Welcome to G2 Petroleum
G2 Petroleum, LLC is a privately held oil & gas company whose main focus is development drilling of conventional vertical wells primarily in shallow oil sands of North Texas. The company was founded in 2008 by Cotton Graham who built this company to fulfill his goal of providing unwavering transparency to G2 Petroleum’s family of investors. Along with our sister company, Newport Operating, we have identified a niche market opportunity in Wichita County that has produced over 855 million barrels of oil to date. By drilling in a proven area, our drilling costs are much lower compared to unconventional or deeper, more expensive resource plays. Our geologist has worked this area for 40 years and his experience allows us to enhance our profitability by understanding the geology and history of the field. This knowledge guides us on where or where not to drill, resulting in our 95% success rate.
Our passion lies inside the hearts and minds of our people
Cotton Graham – Founder and President
Cotton began working in the oil & gas industry in 1994. He founded his first oil & gas development company in 2004 entering the market at $30 per barrel oil and sold his holdings near the top of the market at $75.
He founded G2 Petroleum, LLC in 2008. It provides venture capital (bringing to market retail oil deals) and consulting (aligned with our clients’ interests). The company initially invested in South Texas, North Dakota and Colorado. It is currently investing in North Texas. He built the company to fulfill his goal of providing unwavering transparency to G2 Petroleum’s family of investors. The byproduct of that commitment is our clear-cut, production driven approach to oil & gas development.
Cotton founded Newport Operating, LLC in 2015 initially to complement G2 Petroleum, LLC’s drilling projects. Newport Operating allows Cotton to retain control of all aspects of field drilling and operations and provides a transparency of costs to G2 Petroleum and its partners.
When not working, he enjoys spending time with his wife and partner of 18 years and their 5 children. He coaches his daughter’s basketball team and is involved with the city of McKinney’s Lacrosse program. The values he was taught growing up: God, Family, and Country are instilled into his parenting. Cotton is a Navy Veteran with 4 years of active service and his companies actively contribute to several non-profit organizations.
