Comstock Resources has lined up a $1.65 billion strategic partnership with SOCAR and a $450 million Jerry Jones-backed drilling venture, providing capital to reduce debt and accelerate development of its Haynesville assets. The drilling JV will support 27 wells over the next 12 months, including 18 in the Western Haynesville, creating near-term opportunities across drilling, completions, production services and midstream infrastructure.

Comstock Resources sold a 27% stake in its midstream subsidiary, Pinnacle Gas Services, to Sixth Street for $600 million, valuing the business at approximately $2.2 billion while allowing Comstock to retain operational control. The transaction strengthens Comstock’s balance sheet, eliminates Pinnacle’s debt and preferred equity, and highlights growing confidence in the Western Haynesville’s ability to supply natural gas for LNG exports, power generation, and data center demand.

Comstock Resources used its Q3 2025 earnings call to deliver a clear message: the Haynesville—especially the Western Haynesville—is the company’s future, and one of the most strategically important natural gas plays in North America.
