John C. Eads, president and CFO of Sierra Resources LLC, is today’s Forty Under 40 featured honoree.

Founded in 1996, Sierra Resources operates in the Eagle Ford Shale and Olmos Formation in South Texas. The Houston-based company is backed by Post Oak Energy Capital and GSO Capital Partners.

John said a short-term goal is to finalize delineation wells in the Eagle Ford and the Olmos and move those businesses into full development in the next 18 months.

A long-term goal “is to have our industry peers and partners say, ‘the Sierra guys do things right’—“I would hope to have a series of successful transactions to create value for our investors and employees,” he adds.
