Epsilon 3Q: Chesapeake Finally Brought Some Pa. Wells Online

Epsilon Energy issued its third quarter 2024 update last week. Epsilon, a relatively small company, used to concentrate most of its effort on developing Marcellus Shale wells. However, over the past few years, the company has expanded into other plays and now owns assets in the Anadarko (Oklahoma and Texas), the Permian (Texas and New Mexico), and most recently the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (in Alberta, Canada). Epsilon typically does not do its own drilling. The company joint venture partners with (gives money to) other companies, like Chesapeake Energy (now Expand Energy) in the Marcellus, and the other company does the drilling. For 3Q, Epsilon’s capital expenditures were $4.7 million in the upstream (drilling) division. There was no breakdown on where that money was spent, but we suspect little, if any, was spent in the Marcellus. Read More “Epsilon 3Q: Chesapeake Finally Brought Some Pa. Wells Online”
