About Us
Moonshine Energy operates on values aligned with our customers' needs, offering reliable hauling and disposal of produced fluids. All collected fluids, including water, oil, and BS&W, are transported to our processing facility, where volumes and contents are thoroughly documented.
Each month, customers receive a detailed statement outlining total barrels hauled, oil recovered, and BS&W percentages. While other haulers operate behind closed doors, we operate with transparency and consistency.

Our Services
Oilfield / Reclamation · Trucking · MarketingMoonshine Energy runs three connected business units. Our oilfield and reclamation facilities accept and process produced fluid across the Permian Basin and Oklahoma, our trucking division moves every fluid type in the basin with the right equipment for the job, and our marketing team places crude and NGLs into premium markets. Together they let operators hand off a barrel once and have it handled from the lease to the point of sale.
Oilfield / Reclamation
Reclamation and water disposal across five company-owned facilities. Fluid is treated and settled, gauged by a Moonshine pumper as part of our 24/7 manned operation, and all water and solids are removed and responsibly disposed of at Moonshine's expense.
Trucking
A fleet built to handle any fluid in the Permian Basin, including vac, crude, LPG and hydro-vac trucks. Beyond hauling, we buy crude oil and NGLs, perform facility work, and provide fresh water services.
Marketing
We purchase oil at the lease, pursue pipeline gathering deals, market LPG, and provide blendstock solutions, helping operators maximize value at every stage from the wellhead to the point of sale.
