Bufkin, III is founder, President and Manager of Bufkin Holdings LLC, which owns a family of companies, including Buffco Production Inc., Eagle Ford Minerals LLC, Twin Resources LLC, Black Shale Minerals LLC, Independent Drilling Company LLC, and other entities. Frank graduated from Stephen F. Austin University in 1980 with a Bachelor of science degree in agricultural business. He incorporated Buffco in 1981 and began work in oil and gas leasing and prospect generation. Buffco began acquiring oil, gas and mineral leases in 1985 in Oklahoma, where Frank still owns interest in legacy assets in the Red Fork oil formation. The success of Frank’s first prospect generated an ever-growing revenue stream that would lead to significant growth for Buffco. The first East Texas gas production was purchased in 1990, where Frank has continued to focus on developing East Texas Cotton Valley gas prospects through the bit. Mr. Bufkin, through Buffco Production, Inc. now operates over 400 oil and gas properties and has maintained an active, independent drilling program for over two decades. Twin Resources and IDC were formed in 2006, followed by BPI Compression in 2007 and Eagle Ford Minerals in 2010. One of Frank’s most notable successes includes the sub-leasing of 6,500 acres of Haynesville Shale acreage to Chesapeake in 2008, and the procurement of over 60,000 acre position in the Eagle Ford Shale play in 2009 —making Buffco one of the very few Independent oil and gas companies operating in the Eagle Ford Shale at that level.. Shortly after acquiring substantial acreage in several resource plays, Frank strategically shed some resource acreage to further diversify Buffco’s portfolio. Today, Mr. Bufkin has significant holdings in the Eagle Ford, Delaware, Anadarko - and the East Texas basins. Buffco, through Mr. Bufkin’s steadfast development and leadership, is poised for substantial growth over the coming years. BUFFCO Buffco Production, Inc. was established in 1981 by Frank M. Bufkin, III, and is a family owned, privately held operating company with a focus on domestic onshore oil and gas exploration and production. Mr. Bufkin started by purchasing marginal properties from major integrated producers and increasing the commercial life by performing work overs and reviving wells.
