Our Commitment
to Colorado
Unlocking Colorado’s Energy Resources
SM Energy uses industry-leading technology to produce the energy that is essential to our daily lives right here in Colorado. As part of our commitment to the communities where we operate, our production techniques not only meet but exceed Colorado’s stringent state requirements to protect air and water.
SM Energy operates in the Permian Basin in West Texas and New Mexico, the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin in Colorado, the Maverick Basin in South Texas, and the Uinta Basin in northeast Utah.
Our purpose is to make people’s lives better by responsibly producing energy supplies, contributing to domestic energy security and prosperity, and having a positive impact in the communities where we live and work.
Founded in 1908, we are an independent exploration and production company with a long-standing, principled approach to doing business ethically and responsibly. Our company culture drives our behavior, and we seek to build open, honest and transparent relationships with our stakeholders.
