Lewis Energy Group

Lewis Energy Group is a natural gas exploration and production company and the leader in South Texas natural gas production. Founded in 1983 by Rodney "Rod" Lewis, who began his career as a gauger in 1978, the privately-owned firm was built on a $13,000 loan and has operated for more than four decades. It has a reputation for being hard-working, nimble, and decisive.

The company operates more than 1,800 natural gas wells producing over a billion cubic feet of gas per day from South Texas, including acreage in Webb County and La Salle County, Texas. Its technical work spans natural gas exploration and production, drilling, Eagle Ford gas play development, and oil and gas field operations. A pioneer mentality runs through the record: Lewis drilled the first Eagle Ford targeted well in 2002 and the first Eagle Ford well in Mexico in 2010.

Operations extend beyond the United States. Through Lewis Energy Mexico, the company holds an international presence under a Public Works Contract with PEMEX signed in 2004, covering almost 100,000 acres. Across South Texas and Mexico, the business combines large-scale field operations with the decisiveness of a founder-led enterprise.
