At Hornet Corporation, our strength is anchored in the dedication, expertise, and resilience of our exceptional team members and strategic industry partners. Guided by CEO G.A. Murrell, honored as the "Boom Maker" by the Tennessee Oil and Gas Association, our leadership reflects a deep commitment to operational integrity, innovation, and precision. Our executive team and field personnel alike embody the determination, work ethic, and hands-on experience that define Tennessee’s proud tradition of oilmen.
We remain devoted to maintaining high standards at every stage of our operations, from meticulous site selection and strategic leasing to careful drilling and responsible production. Our vertically integrated approach allows us to streamline operations, control costs, and enhance efficiency. This operational strategy helps Hornet Corporation maintain productivity and viability, even during periods of lower oil prices, such as when market conditions have approached $30 per barrel.
Our successes extend throughout strategic areas of Tennessee and Kentucky, with notable achievements including highly productive oil wells in the renowned Miller Mountain Oil Field and significant operations at the Ferguson Brothers Lease. These projects exemplify Hornet Corporation' consistent commitment to responsible oil and gas investing, sustainable resource management, and operational excellence.
We take pride in our reputation as a BBB A+ Accredited business and continuously uphold the values of transparency, accountability, and clear communication with accredited investors and partners. By fostering strong, enduring relationships, we actively support the long-standing tradition of energy development in the Appalachian Basin—a region historically pioneered by visionaries such as John D. Rockefeller, Henry Flagler, and industry-leading companies like Marathon Petroleum and Quaker State.
