Business profile

Updated

SM Energy is an independent energy company that acquires, explores for, develops and produces crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, or NGLs. It sells that production to customers rather than operating as a refiner or retailer. The company was founded in 1908 and is headquartered in Denver.

Its work starts with acreage that may contain oil and gas. It uses geological and engineering information to identify locations, drills and completes wells, and produces hydrocarbons from them. Some natural gas can also be processed to extract NGLs. The company develops existing acreage and acquires assets to add locations for future drilling.
