Rockford Energy Partners LLC announced that it has acquired substantially all of the assets of ECC Energy Corp., including 200 company operated coal bed methane gas wells, approximately 100,000 acres of oil and gas leases, heavy equipment including two drilling rigs and a completion rig along with over 180 miles of pipeline and compressor stations. Gross operated production is around 10 MMcf/d while Rockford’s net production is about 7 MMcf/d. “This acquisition immediately makes Rockford one of the largest producers of CBM in the Cherokee Basin of Northeast Oklahoma,” said Rockford President Chuck Perrin. “In addition, we have identified over 200 proven undeveloped CBM locations that we plan to drill over the next 12 months and we plan to capitalize on the significant infrastructure we now have in place by acquiring additional properties in the play.” Newly formed Rockford CBM LLC and Rockford Service Company LLC will hold title to and operate the properties. Rockford Energy Partners LLC is a portfolio company of Quantum Energy Partners of Houston.
