    History of Comstock Resources

    Comstock Resources was originally incorporated in 1919 and has gone through several iterations. The company was transformed under the leadership of Jay Allison, who focused operations on the prolific Haynesville Shale starting in the late 2000s. A significant influx of capital from Jerry Jones's family office in 2018 allowed Comstock to make transformative acquisitions that consolidated its position as a top Haynesville operator. The company has since focused on disciplined development and debt reduction.

    Operations & Business Segments

    Comstock operates approximately 360,000 net acres in the Haynesville and Bossier shale formations spanning East Texas and North Louisiana. The company runs a multi-rig drilling program targeting high-deliverability natural gas wells. Comstock's strategic location near Gulf Coast demand centers and LNG export facilities provides premium pricing for its gas production relative to Appalachian or Rockies-based producers.
