I am in search of a contract operator to operate some of my wells in East Texas, does anyone have a reputable and reliant company they recommend?

I know some folks at Vernon Faulconer. They might be a good one to reach out to.

Could reach out to Michele Martin with Auburn Energy. I know Michele from her previous employment, don't know anything about Auburn.

Ironically my partner's father in law is good friends with Grant and I failed to make that connection. I will reach out to them today.

After looking at Auburn's website it seems like this is something specialize in. I appreciate the heads up with them.

Has anyone dealt with non-op'ing their wells? I am struggling whether to go ahead and operate them myself or just contracting it out.

Pumpers/services are already in place so I don't need much other than utilizing someone's insurance, P&A bond requirement and potentially local workover contacts when the time comes.

Anyone ever been faced with this thing before? Obviously trying to keep expenses down to maximize my return but just dont know which route to go.

That's a name I haven't heard in a while. My dad was a contract pumper for VF for years back in the 80-90s.

How much production / well count are you talking about?

Currently producing a bit over 8bbl/day and a total of 4 wells.
