its affiliate companies, Hulen is dedicated to building and expanding its portfolio of drillable prospects thereby creating increased values for our investors.  As a growing dynamic company, Hulen is a size where growth of our natural gas reserves matters.   Our goal is to always improve the balance sheet with increased reserves, revenues and lower costs. 

Our principal focus is on exploratory and developmental drilling within the Mid-Continent region. We believe there is a wealth of opportunity in Oklahoma, specifically within lower-risk, medium-depth, multi-pay prospects. Our work ethic and local scale allow us to operate faster and more efficiently, adhering to our motto: "Around the clock, around the world. 

We are dedicated to safeguarding the environment and treating landowners with the utmost fairness. Beyond the field, Hulen is proud to support the next generation through initiatives like the Ellis Foundation, which has provided scholarships to over 60 Oklahoma students. We strive to leave every site in better condition than we found it, ensuring "Natural Gas for a cleaner tomorrow.
