Mr. Sonny Wooley, Chairman of the Board of Directors, founded the Company in 1989 operating it as a private company until going public in 1996.

The Company is working to build their reserve base through proved developed producing (PDP) lease acquisitions with low risk development opportunities. Their production and development operations are in the Permian Basin in West Texas. They also own a fuel terminal operation in the Houston area. This terminal is fully leased and produces steady cash flow of $75,000 per month, which Company management is deploying to support the E&P business.
Adino Energy has acquired two leases in Coleman County, Texas. These consist of eight proved developed producing (PDP) wells (workovers in progress on three) and three saltwater disposal wells. The target pay zone is 10 to 12 feet of sandstone at approximately 1,200 feet which has been producing since the 1950s.
