DALLAS, Sept. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Hunter Resources, Inc., an oil-focused energy company headquartered in Dallas, Texas (www.energyhunter.energy), announced that it recently opened a divisional office in Houston, Texas.  Additionally, the Company recently appointed two new executives and a technical geological manager, all of whom will be based in the new Houston office.  The Company appointed H .C. "Kip" Ferguson, Executive Vice President of Exploration and Development, Brian G. Burgher, Senior Vice President of Land and Jason Wilson, Manager of Geology. The managerial appointments represent more than 75 years of combined energy industry experience. 

Gary C. Evans, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Energy Hunter Resources said, "It's an exciting time at Energy Hunter Resources.  Strong off the heels of our successful initial capital raise, our first acquisition, and the recently announced board of director appointments of Rajiv Modi and Joe McClaugherty, I'm pleased to announce the additional management appointments of Kip Ferguson, Brian Burgher and Jason Wilson."

Evans continued, "Kip, Brian and Jason bring a core set of skills to our Company that include acquisition and development (A&D) experience as well as previous due diligence experience related to more than a billion dollars of assets within our core operating regions.  Additionally, emphasis on capex analysis, land matters, legal issues, as well as extensive operational and geologic experience, will prove invaluable with respect to our future growth plans.  While these skill sets are critical at any stage of an oil and gas company's development, they are especially critical during the formation of a new company.  Our ability to successfully identify, acquire and develop undervalued assets with our team of professionals has enabled us to quickly build an initial land position that is very attractive, especially in light of today's low commodity price environment."

H. C. "Kip" Ferguson, III, is an oil and gas veteran of 28 years.  Throughout his career Ferguson's responsibilities have included business development, natural gas management, asset acquisition and divestiture, project planning, capex and budget analysis and hydrocarbon reserves management.
