Entransco, Inc.

DEWEY, OK / ACCESSWIRE / July 8, 2019 / Entransco, Inc., an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of legacy oil and natural gas properties containing established production with proven reserves, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of Gateway Resources USA, Inc. Through this acquisition, Entransco significantly increases its asset base and strengthens its position in the oil and gas market, thereby creating added value for its shareholders.

About the Acquisition

Gateway Resources USA, Inc. (“Gateway”) is a licensed oil and gas operator in both Kansas and Oklahoma with annual operating revenue of approximately $3.3 MM. Gateway owns and operates 457 producing oil and natural gas wells, over 100,000 acres of oil and gas leases contained within a 30-mile-wide by 105-mile-long corridor between Tulsa, Oklahoma and Independence, Kansas. Gateway operates approximately 1,200 miles of natural gas gathering pipelines and gas processing systems and markets its produced gas through delivery points into several intrastate and interstate pipelines.

Jim Kitchel, Chief Executive Officer of Entransco, stated, “We are excited and optimistic about adding Gateway to our company’s portfolio. We believe the Gateway acquisition will provide us with multiple high ROI oil and gas development projects that will help propel Entransco’s continued growth going forward”.

Mr. Kitchel further stated, “Both Blaine Hanks and Doug Lamb have done an amazing job of operating the Gateway assets over the past few years in a challenging oil and gas sector economy. It isn’t often that good friends can come together and work to create the potential for substantial growth and value for their company and shareholders. It’s a privilege to now be aligned and in business with men of this caliber.”

Doug Lamb was previously the Operating Manager of Gateway and has been named Interim CEO of Gateway by Entransco’s Board of Directors. Mr. Lamb added, “It makes strategic sense for Entransco to acquire Gateway. Gateway has some great assets just waiting to be fully exploited which include existing oil and gas wells with “behind-the-pipe” undeveloped pay zones, producing oil fields in the primary production phase that need to be re-pressured, and many un-developed drill sites offsetting existing wells. Entransco can convert these opportunities into long-term economic benefit by utilizing its access to capital markets, its existing and capable personnel, and its strong development capabilities to establish itself as a dominant producer of oil and gas in the region.”
