in the cOMMUNITY

With more than 70,000 individual mineral owners leased in the urban area, Dale is the leader in urban development. Safety, security and quality of life are of the highest priority for Dale. Because Dale specializes in working within heavily populated urban areas, we place a strong emphasis on safety and sound abatement, using next-generation, urban-friendly sound techniques and drilling equipment.

Dale is committed to bringing value to the communities and take an active role in improving the quality of life by sponsoring local programs, funding improvement projects, and working with the residents to provide information and education about how drilling will affect the area. We provide training programs for local fire departments and develop relationships with emergency personnel.

Working closely with local community groups and neighborhood associations, we ensure that the concerns of the people are heard. Dale is the first company to offer its communities 24-hour access to a community liaison.

Our Great Northside Friends

For over 18 months, The San Jose Mutual Society has graciously allowed our Northside Division to use their facilities for meetings. In return, Dale sponsored their anniversary celebration in 2006, donated new chairs and tables for the facility, and donated funds for the historical renovations to the adjacent property.

Donation Benefits Riverside Community

Dale presented a check for $20,000 dollars to the United Riverside Neighborhood Association in October of 2007. Dale has been working with the neighborhood for over a year to secure hundreds of mineral leases. The funds will be used to construct a new pavilion and sidewalk in Louella Bales Baker Park.

White Settlement Animal Shelter Upgrade

Dale is very active in White Settlement and wanted to support another organization who works many hours to benefit White Settlement. The City’s Animal Shelter was in need of improvements and Dale was able to step in and provide the shelter with all brand-new electronic equipment to help increase the probability of adoption for all the sweet, barking residents.

Annual Angel Tree

Every year, the employees at Dale adopt their own Angel Tree. In 2007, we had the great opportunity of providing Christmas for over 300 kids in Fort Worth.
