📜 Project Details
The transfer covers two active permits under the Perry Ranch facilities:
- Permit 22163 – Perry Ranch Gas Plant
- Permit 154652 – Perry Ranch CS & CTB (Central Tank Battery)
Both permits were officially issued and completed on October 16, 2025, under the regulatory oversight of TCEQ Region 08 – San Angelo. The facilities are located approximately 6.5 miles east on I-10 and 4.5 miles south near Taylor, Texas Box R, within Crockett County.
🏢 New Operator: Scout Energy Management LLC
Scout Energy Management LLC (CN605147479) now holds operational control of the Perry Ranch facilities. Scout, headquartered in Dallas, specializes in acquiring and optimizing mature producing assets across Texas and Louisiana. The company’s track record of field revitalization aligns with its strategy to expand low-risk, cash-flowing operations in established basins.
⛽ Background: Chevron’s Eagle Ford Exit
This ownership change follows Chevron USA’s ongoing sale of its Eagle Ford assets, part of a portfolio-rationalization effort to focus on core operations in the Permian Basin, the Gulf of Mexico, and international LNG. The Perry Ranch Gas Plant transfer demonstrates continued market activity among mid-size independents like Scout, who are capitalizing on downstream opportunities as major operators streamline holdings.

In summary, the Perry Ranch Gas Plant transfer marks a smooth transition of ownership from Chevron USA to Scout Energy Management, reinforcing Scout’s growing presence in Texas’s midstream landscape. As Chevron continues its asset reshaping, local operators like Scout are emerging as key stewards of the state’s legacy energy infrastructure.
