Description: Quicksilver Resources Inc. began operations in 1963 and went public in 1999. The company, with its subsidiaries, is an independent energy company engaged primarily in exploration, development and production of unconventional natural gas onshore in North America. It owns producing oil and natural gas properties in the United States, principally in Texas, Wyoming and Montana, and in Alberta, Canada, which had estimated total proved reserves of approximately 2.2 Tcfe of natural gas as of 2008. In addition, Quicksilver Resources also explores for natural gas onshore in North America, principally in the Horn River Basin of Northeast British Columbia and the Delaware Basin of West Texas. The company operates through two segments: the company's more dominant exploration and production segment, and its significantly smaller gathering and processing segment. The most recent key acquisition occurred in August 2008, when Quicksilver Resources completed a 1.3 billion dollar Alliance acquisition. This consisted of the purchase of leasehold, royalty and midstream assets in the Barnett Shale in northern Tarrant and southern Denton counties of Texas. Quicksilver Resources is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.Mining: Acquisition, development, exploration, production and sale of natural gas, crude oil and natural gas liquids.
