Recruitment in Dallas supports one of America’s largest concentrations of energy company headquarters outside Houston. The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex hosts major players including HF Sinclair, TXU Energy, and numerous independent oil and gas operators with positions in the Permian Basin and other prolific regions. Texas’s oil and gas industry paid $27 billion in state and local taxes in fiscal year 2025, employing over 495,500 Texans at average salaries of $133,095. Dallas also serves as a hub for midstream pipeline companies and natural gas marketers operating across the central United States. The state’s deregulated electricity market has attracted competitive retail energy providers and power generators to the region.
