PROFILE |
 |
Houston, we have a platform. Houston Exploration performs some of its gas and oil exploration, development, and production from offshore platforms in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico, although 59% of its reserves are located onshore. The company offsets the risks of its high-potential Gulf operations by holding lower-risk onshore properties and operating 85% of its production from interests in about 1,100 producing wells. Houston Exploration's proved reserves (94% of which are natural gas) total 562 billion cu. ft. of natural gas equivalent. Its biggest customer, Dynegy, accounts for 23% of sales. THEC Holdings, a unit of New York-based utility KeySpan, owns 68% of the company.
