Did you know Michigan’s old oil fields have a second life after oil production? ??? After an oil field is depleted, it doesn’t just sit there—it can be repurposed as underground storage for natural gas. Michigan uses these old fields, along with salt caverns, to store natural gas and propane, ensuring a steady energy supply when demand spikes. So while the oil may be gone, these sites still help power our energy future. #MichiganEnergy #MillerEnergy #NaturalGas #EnergyStorage

Old Wells. New Life. Same Mission. At Miller Energy Company, we don’t chase the newest, biggest oil fields. We look at the wells others have left behind—the ones others assume are depleted. But here’s the thing: Many of these wells still have life in them. They just need the right expertise. By applying technology, experience, and a fresh perspective, we extend the production life of these wells, making them more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible. ? ???????????????????? ???????????????? ??????????????????, ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ? ?????????????????? ???????????? ?????????????? ?????? ???????????????? ? ???????????? ?????????????? ?????? ?????????? ?????????????????????? Michigan’s energy history runs deep, and we’re proud to be part of it—keeping wells productive, jobs local, and resources flowing. We don’t see old wells as the end of the road. We see them as opportunities. #MichiganEnergy #MillerEnergy #GasAndOil #Innovation

Producing oil is one thing—getting it to market is another. Right now, we’re facing a challenge that many Michigan operators deal with: our production is strong, but our purchaser’s pace of movement isn’t keeping up. And when that happens, things back up quickly. Here’s why: ?? ?????????????? ???????? & ???????????????? ???????????????? – Onsite storage is limited, so timely movement is critical. If trucks or pipelines aren’t available, we hit a bottleneck preventing continued production. ?? ???????????? ???????????????? – Oil prices on CNBC or Bloomberg only tell part of the story. Regional price differences, transportation costs, and infrastructure limitations all affect how—and when—we sell. ?? ???????????????????????????? ?????????????????????? – Unlike major basins with extensive pipelines and storage, Michigan’s oil industry operates with fewer sales outlets. Fewer outlets mean fewer alternatives when delays occur. This is the side of oil production that most people don’t see. It’s not just about pulling oil out of the ground—it’s about logistics, market access, and constant problem-solving. At Miller Energy Company, we’re always working to optimize our operations and navigate these challenges. Because in this business, efficiency isn’t just a goal—it’s survival. #MichiganEnergy #MillerEnergy #GasAndOil #OilLogistics

Did you know the Ancient Egyptians used petroleum as medicine? ?? They relied on liquid petroleum to treat wounds, relieve pain, and even as a laxative (definitely not FDA-approved!). Fast forward thousands of years, and petroleum-based products—like petroleum jelly—are still staples in medicine and skincare, helping to heal and protect skin. Petroleum has been shaping human history for centuries, and its impact is just as vital today. From ancient remedies to modern innovations, the role of petroleum continues to evolve. #MillerEnergy #GasAndOil #EnergyFacts #DidYouKnow

Ever driven on an icy Michigan road and wondered how it stays safe? ??? With a little help from oil wells like ours! At Miller Energy, we don’t just produce oil—we also supply brine (aka saltwater) to Road Commissions across Michigan for ice control and dust suppression. Brine is a natural byproduct of oil production, and while some wells produce only brine, most produce up a mix of oil, gas, and saltwater. Instead of letting it go to waste, we put it to good use—helping keep Michigan’s roads safer year-round. So the next time you drive on a clear winter road, just know—oil wells played a part in that! ?? Shoutout to the Michigan Road Commissions for keeping us safe this winter! #MichiganEnergy #MillerEnergy #RoadSafety #FunFact

Every year, our team at Miller Energy Company selects a theme—one that sets the tone for the year ahead. We put it to a vote, and our employees chose a simple but powerful mindset: ? Commit. ? Complete. ? Conquer. Last year, we were "Fighting for It"—defending our industry and preparing for major projects launching in 2025. Now, it’s time for action. This year, we’re focused on execution and results—driving forward with purpose, resilience, and a commitment to excellence. By year’s end, we’ll look back knowing we committed, we completed, and—we conquered. Let’s get to work. ?? #CommitCompleteConquer #MillerEnergy #MichiganEnergy #GasAndOil

At Miller Energy, experience is everything—and few people embody that more than Dean Yost. Dean has been with us for 33 years—he knows these wells inside and out. On a recent visit to one of our leases, he walked through the oil production process, breaking it down step by step: ?? ?????? ?????????????? ???????? – Extracts a mix of crude oil, water, and gas from nearly 4,000 feet, with Michigan reservoirs ranging from 2,500 to 7,000 feet underground. Pumping Unit operations are carefully managed to optimize fluid production while maintaining reservoir pressure. ?? ?????? ???????????? ?????????????? – Separates oil, water, and gas from the produced fluid, directing each to its proper destination for processing and use. ? ???????????????? ???????????????????? – Produced water is reinjected into the formation to support reservoir management, oil is stored for transport, and gas is recycled to generate self-sustaining power for operations, optimizing efficiency and reducing waste. It’s easy to talk about the energy industry at a high level, but it’s professionals like Dean who ensure everything runs safely, efficiently, and reliably—day in and day out. Decades of knowledge, hard work, and a commitment to doing things right. #MillerEnergy #MichiganEnergy #GasAndOil #EnergyIndustry #Leadership #OilProductionz

Here's a fun fact for your Friday: Nearly 50% of the oil in the ocean comes from natural seeps—not spills or drilling. For millions of years, oil has been oozing from the ocean floor, formed by heat, pressure, and organic matter trapped beneath the seabed. ?? These natural seeps function like an underground spring, slowly releasing oil into the water. Ancient civilizations, such as the Babylonians, used seep oil for waterproofing, medicine, and even early forms of energy. The more we understand about how oil forms and moves, the better we can responsibly manage and produce energy for the future. #MillerEnergy #GasAndOil #EnergyFacts #DidYouKnow

It’s -5°F in Michigan today. Our crews are out in the field, battling snow and ice to keep operations running. Meanwhile, in West Texas, operators are working under a completely different climate—but both are focused on the same goal: delivering reliable, sustainable energy. That’s why one-size-fits-all regulations don’t work. What makes sense in a warm-weather basin can create major roadblocks in colder regions like Michigan. Operations, safety protocols, and infrastructure challenges vary widely across the country. We need smart, practical policies that account for real-world conditions—not regulations that freeze progress in its tracks. #MichiganEnergy #MillerEnergy #GasAndOil #EnergyPolicy #SmartRegulation #WinterOperations

???????????????? ?????????????? ?????? ???? ????????. While the snow makes for some breathtaking views, it also brings a unique set of challenges to oil field operations. Ice-covered roads, freezing equipment, and subzero temperatures aren’t just inconveniences—they’re obstacles we have to overcome daily to keep production running smoothly. But at Miller Energy Company, we don’t back down from the cold. We prepare. ? ???????????????????? ?????????????????? – Cold temps can wreak havoc on machinery. That’s why we use heated enclosures, insulated lines, and specialized fluids to keep everything operating efficiently. ? ???????? & ???????? ?????????????????????? – Snow and ice don’t slow us down. Our team keeps access roads clear, ensuring our crews and the oil haulers can safely reach well sites, no matter the conditions. ? ???????? ?????????????? ???????????? ?????????????????? – From proper cold-weather gear to utilizing trucks for warm-ups and adjusting schedules, we take extra precautions to protect our people. Safety is always priority #1. When you’re committed to unlocking the full potential of Michigan’s mature oil fields, you don’t wait for perfect weather—you adapt, you innovate, and you keep moving forward. Because energy doesn’t stop when the temperature drops. ?? #MichiganEnergy #MillerEnergy #GasAndOil #WinterOperations
