Since 1988, the year Jeff entered the oil and gas industry, his passion has been building successful independent oil and gas companies. He currently serves as CEO of EPUS Global Energy, a company focused on SWD, and the last oil and gas company was Cano Petroleum started in 2004.
Under Jeff’s leadership as Chairman and CEO, Cano’s oil production grew from four barrels of oil per day to approximately 2,000 barrels of oil per day, ultimately creating a $600,000,000 peak enterprise value in 2008. During Jeff’s tenure, Cano became a member of the Russell 3,000 as a NYSE/AMEX listed company. After guiding the company through the 2008/2009 financial crises, Jeff left in 2011 to spend more time with his family.
Jeff believes there is currently a generational opportunity to acquire oil assets. As Jeff puts it: “As prices have risen we were still looking for an entry point into world class assets, by approaching the industry through Eagle Eye we found that entry point.”
Over the years Jeff has served with and been a member of numerous industry associations including:
NYSE/AMEX Listed Company Council
Independent Petroleum Association of America
Society of Petroleum Engineers
Texas Independent Producers and Royalty Owners Association
