About Talos Energy
Talos Energy operates as an independent business focused on finding and producing oil and natural gas. Its work centers on offshore fields in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and in Mexican waters, and it is recognized for this offshore exploration and production activity.
The company holds proven reserves measured in barrels of oil equivalent, made up of crude oil and natural gas volumes recorded as of a given year end. Its operations are built around identifying hydrocarbon deposits and bringing them into production from these offshore fields, with its business tied directly to the resources it extracts rather than to a separate customer base described in its records.
Talos Energy was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas. Its shares trade on the NYSE under the ticker TALO.
