History
Cimarex was founded in 2002. The company was a corporate spin-off of Helmerich & Payne, which sought to separate its exploration and production business from its drilling business.[2] In September 2002, shareholders of Helmerich & Payne received shares in Cimarex.[3]
In 2005, the company acquired Magnum Hunter Resources in a $2.1 billion transaction.[4]
In 2008, the company bought 38,000 acres in Oklahoma from Chesapeake Energy for $180 million.[5]
In 2012, the company sold assets in Texas for $294 million.[6]
In 2014, Cimarex acquired assets in the Cana-Woodford, including 140 billion cubic feet equivalent of proved reserves and 50,000 net acres, in a $249 million transaction.[7]
In 2018, the company sold assets in Ward County, Texas for $570 million.[8]
In March 2019, the company acquired Resolute Energy for $1.6 billion.[9]
In October 2021, the company was acquired by Cabot Oil & Gas, forming Coterra.[10][11][12]
