About Pecan Tree Oil & Gas, LLC
Pecan Tree was founded as Limited Liability Company in January 2020 (registered Texas Engineering Firm F-21124) to bridge the gap between mineral owners and the confusing, high-dollar world that is oil and gas.
After being on the operator side for over a decade, Tracy witnessed firsthand how mineral owners rarely can afford the same data, experts, or software to be on a level playing field with the operators and buyers, yet have MORE at stake when deciding what to do with their minerals.
Pecan Tree’s focus and efficiency make these resources available without a hidden agenda. We don’t buy minerals, we don’t work with billion dollar companies, and we run our shop 100% debt free. This flexibility lets us be innovative with technology, maintain the highest of standards (work quality, customer service, and ethics), and tailor pricing and scope to each client’s specific needs.
