Operating within the energy sector’s exploration and production segment, W&T Offshore plays a role in supplying hydrocarbons that feed U.S. refining, petrochemical, power generation, and industrial demand. Founded in 1983 and active in the Gulf of Mexico since then, it remains focused on offshore upstream activities in this region.
