A BRIEF HISTORY

Black Star Oil Company is a Texas corporation formed over ten years ago by Gary Carter, who serves as President of the corporation.  Carter has over 25 years of experience in the oil and gas business, primarily as a geologist/geophysicist, and, for the last 15 years, as drilling, completion and production engineer. He provides oversight for all phases of the operation of Black Star Oil Company.  Since receiving the B.S. in Geological Sciences from the University of Texas in Austin, with subsequent graduate coursework in the geosciences from the University of Houston, Carter worked for the larger independents, Williams Exploration Company and Transco Exploration Company, gaining experience in many basins of the United States.  Some of the areas worked are Texas, Lousiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Williston Basin of North and South Dakota, Montana and Canada. During Carter's time at Transco, he was involved with the company's efforts in the offshore Atlantic of the eastern seaboard of the United States, especially the Baltimore Canyon.  This experience involved performing geophysical modelling in a frontier area.

During those years and since, Carter has explored for and discovered several oil and gas fields for a number of smaller independents.  Black Star Oil Company's main activity has been located in Texas, where the company has drilled, completed, and discovered oil and gas wells.

Example of successful seismic exploration. A Mississippian reef exhibiting drape in overlying horizons.  This is one of our confirmation wells for the Blackstar (Mississipppian) Fields in Texas.  When drilling into the Reef, the bit fell a couple of  feet into vugular/cavernous porosity.

Black Star Oil Company continues to expand its expertise into the newer exploration technologies of today.  We are skilled in the identification of new and overlooked pays. Get in contact with us to discuss ways in which we can be of service.  We look forward to working with you.
