About Reserve Petroleum
Crude Petroleum & Natural Gas, SIC 1311
The Reserve Petroleum Company manages owned mineral properties and explores for and develops oil and natural gas properties.

It sells crude oil and natural gas directly to petroleum industry purchasers under short-term spot market contracts, with major customers including Crawley Petroleum Corporation and Mewbourne Oil Company. Additionally, the company maintains an investment program focused on marketable securities, real estate, energy assets, and early-stage ventures.
