Evolution Petroleum (EPM) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Evolution Petroleum Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:EPM) is an independent oil and gas company focused on acquiring, developing and producing petroleum and natural gas assets in the United States. Through a strategy centered on high-margin, mature fields, the company targets properties where enhanced recovery techniques can unlock remaining reserves, offering stable production and cash flow potential.

The company’s principal activities revolve around carbon dioxide (CO₂) enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. Evolution Petroleum holds working interests in multiple residual oil zone projects across key U.S. basins—most notably in Texas’s Permian Basin and other onshore regions.

Evolution Petroleum was formed to capitalize on advanced EOR methodologies and has grown its asset base through targeted acquisitions and joint-venture partnerships. Its leadership team comprises professionals with deep technical and engineering backgrounds in reservoir management and well optimization. Headquartered in Texas, the company maintains close operational oversight of its projects and collaborates with local and regional service providers to execute drilling, completion and CO₂ injection programs.
