- Escalera Resources Co. (ESCSQ) is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production, and sale of natural gas and crude oil primarily in the Rocky Mountain basins of the western United States; it focuses on coalbed methane natural gas projects such as the Atlantic Rim in south central Wyoming and the Pinedale Anticline in the Green River Basin, with additional acreage in the Greater Green River Basin of Wyoming and the Huntington Basin of Nevada; the company operates producing wells in Wyoming and Oklahoma, gathers and transports third-party gas via its intrastate pipeline, and targets energy markets in these regions. Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Escalera Resources Co. was formerly known as Double Eagle Petroleum Co., changing its name in March 2014 to reflect its growth strategy. In November 2015, the company filed a voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado, seeking relief to explore asset liquidation or restructuring options while continuing operations as debtor-in-possession; its shares trade nominally on OTC Markets as preferred stock Series A with minimal activity and value as of late 2025, reflecting its distressed status post-bankruptcy without recent public reports of emergence, acquisitions, or operational expansions.
