When Houston-based oil and gas producer Surge Energy wanted to secure the dramatic story of its 2015 founding — a story of steady growth, dramatic risk, and environmental innovation — Echo created this seven and a half minute brand story video.

Built on interviews, archival imagery, and field footage, the film captures Surge’s rise from under 4,000 barrels per day to over 60,000, all while conserving  billions of gallons of freshwater and eliminating thousands of tons of CO₂e. And who better to narrate the highs and lows than the team of hardworking Texans who have helped redefine Permian Basin energy production.
