About Comstock Resources, Inc.
About Comstock Resources, Inc.
Comstock Resources holds 7.0 Tcfe of proved natural gas reserves with a PV 10 value of $4.5 billion at December 31, 2025, with substantially all reserves in the Haynesville and Bossier shale plays across 1,069,991 gross acres in North Louisiana and East Texas. The company drilled 52 wells averaging 11,187-foot laterals in 2025, replacing 830% of production in the SEC price case, and reported an average reserve life of approximately 16 years.
Revenue derives almost entirely from natural gas sales into Gulf Coast markets, which benefit from geographic proximity to LNG export terminals, pipeline exports to Mexico, and petrochemical facilities. In 2025, Comstock operated 99% of its proved reserve base and spent $1.05 billion on drilling and completion activities. The company's Pinnacle Gas Services LLC operates 246 miles of high-pressure pipelines and two gas treating plants in the Western Haynesville area; in January 2026, Pinnacle entered an agreement to redeem its Quantum Capital Solutions partnership interest for $440 million cash. A partnership with NextEra Energy Resources LLC targets 2 gigawatts of initial power generation capacity in Western Haynesville for hyperscaler data centers, with potential expansion to 8 gigawatts. Outstanding principal debt was $2.8 billion at December 31, 2025.
Show full overview
Comstock Resources' proved undeveloped reserve base is highly price-sensitive, having grown by 3.1 Tcf during 2025 as SEC prices rose from $1.84 per Mcf in 2024 to $3.07 per Mcf in 2025, while associated future development capital commitments grew from $0.9 billion to $4.7 billion over the same period. The 10-K discloses that the business is 'heavily dependent upon the price of and demand for natural gas,' and the 2024 reserve cycle — when undeveloped reserves shrank by 1.2 Tcf at the lower price — illustrates the downside: a renewed price decline could significantly reduce the proved undeveloped base and compress the capital program.
