BKV Closes Barnett Shale Acquisition Adding 65 MMcfe/d and CCS Assets
BKV sits 21% above its 52-week low of $20.08.
Summary
BKV completed its acquisition of Barnett Shale upstream, midstream, and carbon capture assets on September 15, 2026. The deal adds over 65 MMcfe/d of production (more than 50% liquids), 0.35 Tcfe of PDP reserves, 117,000 net acres, and an operated CCS project that has captured over 100,000 metric tons of CO2. Terms were not disclosed, but funding came from cash on hand and the revolver. This expands BKV's footprint in the Barnett and strengthens its closed-loop natural gas and carbon capture strategy. The acquisition follows the company's recent $575 million convertible notes offering, which provides additional liquidity for growth.
