Founded in 2005, we are a Western Pennsylvania producer/operator of oil & natural gas. MDS Energy is a fully funded, without debt, family office. After several years of drilling shallow vertical wells in the Pittsburgh area, we successfully transitioned to target deep shale formations. With this transition, our capital needs increased significantly, and we began to raise outside capital from private, accredited investors.
