Citation Oil & Gas Corp. is one of the largest privately-held independent oil and gas acquisition, development and production companies in the United States. Founded in 1981 by Forrest E. Harrell, Sr., Citation has built a significant portfolio of mature, long-life producing properties through a combination of disciplined acquisitions, focused operations and subsequent development.

Since 1985, Citation has invested $2.1 billion in over 80 oil and gas reserve acquisitions. As a result of these acquisitions and subsequent property development, Citation now has ownership interests in approximately 13,000 wells in over 430 separately designated fields that contain over 257 million net equivalent barrels of proved reserves, and has net production of approximately 26,260 barrels of oil and 43 million cubic feet of gas per day. Citation’s reserves are 82% oil and 71% are proved developed and have a reserve life index of 26 years. Critical to our ability to control future development and operating costs, Citation is the operator for over 87% of the value of the properties in which it owns an interest.

Our assets are located exclusively onshore in the central third of the U.S., with concentrated positions in the Mid-Continent, Permian Basin, Illinois Basin and Rocky Mountain regions. In addition to our upstream oil and gas operations, Citation is also involved in crude oil marketing activities through its wholly owned subsidiary, Citation Crude Marketing, Inc.

Citation continues to pursue growth through the acquisition of oil and gas properties that fit our operating expertise – majority crude oil, high PDP component with established decline trends, long remaining reserve life, and low geologic risk. Complementing this disciplined acquisition strategy, the company has an active asset development program to enhance production and recoverable reserves of its properties through a wide variety of engineering-driven capital projects, including infill drilling, waterflood optimization, horizontal drilling and enhanced oil recovery applications.

Citation has 498 employees and is headquartered in Houston, Texas. The company also has regional offices located in Midland, Texas; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Gillette, Wyoming.
