It has been around since 1975 when it was originally incorporated under the name "Leland Petroleum, Inc." as a Texas corporation.

History
Established in 1976.
Actively involved in Oil and Gas since 1976, we are focused on development, ownership and sale of energy resources. With that being said, this company has had both successes and failures. Investments in this line of business come with risk, but great tax advantages; some past Partners have lost capital and some have made up to 30% returns in 3 months. Every project is different and past performance is not indicative of future results. Leland has been involved in many different states such as, but not limited to, CA, TN, CO, VA, OK, KY, WV. Without question, we need to develop our oil and natural gas resources here at home. Not only is this crucial in moving us towards energy independence, domestic production of oil and natural gas creates Americans jobs! The oil and gas industry contributes to OUR economy, from producing to refining, from processing to transportation, and from storage all the way to distribution and retailing.
