Harding Company, a privately-held Texas corporation, beginning in 1953, has operated with an excellent track record in all phases of oil and gas operations including exploration, development and production as well as development of associated infrastructure.

Harding, considered a leading expert in new technology implementation (3-D seismic and horizontal drilling), is pursing numerous opportunities in the Barnett Shale, one of the largest unconventional natural gas fields in the U.S.; east and south Texas; southeastern Mississippi; and Washington state.

DDJET Limited L.P. is the name of the partnership between one of Harding Company's affiliates and one of ExxonMobil's wholly-owned subsidiares for development of natural gas in the Texas counties of Tarrant, Johnson, Ellis, Dallas, Denton, Collin, Navarro and Hill.

Harding is proud to be known for its fair treatment and environmental consciousness among partners and land owners.  Our safety record is unblemished.

Municipalities in the Barnett Shale require gas drilling permits, either by ordinance, a special use permit, or both.  Harding has been instrumental in assisting many cities in drafting their ordinances and reaching out to the public about safety and environmental matters.

Harding Company is the FIRST operator to be permitted to drill for natural gas in the cities of Arlington, Grand Prairie, North Richland Hills, and Midlothian, to name a few.
