In conjunction with the closing of this partnership, TARC acquired an initial leasehold position in the black oil window of the Eagle Ford trend in Atascosa County, Texas, covering ~12,000 acres. With First Reserve, TARC plans to acquire and develop a portfolio of properties that combines existing production with significant remaining undrilled locations.TARC previously operated in the DJ Basin in Colorado and Wyoming, the Barnett Shale in North Texas, in East Texas, the Texas Panhandle, and the Texas Gulf Coast, where the company successfully grew production and reserves, resulting in attractive returns for its partners and investors.
