Royale Energy Funds, Inc. is an independent oil and gas producer. The Company also performs turnkey drilling operations. The Company owns wells and leases in various geological basins located primarily in California, Texas, Oklahoma, and Utah, and offers fractional working interests. The Company also owns an overriding royalty interest in discovery in Alaska.
