Comstock Resources (CRK) has announced a $1.65 billion strategic partnership with Azerbaijan's SOCAR and a $450 million drilling joint venture with Jerry Jones. The deals will reduce pro forma net debt from $3.1 billion to $1.5 billion, provide LNG marketing capabilities, and fund drilling of 27 wells in the Haynesville while CRK retains operational control. The SOCAR transaction is expected to close by year-end 2026.
RPC Inc. reported Q2 2026 sequential revenue growth of 1% to $461 million with adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 250 basis points to 14.3%, driven by strong execution in downhole tools and coiled tubing services. However, wireline revenues declined 16% due to competitive pricing pressures and customer activity reductions. The company raised 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $170-190 million and announced CEO Ben Palmer's retirement by year-end after 30 years with the company. Management remains cautious on near-term activity levels despite supportive oil prices, citing geopolitical uncertainty affecting operator investment decisions.
