Jeff Johnson
CEO / FOUNDER
Since 1988, the year Jeff entered the oil and gas industry, his passion has been building successfulindependent oil and gas companies. The last was Cano Petroleum in 2004.
Under Jeff’s leadership as Chairman and CEO, Cano’s oil production grew from four barrels of oil per day to approximately 2,000 barrels of oil per day, ultimately creating a $600,000,000 peak enterprise value in 2008. During Jeff’s tenure, Cano became a member of the Russell 3,000 as a NYSE/AMEX listed company. After guiding the company through the 2008/2009 financial crises, Jeff left in 2011 to spend more time with his family.
Jeff believes there is currently a generational opportunity to acquire oil assets. As Jeff puts it: “Due to the downturn within the oil industry I believe oil will be a great opportunity for timely investments, effectively being able to buy Madison/5th Avenue real estate at Newark New Jersey prices.”
