Texas-Based Oil & Gas Operations
Operator-led oil & gas projects for qualified participants
Led by President Jeff Schuckers, VP Operating brings family oilfield roots, hands-on operating experience, and direct owner-operator accountability to domestic energy projects.

We operate with discipline
What We Do
One operator from start to finish
From prospect review and mineral leasing to drilling coordination, production operations, and maintenance, VP Operating keeps the work under one experienced operating relationship.
Owner-Operator Accountability
VP Operating stays involved from project review through drilling, production operations, and maintenance.
One Company, Start to Finish
Participants deal with the operator directly instead of being passed between separate promoters, managers, and field contacts.
Field-Tested Judgment
President Jeff Schuckers brings oilfield roots and hands-on consulting experience across Oklahoma, Texas, South Louisiana, and Arkansas.

Contract Drilling
Contract drilling coordination for developmental and exploratory oil and gas projects, from planning through field execution.

Our Projects
The types of projects we operate
Development Wells
Development wells are drilled in proven producing areas, adjacent to existing production and within a known reservoir.
Re-Entry & Workover Projects
Re-entry projects involve returning to an existing wellbore — one that was previously drilled, and in some cases previously produced — to test new formations, deepen the well, or apply modern completion techniques to zones that were not previously stimulated.
Prospect Generation & Leasehold
Prospect generation involves identifying and leasing acreage where VP Operating believes a commercial quantity of hydrocarbons may be present, based on geological and geophysical evaluation, regional production data, and analogous field performance.
Mineral Rights Leasing
In addition to drilling projects, VP Operating assists mineral rights owners with the leasing process — helping them understand their rights, evaluate lease terms, and negotiate with operators.
How We Operate
“We are the operator participants deal with from start to finish: the same company reviewing the project, coordinating the work, and staying involved after production begins.”
