Juneau Oil & Gas, LLC (JOG) was formed to assemble and focus a world class team of professionals for the purpose of identifying and developing oil and gas exploration projects in the US. Areas of focus are the onshore Gulf Coast (Texas and Louisiana), the offshore Shelf, Gulf of America, and the North Slope, Alaska.
JOG has returned to the roots of the founding members' past success at an opportune and strategic time in the ever-evolving oil and gas industry. Throughout the careers of JOG's managerial and technical leadership, generating and drilling geophysical and geologically driven conventional prospects has proven lucrative, repeatable, and predictable within the reasonable risk profile of the industry and implementation of state of the art geophysical reprocessing and interpretations.
Current Projects
Onshore Gulf Coast - Highlander Project, St. Martin Parish, Louisiana
JOG and Brad Juneau as COO of HOGA, currently manages the Highlander Project on behalf of Highlander Oil & Gas Assets, LLC ("HOGA") , a company wholly owned by the Moncrief family in Fort Worth, Texas. The Highlander field is an ultra-deep Tuscaloosa natural gas field originally discovered in 2013/14 by McMoRan Oil & Gas by the Jeanerette #1. This well was brought online at ~50 Mmcf/d and produced ~115 Bcf before an underground mechanical failure in January 2023 resulted in that well being junked and abandoned. The Moncrief family was an original partner in that well, and since 2023 has acquired the interests of all working interest owners and is now the sole owner. In 2024, JOG commissioned a third-party company to conduct the first onshore full waveform inversion (FWI) reprocessing of existing 3D seismic over the Highlander area to enhance the structural image of this field area. In January 2025, HOGA spud the State of Louisiana (SL) - AO406 #1 well as a step out to the Ultra-deep Tuscaloosa reservoir. The well was safely and successfully drilled to a total depth of 30,862' in February 2026, on time (days/depth) and under budget. This Well extended the field limits and proved a natural gas resource of 5 Tcf. The SL-AO406 #1 is currently T&A pending a subsequent completion. The Moncrief family has engaged the investment banking firm of Stephens to secure strategic partners to fully develop this world-class gas field. This process is in progress.
Offshore Gulf of America
To support its ongoing project generation JOG licensed a large scale, contiguous offshore 3D seismic database covering ~12,000,000 acres in the Shelf area. In 2026 JOG entered into a strategic partnership with a third-party company to deploy state of the art FWI processing technology to identify and develop larger reserve size prospects not properly imaged by the conventional "off the shelf" data available. This work is in progress.
North slope, Alaska - West Harrison Bay (Honeymoon Project)
In December 2024, JOG participated in a State of Alaska lease sale and was the successful high bidder for ~50,000 acres of oil and gas leases in West Harrison Bay (WHB) with partners Montex AK, LLC (a Moncrief family company) and North Slope HB, LLC (an Armstrong Oil & Gas company). WHB is located due east of the NPR-A in the prolific Nanushuk trend, lying due north of Conoco's Willow field (~800 MMBO recoverable) and West of Santos's Pikka field (~2 - 4 BBO recoverable) that was discovered by Armstrong Oil & Gas in 2013. In early 2025, JOG commissioned a third-party company to conduct the first onshore Alaska full waveform inversion (FWI) reprocessing of existing 3D seismic over the WHB area to enhance the structural image of this area and identify the presence of AVO amplitudes. The data reprocessing resolved the extension of the clinoform structures with AVO amplitudes across our leasehold, indicating recoverable reserves of ~2BBO in WHB. IN August 2026 JOG and its partners entered into an agreement with Narwhal Exploration to combine our respective leaseholds (total of ~82,000 acres) to jointly explore and appraise. Operations are underway, with ~3 wells to be drilled by April 2027. JOG and its partners are currently seeking third-party partners for ~30% WI in the WHB Project.
