The acquisition includes all assets, property, staff and commitments of GPUSA. The producing assets are located in the shallow water portion of the Gulf of Mexico, offshore of the state of Louisiana.

“This is an excellent fit for purpose acquisition for Hillcrest” states Don Currie, the Company’s CEO and Chairman. “The assets are complementary to our current producing assets in Texas, and contain the potential for future production growth through development drilling and well recompletions. Commensurate with this acquisition, Hillcrest will relocate its operations headquarters to Houston.”
