Evolution Petroleum (EPM) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Evolution Petroleum Corporation (NYSE American: EPM) is an independent oil and natural gas company focused on enhanced oil recovery (EOR) through the use of carbon dioxide. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company specializes in acquiring and developing mature hydrocarbon reservoirs that benefit from CO₂ injection to increase production efficiency. Evolution Petroleum’s business model combines property acquisition, reservoir engineering, and CO₂ management to optimize recovery of oil and associated gas.

The company’s primary asset is the Jackson Dome CO₂ field in southwestern Mississippi, where natural carbon dioxide is produced, separated and reinjected into adjacent oil-bearing formations. Through this integrated approach, Evolution Petroleum supplies CO₂ to offset reservoir pressure declines, enhances oil displacement, and boosts overall field deliverability. In addition to its Mississippi operations, the company holds interests in select onshore U.S. properties with similar EOR potential, focusing on stable, long‐life production profiles.

Evolution Petroleum leverages technical partnerships and third‐party CO₂ transportation agreements to support its project development and field operations. By concentrating on late‐life fields, the company aims to extend production reserves and reduce per‐unit extraction costs. Its strategic emphasis on carbon‐driven EOR aligns with broader industry efforts to add value to mature assets while managing greenhouse gases inherent in fossil fuel production.
