Meeting the Challenge

Santa Maria Energy is responsible for developing and producing a natural energy resource that is vitally important to the standard of living of all Americans. Alongside that responsibility comes an obligation to be good stewards of the Earth, in our community and for our company. Santa Maria Energy strives to achieve a healthy balance between the well-being of our neighbors, our employees, our investors and the environment.

We hire the most qualified people, use the best proven technologies, employ the safest and most environmentally sound practices and apply the highest ethical standards, all in an effort to achieve a sensible balance that reaches the highest ethical standards.

Recognized for superior stewardship of the land and successful ongoing compliance efforts, Santa Maria Energy received the Outstanding Lease Maintenance Award in both 2009 and 2010 from the California Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources. Our operations are continuously reviewed, inspected and graded by local, state and federal regulatory agencies. We are proud of the record we have built, adhering not only to the letter, but to the spirit of the laws and regulations governing the development and production of vital energy resources for our nation.

Santa Maria Energy is proud to share the economic benefits of our business by creating high paying jobs in the community. We also attract significant capital investments to the area and provide direct financial support to agencies, groups and organizations working together to make Santa Maria, Santa Barbara County and California a better place to live. We are able to provide these benefits while protecting air and water quality, as well as biological diversity.
