About Empire Petroleum

Empire Petroleum supplies oil and natural gas for energy needs in the US.

Products and Services

  • Crude oil: Main product, sold to third-party buyers; 92% of 2025 revenue.
  • Natural gas: 3% of 2025 revenue.
  • Natural gas liquids (NGLs): 5% of 2025 revenue.
  • Operated wells: Manages over 1,000 wells across five US states.
  • Non-operated interests: Invests in select drilling projects managed by others.

Growth and Expansion

  • Completed 13 wells in North Dakota’s Starbuck Drilling Program, with the final well beginning production in 2025.
  • Acquired remaining 40% of New Mexico assets from Energy Evolution in January 2026.
  • Completed return-to-production and facility upgrades in Texas during 2025.
  • Entered commodity hedging contracts in early 2026 to manage oil price risk.

What Makes Empire Petroleum Stand Out

Empire focuses on cost control and maximizing production from mature oil fields. The company targets assets with long production lives and low decline rates. Its operations span several US regions, reducing reliance on a single area.

Five Things You Need to Know

  • Revenue was $34.2 million in 2025, down 22.3% from 2024.
  • Oil sales made up 92% of 2025 revenue, with gas and NGLs at 8%.
  • Net loss was $72.1 million in 2025, compared to $16.2 million in 2024.
  • Operating cash flow was negative $3.9 million in 2025, down from $6.2 million in 2024.
  • Working capital was negative $16.2 million at December 31, 2025.

Bottom Line

Empire Petroleum has evolved through acquisitions and technical upgrades in mature oil fields. The company faces financial challenges but continues to adapt its operations and asset base.
