Energy Financial Services
An experienced team, ready to help
Established in 1910 as a regional source of capital for the energy industry, BOK Financial has evolved and expanded for more than a century—but we have always remained focused on the banking needs of the oil and gas sector.
For us, energy isn’t simply a line of business. It’s an integral part of our corporate culture, and we are proud to deliver the personalized customer service that you’ve come to expect.
We provide long-term financial solutions to fuel the growth of oil and gas upstream and midstream companies.
We can help dampen market volatility or capture profit margins through our dynamically priced hedges for crude oil, natural gas and other products.
The BOK Financial Securities Energy Investment team includes a sell-side advisor focused on upstream and midstream offerings with a closing execution rate over 90% since 2016.
We offer diverse fiduciary services, including trust and foundation setup, estate management and custody services.
Pioneers in energy banking
Throughout our 100-year-plus history, we’ve kept our fingers on the pulse of the energy industry, responding to the industry’s needs in ways that are both innovative and timely. For example, we:
- Created reserve-based lending in 1910.
- Began fiduciary management of oil and gas minerals in 1949. Today, we’re one of the largest mineral managers in the U.S.
- Expanded from Oklahoma into oil-rich Texas in 1997.
- Became one of the first banks to offer commodity hedging services to the energy industry in 2011.
- Added A&D advisory to the energy platforms service offering in 2016.
- Surpassed $6 billion in energy loan commitments in 2022.
