HOUSTON, June 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Surge Energy US Holdings Company ("Surge Energy" or the "Company") announces it surpassed 100 million gross barrels of oil equivalent produced since the Company took over operatorship of the Moss Creek asset in 2016 and was listed in Houston Chronicle's Top Private Companies headquartered in Houston, TX as published on June 20, 2021.

"Surge is proud to celebrate this significant achievement of reaching 100 million gross barrels of oil equivalent in our very short six-year history as a company," stated Chief Executive Officer Linhua Guan. "This production has made a substantial economic impact in Texas as evidenced by over $1 billion dollars being distributed as royalty and tax payments."
