U.S. Energy Corp.

U.S. Energy Corp. is an independent energy company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of industrial gas, oil, and natural gas properties across the continental United States. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company's mission is to produce reliable and clean industrial gases, committed to growing its platform through internal project development, acquisitions, and partnerships.

The company's operations span the Rockies region, including Montana and Wyoming; the Mid-Continent region, comprising Oklahoma, North and East Texas; West Texas; South Texas; and the Gulf Coast regions. Key products and services include industrial gases such as helium, carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrogen, alongside oil and natural gas. U.S. Energy Corp. distinguishes its industrial gas production by extracting helium-rich gas from nitrogen and CO2-dominant reservoirs, aiming to reduce reliance on hydrocarbon production for these gases.

Led by President and CEO Ryan Lewis Smith, U.S. Energy Corp. is actively building an integrated energy and carbon management platform. The company recently reached a Final Investment Decision to construct its Big Sky Carbon Hub facility, targeting commercial operations in the first quarter of 2027. This initiative, alongside its wholly-owned Cut Bank oil field in Montana, is designed to generate three independent revenue streams: helium sales, Section 45Q-backed carbon management, and CO₂-enhanced oil recovery (EOR). U.S. Energy Corp. holds significant certified helium and CO₂ resources at its Kevin Dome project, positioning it at the intersection of critical industrial gas supply, domestic energy production, and federal energy policy.
