About Treaty Energy Corporation

Treaty is engaged in the acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas.  Treaty acquires and develops oil and gas leases which have “proven but undeveloped reserves” at the time of acquisition... These properties are not strategic to large exploration-oriented oil and gas companies. This strategy allows Treaty to develop and produce oil and natural gas with tremendously decreased risk, cost and time involved in traditional exploration.  Treaty’s headquarters is located in Houston, Texas.  For more information go to: www.treatyenergy.com
