Crump Energy will acquire, exploit and develop oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin, where Lea Crump has experience.
Crump is president and chief executive of Crump Energy and has spent his entire career operating in the Permian Basin. Initially, he worked as an engineer with Gulf Oil and Amoco before forming Crump Petroleum Corp. in 1983 and subsequently partnering with Mike Black for more than 10 years through BC Operating Inc.
