Oil & Gas Brochure

A commitment to serving the Oil and Gas Industry

A note from Dale Jensen, Partner-in-Charge, Oil and Gas Services Knowing where our clients are coming from and helping them get where they want to go is what drives us. The energy industry is fueled by risk. Price volatility, cost escalation, access to oil and gas reserves, access to capital, IT security and evolving energy and environmental policies top the lists of concerns our clients voice. Our response is to provide customized, risk-based, cost-effective solutions that help our clients achieve success.

The size of our firm and our dedication to the oil and gas industry contribute to our ability to provide exceptional service. Our vast knowledge and experience across all sectors of the energy industry, various financial and operational processes, internal controls, governance and financial reporting issues, as well as our keen understanding of the ever-changing market environment, distinguish Weaver’s work.

Weaver has the resources to help your company. With a depth of services—from traditional audit and tax; to state and local and international tax; to transaction, risk and IT advisory services to forensics and litigation services—Weaver has a team of knowledgeable professionals who are deeply experienced in creating solutions for the challenges and opportunities you face.

Highly satisfied clients and enduring client relationships have defined our success beyond market cycles and across generations. We bring together integrity, quality, industry knowledge, insight, accountability, trust and experience—and combine this with a passion for your success. Let us weave together the right people and solutions for your business.
