Looking for Opportunities

Modern Exploration Inc. is always looking for prospects to drill. If your company has a prospect that looks promising to you, please do not hesitate to give us a call. If possible we would like to be the operator of the prospect; however we are not the operators on all our wells.

Modern Exploration, Inc. has a spectacular reputation. Landowners that we purchase leases from know that we purchase that lease to drill a well upon, and not to resale that lease to make a profit. When we purchase a lease, we intend to drill a well or a series of wells upon that lease. Modern Exploration, Inc. has an excellent reputation with our royalty owners. If a difficulty occurs, we correct the challenge immediately. We know that if we correct issues between field or office personnel and landowners immediately we will be ahead of most of our competition.

For more information concerning Modern Exploration, Inc., or to submit a drilling prospect, please contact the corporate office at 4900 Texoma Pkwy, Sherman, Texas 75090. Alternatively, call (903) 893-1129.
