EXCO Resources, Inc. EXCE

EXCE Company Overview

EXCO Resources, Inc. was an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The company operated primarily in the upstream energy sector, focusing on the acquisition, development, exploitation, and production of unconventional oil and natural gas reserves in the United States. Its principal revenue drivers historically came from the sale of natural gas, crude oil, and natural gas liquids produced from shale and tight-rock formations.

The company’s core operating focus included assets in the Haynesville/Bossier Shale, Eagle Ford Shale, and Appalachian Basin regions. EXCO developed a strategy centered on acquiring mature or underdeveloped assets with redevelopment potential, often utilizing horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies. Founded in 1955, the company evolved from a regional exploration business into a publicly traded shale-focused producer during the North American unconventional drilling expansion. EXCO later experienced significant financial distress tied to commodity price volatility and leverage levels, ultimately filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2018 and subsequently restructuring its operations.
