Oil and gas · Houston, Texas

Incorporated 1983. Six states. Long-life reserves.

Pioneer Exploration, LLC is a privately held oil and gas producer based in Houston, Texas, operating wells in six states and a gas plant in Kansas. Our wells sit in mature fields with very low decline rates and long-life reserves.

About

Built by buying what the majors were selling.

Pioneer Exploration, LLC was incorporated in 1983 and began by purchasing major oil and gas properties from Sun, Exxon, Mobil, Chevron, Texaco and other oil and gas companies. It remains privately held.

Pioneer operates oil and gas wells in six states and a gas plant in Kansas. Those wells sit in well-known, mature fields with very low decline rates and long-life reserves — a position that rewards drilling, recompletion and acquisition rather than speculation.

Enquiries are read by people who can act on them. There is no portal to register for and no form that disappears into a queue.

How we work

We have held some of these interests for decades, which shapes how we treat a counterparty. You will be dealing with the office that makes the decision, and the answer will not change between one call and the next.

Leadership

The people who answer for it.

Younas Chaudhary

Younas Chaudhary

Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer

After working for six years as a welder, taxi driver, car salesman and other assorted roles, Younas responded to a newspaper advertisement in 1979 to broker oil and gas deals in Kansas on behalf of Canadian investors. He flipped those broker fees into producing wells, and the revenue from those wells into more wells again.

Work hard. Be consistent. Stay positive. And never give up. Younas credits his success to this set of simple but powerful life principles.
