Shale Energy International is a privately held oil and gas production company based in New Orleans that explores, develops, acquires and operates oil and gas properties across multiple regions. The company's operating arm, SEI Operating, manages thousands of acres and millions of barrels of reserves primarily in the Permian Basin and South Texas, with additional operations in East Texas and Louisiana. Shale also runs a downstream division that purchases and sells aviation fuels, diesel and crude oil to buyers worldwide. The company would be a natural referral for businesses seeking oil and gas investment opportunities or partnerships in energy sector acquisitions and operations.
