(YUMAQ) is an independent exploration and production company engaged in the acquisition, development, and exploration of conventional and unconventional oil and natural gas resources primarily in the United States Gulf Coast region, including onshore properties in central and southern Louisiana, southeastern Texas, and positions in the Permian Basin of west Texas and Kern County, California; operated and non-operated assets in south Louisiana parishes such as Cameron, Lafourche, Livingston, St. Helena, St. Bernard, and Vermilion; non-operated interests in the East Texas Woodbine and Bakken Shale in North Dakota; utilizing 3-D seismic surveys to target formations including Austin Chalk, Tuscaloosa, Wilcox, Frio, Marg Tex, Hackberry, and Miocene, with crude oil and natural gas sold to refineries and pipeline companies. Founded in 1909 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company operates within the energy minerals sector, focusing on oil and gas production for domestic markets. In recent years, Yuma Energy filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on April 15, 2020, which was converted to Chapter 7 liquidation on October 19, 2020, following minimal bids for its properties, marking a significant operational wind-down.
