EagleRidge Energy

Based in Dallas, Texas, EagleRidge Energy operates in the Barnett Shale of North Texas to explore and produce onshore natural gas properties across 22 counties. Managing an area of more than 240,000 gross acres, the company currently operates more than 1,400 wells. In recognition of its commitment to developing natural resources in an environmentally conscious way, EagleRidge Energy holds a 0.0 rating with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the highest rating possible.

To further mitigate environmental impact, the company works to plug up to 50 abandoned wells each year, reducing the surface footprint in the community by 15 percent. Over the next several years, the company aims to reduce its surface footprint by 32 percent. Along with environmental protection, the company prioritizes safety and productivity for employees.

EagleRidge operates under the leadership of chief executive officer Michael Ronca, who founded an oil and gas division of Tenneco Inc. and has held chairman roles with several private companies.
