Other companies include: Petron Energy II Inc., Cubic Energy Inc., FX Energy Inc., Daybreak Oil & Gas Inc., Dorchester Minerals LP, Warren Resources Inc., Panhandle Oil & Gas Inc, Earthtone Energy Inc. and Southwestern Energy Co. Outcome of ROR Focused Strategy Abraxas is committed to focusing on full cycle ROR development drilling in its core basins. The results of this focus, in addition to an active 2013 divestiture campaign which removed numerous low margin, high LOE barrels from the production base, continue to be reflected in the company’s financial statements. According to the February 2014 Oil and Gas Financial Journal, Abraxas ranked in the top ten amongst all exploration and production companies on an ROE basis for the quarter end September 30, 2013.
