Our Company

Albrecht & Associates is headquartered in Houston, Texas, with a satellite office in Denver, Colorado. We are an affiliate of Morgan Keegan. When you hire Albrecht & Associates, that is exactly what you get: Albrecht and associates. Bob Albrecht personally oversees the engineering on every deal. He still forecasts every decline curve used in our sales. Harrison Williams still does the selling. All this provides a consistency to our work that allows the industry to calibrate us and know what to expect from us.

Our associates, all engineers and geologists by training, have an average 20 years’ experience in oil and gas. They are seasoned professionals with A&D backgrounds. They know what buyers are looking for in a data room and they know the answers to the questions that will be asked about the properties. We don’t want buyers wasting their time in our data rooms; we want them finding and understanding value.

Our consistency is just one more example of how we work hard for our buyers because it benefits our sellers.
