Outside Oil & Gas

 

 

As we have developed oil and gas properties in Oklahoma, Marjo has taken on roles outside of the oil and gas industry.  We have become actively involved in farming and ranching as part of our respect for agriculture, and we have contributed to the communities that have encouraged our growth.  Below are some highlights of what we do outside of our original business.

 

MMK Properties, LLC

 

Hay meadow.

 

Newly built pond.

 

MMK Properties originated from Marjo's acquisition of 320 acres of range land in Lincoln County, OK in the summer of 2003.  Shortly after obtaining this land, Marjo purchased approximately thirty head of cattle to run on the properties.  Marjo has continually made improvements to the land through the clearing of unwanted timber, new fence construction, and new pond construction.  MMK, an LLC owned by Marjo's principals, is now the managing entity of our cattle ranch, which has grown to approximately 500 acres of maintained range through continued acquisition and improvement.  Our cattle are fed rations and consume hay that we bale on our own meadow.  In the summer of 2007, MMK purchased 160 acres of wheat land in Kay County, OK.  Having our own farming and ranching operations gives us true respect for agriculture, and shows us the significance of the land which we must carefully utilize for oil and gas drilling and production.

 

Community Activities

 

Carney High School.

 

Carney Volunteer Fire Department.

 

Perkins-Tryon High School.

 

Marjo is also proud to support the communities that have allowed us to grow.  Marjo has made general monetary donations to Perkins-Tryon Public Schools, Carney Public Schools, the Carney Volunteer Fire Department, and the Perkins Thomas-Wilhite Memorial Library.  In 2006, Marjo assisted the City of Carney in building a senior citizens' center.  Currently, Marjo is assisting the Carney Betterment Association in constructing an eight-man football field for the Carney High School.
