Steve Jordan, Chairman of the Board

Steve Jordan is the founder and chief executive officer of Jordan Oil, Central Crude, Louisiana Tank and Louisiana Geothermal, with offices in Lake Charles and Houston. Steve is the president-elect of Louisiana Oil and Gas Association (LOGA), a role he will assume in March of 2010, as well as a member of the Board of Directors for Louisiana Business and Industry (LABI). Steve is also the president of the Vacuum Truck Carriers of Louisiana.

Steve has been among the Gulf Coast’s leading oil and gas industry practitioners for more than 30 years, consistently growing his businesses through the boom and bust years of the last three decades. Under his guidance, Jordan Oil has become one of the largest natural gas and crude oil developers in South Louisiana. Similarly, Central Crude is currently the largest crude oil purchaser in the state and the largest independently owned business in the Lake Charles area. Louisiana Tank is the largest liquid oilfield waste disposal company in the state of Louisiana.

Steve owes his success to an unmatched knowledge of the industry, a tremendous work ethic and a willingness to embrace new ideas and technologies.

Most recently, Steve has overseen the extension of a traditional oil and gas conglomerate into his most recent venture in the renewable energy sector with Louisiana Geothermal, the first geothermal-geopressured project of its kind in the state.

Steve Jordan-owned companies also participate in their host communities. Steve encourages his employees to be active in community service, and charitable contributions target organizations that enhance the quality of community life.

Steve’s management skills, coupled with his wealth of knowledge and experience in oil and gas exploration and production, has invited the respect and deference of industry veterans from all over the energy-rich Gulf Coast.
