HISTORY
The company traces its roots to
1958 when Robert L. Bayless moved to Farmington, New Mexico from Oklahoma
to explore for oil and gas in the San Juan Basin. Following the successful
20-year partnership of Merrion and Bayless, Bob continued to explore
for and produce natual gas in the Southern Rocky Mountain Region.
In 1997 the Independent Petroleum
Association of Mountain States named Bob Wildcatter of the
Year. He was inducted into the Rocky Mountain Oil & Gas Hall
of Fame in 2004.
In the early 1990's the Bayless
Farmington office joined with Robert L. Bayless Jr.'s Denver office
to become active all across the southern and central Rockies. Bob passed
control of the company to his sons and son-in-law in the late 1990's
and died in 2002. Robert L. Bayless, Producer LLC carries on his legacy
of long-range thinking, solid oil & gas operations and good citizenship
into the future.
