UPDATE Magazine Pub 4 2022-2023 Issue 1

Roosevelt-based Uinta Wax & Finley Resources has more than 100 employees, with operations extending from Horseshoe Bend on the west to Fruitland on the east and Bennett on the north to Parriette on the south.

Earlier this year, they participated in Field Clean Ups in Uintah and Duchesne counties to tidy up local communities. Employees, assisted by a few contractors, picked up an estimated 12,000 lbs. of roadside debris, spending approximately 1,200 man hours over two days, cleaning up many of the roads in those counties. The cleanup efforts covered 27 miles of Uintah County roads and 25 miles of roads in Duchesne County. In total, more than 400 trash bags were deployed, along with D&M Hot Oil picking up multiple loads of trash in their dump trailer. Lunches were provided by NOV, Inc. and Sunbelt Rentals of Roosevelt.

“We honestly look forward to these opportunities to get out and make a difference in our Basin community,” said Leslie Pearson, Landman for Finley Resources. Adding, “Our families live, work and play here. We love our Basin home. Why not spend a little time making it even better?”

This is just one of the many ways that Uintah Wax & Finley Resources gives back. We want to acknowledge a number of the other ways they make our communities a better place:
