In 2014, Cimarex acquired assets in the Cana-Woodford, including 140 billion cubic feet equivalent of proved reserves and 50,000 net acres, in a $249 million transaction. [7]
In 2018, the company sold assets in Ward County, Texas for $570 million. [8]
In March 2019, the company acquired Resolute Energy for $1.6 billion. [9]
