Rooted in the Soil. Driven by Spirit. Focused on Legacy.
Benson Petroleum is more than just an energy company — we are a faith-led force for generational wealth and sustainable development. Founded by visionary entrepreneur William Benson, our company was born out of a deep conviction: when God gives you land, He gives you legacy.
Operating primarily across Warren and Butler Counties in Kentucky, Benson Petroleum manages over 34,000 acres of oil- and gas-rich land. With an estimated 1.6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 340 million barrels of oil beneath our feet, we are committed to unlocking value from the earth with integrity, innovation, and a higher purpose.
Our Mission
To responsibly extract and manage natural resources in a way that creates lasting economic impact, honors divine stewardship, and builds multi-generational prosperity for stakeholders, communities, and investors.
Our Vision
To be America’s most purpose-driven petroleum company — one that blends traditional energy development with modern innovation, ethical operations, and long-term sustainability.
Our Legacy in Motion
What began as a bold vision is now an operational reality — with multi-well development plans, a proprietary 20-mile pipeline, and a suite of scalable investment models, Benson Petroleum is creating a new standard in American oil and gas. And we’re just getting started.
