Our History

A legacy of success in Texas oil

Fostering expertise in exploration, operations and seismic technology for over 75 years.

Our Legacy

Decades of proven results

Dating back to the 1950’s when Gene Heape started his own E&P company, the Heape family has been exploring and drilling wells in some of the same countryside ever since. Under the watchful eye of 2nd generation CEO & geologist Scott Heape and his son Austin, the company continues to focus its efforts on finding the best acreage, producing economic wells, and excelling at returns to Investor-Partners.

Atoka Operating has some unique things to offer Investor-Partners, well beyond “just another energy deal”. Running a tight financial ship, de-risking through state-of-the-art technology, and expert geology are just a few of the things making Atoka one of the best performing independent E&P companies in the country. Experienced geology, multi-generational field history, de-risking technology, and prudent financial management are the hallmarks of Atoka Energy, and will be for generations to come.
