On March 13, 2025, Trinity Petroleum Management filed a formal notice with the Texas Attorney General regarding a significant data breach. The breach occurred when an unauthorized party accessed sensitive personal information provided to the company. This compromised data included consumers’ names, addresses, and Social Security numbers. Following the breach, Trinity Petroleum began sending notification letters to individuals whose personal data was affected, notifying them of the incident and offering guidance on how to protect themselves.
Trinity Petroleum has not released full details about the cause of the breach but mentioned that the issue stemmed from unauthorized access to its systems.
The company has not issued a public statement or press release, so the available information is limited to its filing with the Attorney General of Texas. The breach could involve data stored by Trinity Petroleum itself, but it’s also possible that a third-party vendor or partner company’s systems were compromised, which would mean the breach did not directly occur within Trinity Petroleum’s infrastructure.
The company’s investigation revealed that the breached data varied depending on the individual. While some of the exposed information may be relatively benign, others had their Social Security numbers and addresses accessed by unauthorized parties. The sensitive nature of this data has made the breach particularly concerning, and Trinity Petroleum’s priority has been to identify the full extent of the incident, which is still ongoing.
As part of the investigation, the company has focused on determining how the breach occurred and what other sensitive information may have been compromised.
Trinity Petroleum is expected to send breach notification letters to all affected individuals as soon as possible. These letters will likely include more detailed information about the breach’s cause, the specific data compromised, and any steps victims can take to mitigate the effects of the breach. The company, headquartered in Denver, Colorado, specializes in providing back-office services for oil and gas operators, assisting with financial reporting, land management, and regulatory compliance. With about 50 employees and an estimated annual revenue of $10 million, Trinity Petroleum plays an essential role in helping energy companies manage operations and maximize profitability.
