About HG Energy

HG Energy, LLC is a West Virginia corporation with the headquarter office located in Parkersburg, West Virginia. The Company maintains field operations primarily in West Virginia.

HG Energy is a privately held company established on January 1, 2011. HG Energy’s assets have a rich history in the development and production of oil and gas in the Appalachian Basin.

Strategic acquisitions in the Appalachian Basin have expanded HG Energy’s areas of operation and we continuously evaluate and search for growth opportunities.

Oil recovery through Waterflooding.

Waterflooding is a process where water is injected into depleted or partially depleted reservoirs to enhance the oil production and extend the life of the field. The water from the injection wells pressures the reservoir and sweeps the oil towards the producing wells. After a field is depleted under primary production approximately 60 to 70 percent of the oil originally in place in the reservoir is still in that reservoir. Waterflooding, if successful, can recover as much oil as was originally recovered during primary production. Water is produced with the oil as part of this process and is reinjected into the reservoir.

HG Energy operates two full scale secondary oil recovery waterfloods in West Virginia. These are long term projects. This process can take several years from the start of injection until any result at the producing wells is seen. HG is the only operator in West Virginia that is currently developing additional acreage for waterflooding.

HG Energy moves its natural gas to market in West Virginia through multiple gas gathering systems it operates in its producing areas.

The pipeline systems connect to several of the major interstate and intrastate pipeline systems. The systems are comprised of approximately 200 miles of pipeline, both steel and plastic, that range in size up to 24 inches in diameter and operate at varying pressures depending on location.
