History

In 2013, the Dallas Business Journal reported on Young's strategy for developing acreage in the Cline Shale and positioning the acreage for a potential sale to a larger oil and gas company.[3]
In 2015, the Dallas Business Journal included Young in its Who's Who in Energy feature covering oil and gas leaders in North Texas. The publication identified him as chief executive officer of King Operating Corporation.[4]
Operations

The company describes its activities as including the acquisition, development and divestiture of oil and natural gas properties.[6]
Public oil-and-gas databases list wells, leases and production records associated with King Operating Corporation in Texas and Oklahoma.[7][8]
In a 2025 report about increased production by OPEC+ and its effect on American oil producers, MarketWatch identified King Operating as an oil-and-gas operator. Young said that lower and unpredictable oil prices affected producers such as King, while growing international demand for United States natural gas provided a more favorable outlook.[1]
