About Us

Hornet Corporation is an established oil and gas exploration and production company primarily operating within the Appalachian Basin, with strategic locations across Tennessee and Kentucky. For over 25 years, our team has successfully navigated the complexities and fluctuations inherent in commodity-based energy markets, consistently overcoming economic challenges, pandemics, and natural disasters. While many private-sector companies have come and gone, Hornet Corporation remains steadfast, driven by a clear vision and guided by experienced leadership dedicated to responsible energy practices.

​

Our operations continue a legacy in the Appalachian Basin, the same region where legendary oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller built Standard Oil and revolutionized the petroleum industry. This historic basin has been pivotal to American energy, with early contributions by pioneers such as Rockefeller, Henry Flagler, and influential companies including Marathon Petroleum and Quaker State.

​

Hornet Corporation’s vertically integrated operational structure enhances efficiency and helps keep production costs low, allowing our oil wells to remain economically viable even during periods of depressed market conditions, such as when oil prices have approached $30 per barrel.

As a BBB A+ Accredited business and proud recipient of the Boom Maker Award, Hornet Corporation maintains an unwavering commitment to operational excellence and integrity. Our C-suite executives have mud on their boots, actively engaging in field operations alongside their duties in the office. We emphasize transparency, environmental responsibility, and clear communication, continually seeking partnerships with accredited investors who share our principles and dedication to sustainable oil and gas development in Tennessee, Kentucky, and beyond.
