Transparency and integrity
In 2022 , Surge acknowledged a significant landmark in terms of its impact on its resident state . “ As of last year ,” Travis explains , “ we had generated over $ 7 billion worth of contributions towards Texas ’ economy , which includes cumulative oil and gas revenues , royalty and working interest payments , and production taxes . Beyond the monetary benefits that we have provided the state , Surge has also made an impact through the direct employment of approximately 200 Texans , and the indirect employment opportunities of approximately 200 to 300 workers through our partners and service providers . Moreover , we believe the oil and gas industry is still a critical part of the Texas economy and we are proud of our track record of being a responsible operator .”
“ Safety , integrity , teamwork , transparency , and excellence are our core values ,” Chris
continues , “ however , we prefer to refer to them as ‘ Simply Who We Are .’ The naming of these values is based on our belief that these characteristics are deeply embedded in our culture , and how we treat all of our stakeholders ; it ’ s not just a sign on the wall or content on our website . This is evident in how
Safety , integrity , teamwork , transparency , and excellence are our core values we now provide our sustainability reports publicly , regardless of being a privately held company and not being required to . By communicating our historic performances and future goals to the general public , we are displaying our commitment to transparency and integrity . “ In focusing on these principles , we can offer our employees a great place to work ,” he concludes . “ We value each of them and believe that if you hire great people and let them do their job , they will be more motivated and successful . We do not have a blame culture , but instead strive to learn from our mistakes and try not to repeat them . There should never be a punishment for trying a good idea that may not work out as expected .” ■
