Preston Bass, President of BassEXP

Preston Bass runs Bass Energy & Exploration as President, managing all exploration and production operations across Oklahoma. He grew up around the oil and gas business, and he brings a hands-on approach to every project, combining generational knowledge with modern drilling techniques.

BassEXP operates with full transparency, clear communication, and a track record of strong results for investors. Preston takes responsible energy development seriously and works to earn the trust of every investor who partners with the company.

Preston works directly with qualified investors to find strong drilling opportunities and make sure each project meets the standards that define BassEXP.

Background and Experience

Preston's education in petroleum land management and hands-on field training gave him a practical foundation in every phase of the well lifecycle, from leasing and permitting through drilling, completion, and production. He has spent years working in Oklahoma's most productive basins, including the SCOOP, STACK, and broader Anadarko Basin, building the operational knowledge that informs every project BassEXP takes on.

His experience covers prospect evaluation, drilling program design, AFE management, production optimization, and investor reporting. Preston is involved in the details because that is where the decisions are made that determine whether a well performs or underperforms. He reviews geological data, negotiates service contracts, oversees drilling operations, and monitors production from each well in the BassEXP portfolio.

The Bass Family Legacy in Oklahoma Energy

The Bass family has been involved in Oklahoma oil and gas for generations, accumulating over 100 years of combined experience in exploration, production, and land management. That legacy is more than a talking point. It means BassEXP operates with relationships, geological knowledge, and operational instincts that take decades to develop. Preston carries that foundation forward while applying modern horizontal drilling techniques, advanced completion designs, and data-driven decision making to every project.

BassEXP is headquartered in Oklahoma City, close to the formations we operate in and the service companies, regulatory bodies, and industry partners we work with daily. Being local matters. It means faster response times, stronger vendor relationships, and direct oversight of every well site.

Approach to Investor Partnerships

Preston's approach to working with qualified investors is straightforward: be honest about the risks, be clear about the costs, and report the results without spin. Every investor receives direct access to production data, operating expense breakdowns, and reserve estimates. There are no hidden fees and no layers of management between investors and the person running their wells. Preston is available by phone or email to answer questions, explain operational decisions, and discuss the performance of any project in the portfolio. That level of access reflects how BassEXP operates — the Bass family invests alongside every partner, so transparency is not just a policy, it is a financial necessity.
