Responsible Reactivation of Proven Natural Gas Assets
Safari Production Company, Inc. is committed to developing South Texas natural gas in a way that is environmentally responsible, safety-focused, and aligned with robust governance and reporting practices.
The program is designed to reactivate known wells within an existing producing corridor, leveraging existing infrastructure where possible to reduce surface impact while maintaining strict regulatory and HSE compliance.
ESG Overview
The Safari program focuses on the reactivation of existing natural gas wells in a mature producing area, which inherently differs from frontier exploration and greenfield developments. The strategy emphasizes:
- Utilizing existing wellbores and infrastructure where feasible.
- Operating under established regulatory frameworks in South Texas.
- Maintaining rigorous HSE standards for personnel and contractors.
- Providing clear governance and reporting to investors and stakeholders.
While the primary objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns, Safari recognizes that long-term value creation depends on responsible stewardship of environmental, safety, and community considerations.
Additional detail on regulatory setup and operational practices is provided on the Operations & Facilities and Compliance pages, as well as in the investment memorandum.
Key ESG Pillars
- Environmental management and regulatory compliance.
- Health, safety, and workforce protection.
- Community and stakeholder engagement.
- Governance, transparency, and investor reporting.
ESG considerations are integrated into planning, execution, and ongoing operations, rather than treated as a parallel or optional workstream.
Environmental Management
The program is structured around reactivating existing wells on an established lease, which reduces the incremental surface footprint compared to new-drill projects. Safari’s environmental approach is built on compliance, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
- Operate in accordance with applicable state and federal environmental laws and regulations.
- Utilize existing locations, where practicable, to minimize additional land disturbance.
- Implement responsible fluid handling and waste management procedures with qualified vendors.
- Monitor and address potential emissions and leaks in line with regulatory requirements and best practices.
Detailed environmental procedures and documentation are made available to qualified counterparties via the Data Room and related compliance materials.
Environmental Focus Areas
- Protection of surface and groundwater resources.
- Responsible handling and disposal of produced fluids.
- Controls to minimize emissions and fugitive leaks.
- Reclamation and restoration in line with regulatory requirements.
Specific environmental programs and procedures are tailored to the field conditions and regulatory environment in South Texas.
Health, Safety, and Operational Stewardship
Health and safety are central to the execution of all workover and operations activities. Safari works with experienced contractors and service providers and requires adherence to established safety procedures.
- Pre-job planning, hazard identification, and safety briefings.
- Compliance with relevant safety standards and regulations.
- Incident reporting, investigation, and corrective actions when required.
- Ongoing training and reinforcement of field safety practices.
The program’s HSE expectations and incident management processes are aligned with typical industry practices for conventional oil and gas operations in the region.
HSE Execution Priorities
- Plan work to be performed safely, not just efficiently.
- Use contractors with proven track records in similar operations.
- Maintain clear lines of responsibility at the wellsite.
- Integrate HSE considerations into day-to-day decision making.
HSE documentation and policies can be made available as part of investor or counterparty due diligence.
Community and Stakeholder Considerations
The program is situated in a region with a long history of oil and gas activity. Safari recognizes the importance of maintaining constructive relationships with local landowners, service providers, and other stakeholders.
- Operate within existing lease frameworks and contractual obligations.
- Use local and regional service providers where practical.
- Respond to stakeholder inquiries in a timely and professional manner.
- Respect local regulations, norms, and land-use considerations.
Specific community programs, if any, are evaluated relative to project scale, economics, and stakeholder needs.
Stakeholder Engagement Approach
- Clear points of contact for landowners and local stakeholders.
- Commercial relationships with reputable local vendors.
- Documentation of key land and surface agreements.
- Alignment with regulatory and permitting stakeholders.
For further information on local engagement or operational footprint, prospective partners may contact Safari directly.
Governance, Reporting, and Investor Alignment
Governance is built around clear operating agreements, transparent economics, and a reporting framework that allows investors to track performance against plan. Safari retains Working Interest and operates the wells, aligning its economics with those of investors.
- Joint operating agreement and related documents define roles and obligations.
- Periodic reporting on production, costs, and key performance indicators.
- Structured approach to approvals for material deviations from plan.
- Integration of risk factors and compliance requirements into decision making.
Governance and reporting expectations should be evaluated alongside the Investment Terms, Risk Factors, and Tax Considerations pages.
Stewardship in Practice
- Document the program’s rights, obligations, and governance in formal agreements.
- Provide regular, structured reporting to investors.
- Review operational and ESG performance against expectations.
- Adjust plans responsibly as new information and data become available.
