Newark E&P is an independent Texas operator focused on developing oil and natural gas reserves in unconventional resource plays. Our current activities are concentrated in the Fort Worth Basin and Bend Arch areas of North Texas. 

Dry Gas Core Area

Newark E&P operations in the Barnett Shale Dry Gas Play are part of a joint-venture with Beacon E&P of Denver, CO, and are concentrated in eastern Tarrant and western Dallas Counties, TX, within the cities of Arlington, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, and Mansfield. Located in the most prolific part of this mature play, our project areas offer low-risk opportunities for development of properties with very high-reserve potential. As early entrants into this area, Newark E&P and its partners were able to assemble several unique projects with large, contiguous blocks of acreage anchored by multiple drill sites. 

Oil & Gas "Combo" Play

Newark E&P operations in the Barnett Shale "Combo" Play are located in Montague, Cooke, Wise, Denton, and Jack Counties, TX. Oil, gas, and a large component of natural gas liquids combine to create low-risk opportunities for development of a part of the Barnett Shale that has been largely de-risked by recent industry activity.  

Western Liquids-rich Gas Play

Located in Jack, Palo Pinto, Parker, and Wise Counties, TX, this well-established area of the Barnett Shale has proven economics driven by high-BTU gas production and low-cost operations. 

Newark E&P is currently active in several exploratory "tight-oil" resource plays in the mid-continent region. The target reservoirs have historically produced hydrocarbons at generally uneconomic levels, but with the combination of current commodity pricing and the application of modern drilling and completion techniques these unconventional reservoirs can be produced with favorable economics.
