We're on a MISSION to build a legacy of PROGRESS.

Exploring underservedhydrocarbon resources, whileempowering sustainable lasting IMPACT.

What We Do

Founded in 2012, Sarangani Petroil Corporation is a proudly Filipino-led oil and gas company committed to fueling the nation’s sustainable progress. Guided by the late Mr. Edgar Serenio’s vision of “by Filipinos, for Filipinos,” our team brings decades of expertise in responsible hydrocarbon exploration, drilling, and production, dedicated to advancing the Philippines’ energy future.


As a mission-driven contributor to energy independence, Sarangani Petroil Corporation is pioneering a hydrocarbon Exploration Play with an ESG-focused approach—prioritizing minimal environmental impact, community engagement, and transparent governance.

 

Our exploration is guided by innovation and responsibility—deploying advanced technology to minimize environmental impact while fostering partnerships that empower and uplift local communities.

 

We’re unlocking the Philippines’ energy resources with a forward-thinking approach, building resilience and sustainability into the country’s energy landscape.

Geography
The company’s 6 exploration sites are situated in the southern part of the Philippines. These areas have been identified as major petroleum-bearing regions in Southeast Asia with numerous oil and gas discoveries in recent years.

 

It lies near two active faults, while the Philippine Deep lies to its east and Mariana’s trench to its southwest, both of which are recognized as among the world’s largest trenches. The surrounding mountain ranges are mainly limestone and shale, with visible fossils of corals and marine species found on the mountainsides. The topsoil of these mountains was formed from pyro-plastic materials from a volcano eruption centuries ago. Based on photogeology, the mountains slope downward towards the bay.

 

It’s also situated within the Philippines’ exclusive EEZ territory.
