Regional Map

Basin since the beginning of Illinois’s petroleum production, and is one of the oldest production companies in the state. Our experience and success have resulted in considerable growth and confidence in our firm’s abilities.

Murvin Oil Company was founded in 1947 by John B. Murvin, and has been family owned and operated ever since. The company takes great pride in its recognized achievements and the reputation for setting the standard in the field. Both local and state agencies regularly ask for our counsel and service in all aspects of our business.

As president and owner I have adopted company policies which have consistently led to continued growth and profitability through utilization of the expertise provided by our seasoned personnel. The diversity and experience of our staff has provided the catalyst to not only meet, but take advantage of the opportunities provided by the continuing changes encountered by the independent oil and gas industry. My business approach to the oil and gas industry has always been conservative, taking into account time-proven methods blended with the most recent advances in science and technology in directing the company’s activities.

Murvin Oil Company drills approximately 10 wells a year. The flexibility provided by strong operations in Illinois and good relationships with other businesses, as well as land owners has permitted our annual drilling program to enjoy continued success. Our staff and equipment permits us to directly control all facets of our business from originating a prospect through completion, equipping, and operating, thereby maximizing our investment. A working relationship with several major oil and gas companies has benefitted our company through profitable periods and the sharing of information and technology.

We feel the strong independent oil and gas producer will continue to play an important role in the development of our country’s oil and gas reserves. Our prospects for continued growth are excellent and I am confident of the ability of our company to meet all future challenges and opportunities.


Gregg C. Gibson
President
