Powder River Basin · Wyoming
We buy
the good rock.
Pluto Oil is a niche exploration and production company that acquires high-quality producing oil and gas assets in the Powder River Basin — Turner, Parkman, Sussex, Niobrara, Mowry, and Frontier — and runs them for cash.
The basin
One basin. Every bench.
The Powder River is one of the last stacked-pay unconventional oil basins in the Lower 48 that still trades at a discount to its geology. Thick, oil-charged reservoirs sitting under some of the emptiest ground in North America — and a producer base that has historically been fragmented, under-capitalised, and ready to sell.

Approach
Reviewed by experienced petroleum engineers.
Every asset that comes across our desk is worked up by a group of experienced petroleum engineers — the same people who have spent their careers on PRB rock. Type curves, spacing, EURs, and LOE, done in-house, done properly.
Company
Named for the god of the underworld — and of wealth.
Pluto derives from the Greek ploutos: wealth. It’s what the Romans called the ruler of everything beneath the surface — the same place we go for oil and gas.
Pluto Oil is built around a simple thesis: the Powder River Basin is the highest-quality unconventional oil rock in the Lower 48 that still has a fragmented producer base, and a disciplined buyer with real engineering and real capital can build a durable business one acquisition at a time.
