In recent months, the economy has seen a downturn in energy prices. With some energy companies filing bankruptcy, Lucas Energy, Inc. (NYSE MKT: LEI) has not only survived the recent downturn but positioned itself perfectly to benefit from the current market environment. Furthermore, the company plans to expand on its current national footprint.
Lucas Energy, Inc. is a growth-oriented, independent oil and gas company based in Houston. LEI has working interests in over 10,000 net acres in South Texas with reserves valued at approximately $112 million, as well as other reserves estimated to be worth $60 million. All of the company’s acreage is located in the Eagle Ford shale and the Austin Chalk producing formations.
In 2012, LEI appointed a new management team with a vast amount of experience that positioned the company for growth and opportunity. Since the appointment of this new expert team, the company has reduced overhead, improved balance sheets, made field operations more efficient, and resolved legacy legal issues.
Today, the company’s main goal is to develop its most valuable asset in the Eagle Ford shale. The aim is to increase production and generate positive cash flow. As part of these efforts, the company made public a purchase agreement to acquire a working interest in producing properties in the Mid-Continent region. This acquisition will play a key role in the growth strategy of the company.
With this transaction, the company aims to produce more energy on a daily basis. These changes have led Lucas Energy, Inc. to plan a name change to Camber Energy in the near future, a name that LEI believes is better suited to the vision of the company. Although the oil and gas industry has not been as strong in recent times, LEI has put together a three pronged strategy. This includes developing its current assets, capitalizing on the down cycle, and pursuing further material acquisitions.
