Mariette Naughton: A Buoyant Leader
Mariette Naughton is the President and
Founder of the Women-owned energy company,
Naughton Energy Corporation. Mariette was born in
the Philippines and migrated to the USA when she
met her Irish American husband in the 1960s. She
believes in diversity and inclusion and is a trusted
mentor for all company staff. She founded the energy
company in 1976 and since then the company has
evolved from distributing coal and various petroleum
products to being the premier supplier of fuel for
large Fortune 500 construction companies and their
projects in the New York Metropolitan area.
The oil and gas industry is
driven by several challenges
such as volatile gas and
oil prices, extreme locations,
marginal oil fields, as well as rapidly
changing global fuel trends. Amid
such challenges, it is becoming
important for players in the oil and
gas industry to build up effective
procurement strategies.
Naughton Energy Corporation was
formed in 1976 as a coal trading
firm with its initial market efforts
concentrated in the Northeastern
United States. In the early 1980s, the
company entered into petroleum
sales. During the 1980s, coal and
petroleum market areas were
expanded and the company initiated
sales of natural gas and specialized
industrial lubricants. Naughton
Energy is presently supplying coal,
petroleum, lubricants, and fuel
tanks to customers throughout the
continental United States.
Some of NEC’s projects include the
fuel supply for the redesign of the
Tappan Zee Bridge and Kosciuszko
Bridge, the airport expansions of the
LaGuardia Airport, JFK Airport and
Newark Airport, Sunnyside Yards,
the 2nd Avenue Subway, USOPEN
Tennis Complex, to name a few.
Naughton Energy is headquartered
in Pocono Pines, Pennsylvania.

Naughton Energy: ‘Our POV
on Future Trend Disrupters’
Naughton Energy is following all
alternatives to Ultra Low Sulfur
Diesel (ULSD), the forecast it
sees as the largest disrupter
will be wide-scale use of electric
vehicles. There is a lot of promise
with Co2 reductions of electric
vehicles however they are not
without fundamental flaws to
the environment. Some of these
issues include increased electricity
to the grid, development of
commercial charging stations,
battery technology and hazardous
materials once the batteries need
to be replaced.
Liquid Natural Gas
(LNG) is currently a
viable substitute for ULSD. Where
available, LNG promises a less
expensive and higher fuel economy
option.

New Services: Focus on Green
Business
Naughton Energy is currently
supplying Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) to its customers. DEF is a
relatively new product that is used
along with newer Diesel engines to
reduce the amount of air pollution
generated. The company uses
various methods to supply its end
users with this product. The energy
business has seen solid growth year
after year and forecasts positive
growth throughout each of the
next five years. Naughton Energy
achieves this growth through
disciplined spending and capital
investments in both its equipment

of the use of funds within the
corporation and fundamentally
views that investing back into the
company is a key contributor to
growth.
