Magnum Hunter Parlays Eagle Ford Acreage To Great Fortune
The forerunner of Magnum Hunter was Petro Resources, a micro cap exploration and production company with 36.7 million shares trading at $.23 per share. Since changing it's name to Mangun Hunter on July 14, 2009 the company has been on a roll. In less than a year and half, the company has grown from a $8.4 million company to yesterday acquiring Nuloch Resources for $327 million for less than 1/3 of their stock. That would roughly make Magnum Hunter a $1 billion company today. How did Magnum Hunter do this? I am pretty sure that obtaining leaseholds in Fayette and Gonzales Counties in the Eagle Ford for less than fair market price had a lot to do with it. It's not just Magnum Hunter either, it's all the operators using their cheaply acquired Eagle Ford acreage as a piggy bank to prop up their dry gas operations and finance their future exploration and production budgets. The Eagle Ford holds a great treasure capable of this. Those landowners who lease for chump change are giving away a once in a lifetime opportunity and selling something of great value for mere peanuts. $30,000 per acre and 30% royalty are too cheap for this great crude oil treasure. Demand fair value for your land!
