Technology
Technical expertise and risk management at Tanos sets us apart from other operators in this region. Our technical staff is at the forefront of the industry in the application and utilization of state-of-the-art horizontal drilling, fracture stimulation, and completion technology. Our expertise and hands on experience provides us a unique competitive advantage to pursue opportunities that other companies either overlook or shelve as being uneconomic. This expertise has allowed us to drill and complete wells at lower costs with higher flow rates, and greater reserves. Our principals have an outstanding track record of success gained through utilization of technology, extensive experience and focus within the specific region where Tanos operates.

Since our inception, Tanos has demonstrated the ability to significantly lower drilling costs in deep, tight gas plays. Through detailed and comprehensive analyses of drilling fluid systems, drill bit technology and horizontal drilling alternatives prior to drilling a well, we have consistently been able to drill horizontal wells more efficiently. In addition to our own expertise, we’ve been successful in establishing strong alliances with service companies that further reduce our costs and provide access to the most current drilling and completion technology. Cost control is a key factor for success in the oil and gas industry today. Tanos places a strong emphasis on the management of projects and operations. Tanos works closely with landowners in a joint effort to be good stewards of the land and its resources.

Our business strategy allows us to maximize profits
while minimizing our environmental footprint.

• Explore for and acquire producing oil and gas reserves in tight reservoirs that benefit from horizontal drilling and optimized fracture stimulations.
  
  
• Acquire properties that possess significant unrealized reserve potential that can be developed through the latest horizontal drilling and multi-completion technologies.
  
  
• Closely manage risk exposure through constant portfolio management.
  
  
• Test probable reserve potential by drilling lower risk prospects and farming out higher risk prospects, as well as partnering with other oil and gas companies to form “drill to earn” joint ventures.
  
  
• Maintain the highest possible profit margins through operating practices clearly focused on unit production costs.
  
  
• Operate a significant portion of the company’s reserves.
  
  
• Minimize the environmental footprint of our operations by drilling horizontal wells which require substantially fewer surface locations to develop the same reserves.
  
  
• Stress safety in the working environment for both our employees and contractors.
