History

Resolute was founded as a private company in 2004 to acquire and operate large oil and gas properties, with particular focus on oil. Resolute’s broad range of expertise allows it to manage a complex enterprise and to undertake complex transactions. Management’s exceptional track record of financial and operational success, combined with its deep ties to virtually all elements of the oil and gas community, allow Resolute to succeed in this currently unsettled environment.

Resolute has undertaken three significant acquisitions of producing properties. The first two, in 2004 and 2006, were its Aneth Field properties, located in the Paradox Basin of southeastern Utah. Resolute's Aneth Field properties are found in three federal producing units: Aneth, McElmo Creek and Ratherford, in which it is the operator and majority working interest owner. Most of Aneth Field lies on Navajo Nation land. The third transaction was the acquisition of properties in the Powder River Basin of northeastern Wyoming.
