About DARRAH OIL
Darrah Oil Company is a third-generation, privately held, independent energy company. From our first well drilled in 1948 we have grown into energy experts with diverse knowledge of geology and operations across multiple basins.
We are driven to provide life improving energy. Our primary focus is hydrocarbon production and CO2 storage.
Description of Services
Vision
A world where everyone has access to life improving energy.
Abundant energy creates geo-stability, reliable food supply, increases lifespans, improves living conditions, provides access to information, and allows mankind to thrive. We work to make that future a reality.
Mission
Provide energy at the highest return for both end user and producer.
The lower the cost of energy the greater the advancement of mankind, and the full lifecycle cost must consider; financial, environmental and over all benefit received.
Energy is the most precious of all commodities. When energy is too cheap it encourages waste and when it is too expensive it creates stagnation. We help balance that market by being both a provider in times of shortage as well as lowering all costs through innovation.

II. Carbon Capture and Storage
Darrah Oil has an advanced knowledge base in storing CO2. This combined with its operational expertise puts it in a unique position to soon be the leader in this fast growing industry.
How we will capture & store carbon:
Enhanced Oil Recovery (Class II)
Using Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) we can increase the oil production of depleted fields while also safely storing CO2.
Step #1
Locate Oil Well
Find an almost entirely depleted oil well in close proximity to a CO2 producer.
Step #2
Inject CO2 into well
Inject the CO2 produced nearby into the oil reservoir via a CO2 injection well.
Step #3
Additional Oil Recovery
The injected CO2 pushes the oil closer to the wellhead, yielding more oil while in-turn safely storing CO2.
Why Class II CO2 Injection?
In Kansas, the state can issue Class II injection permits, typically processed within 1-2 months. In contrast, Class VI permits, exclusively granted by the EPA, require a significantly longer period, often spanning 2-3 years. Prioritizing Class II permits will enable a swifter expansion of our operations.
III. Alaska Leasehold
Darrah Oil, acting as Arctic Circle Exploration (ACE), is a lead partner in a state owned lease position on the North Slope of Alaska. Darrah Oil has gained substantial experience operating in the North Slope; having drilled numerous exploratory wells.
Despite some decline over the past few decades, the North Slope of Alaska still has immense reserves of oil which have yet to be drilled.
Why our location?
Our leasehold location is strategically positioned near key infrastructure and over bountiful hydrocarbon reserves.
- Proximity to the Dalton Highway
Our leases' proximity to the Dalton Highway will allow us to utilize existing public infrastructure.
- Proximity to Prudue Bay
Our leases are strategically positioned nearby Prudue Bay and its infrastructure.
- Proximity to crude pipeline
Our leases are adjacent to the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline, allowing for easy transportation.
- Turbidites
We have discovered two turbidites within the boundaries of our leases.
