Overview
Coterra Energy was a U.S.-focused independent exploration and production company engaged in finding, developing and producing oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. Its core operating areas were the Permian/Delaware Basin in west Texas and southeast New Mexico, Pennsylvania’s Marcellus Shale, and Oklahoma’s Anadarko Basin.[1][2]
Coterra was formed in 2021 through the combination of Cabot Oil & Gas and Cimarex Energy.[3] For FY2025, it reported $7.645 billion in operating revenue and 1,075 employees as of December 31, 2025; these figures describe the company before its combination with Devon Energy, which Coterra’s website says was completed on May 7, 2026.[4][5][6] [1][2][4][3][5][6]
Products & services
Coterra Energy’s products are crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (NGLs) produced from its upstream operations. In 2025, average production was 160 thousand barrels of oil per day, 2,975 MMcf of natural gas per day, and 127 thousand barrels of NGLs per day, totaling 782 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day.[7] [7][7][7][7]
Geographic presence
Coterra Energy Inc.’s operations are concentrated in three U.S. regions: the Permian Basin of west Texas and southeast New Mexico, the Marcellus Shale in northeast Pennsylvania, and the Anadarko Basin in Oklahoma. In the Permian, assets are principally in the western Delaware Basin, including Culberson and Reeves counties, Texas, and Lea and Eddy counties, New Mexico. Marcellus properties are principally in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania; Anadarko assets are in Oklahoma.[2][8][9][10]
In 2025, the Permian, Marcellus, and Anadarko regions accounted for 46%, 44%, and 10% of Coterra’s oil-equivalent production, respectively.[11][9][10]
The company is headquartered in Houston, Texas, with regional offices in Midland, Texas; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Tulsa, Oklahoma, as well as field offices near its operations. At December 31, 2025, 327 of its 1,075 employees were in Houston, 268 in regional offices, and 466 in production field locations; the reported figures do not further allocate regional-office or field employees by location.[12][13]
Coterra reports selling substantially all production to domestic and international customers, but does not specify foreign destinations or provide a geographic revenue breakdown in the cited disclosure.[14] [2][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][5][5]
Business segments
Coterra Energy reports one business segment: the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas. It manages its properties as a whole rather than reporting its operating areas as separate segments, and does not provide revenue by basin.[15]
For the year ended December 31, 2025, its three principal operating areas contributed approximately the following shares of total net production, measured in barrels of oil equivalent: Permian Basin, 46% (357 MBoe/d); Marcellus Shale, 44% (342 MBoe/d); and Anadarko Basin, 10% (82 MBoe/d). These percentages are approximate production shares, not revenue shares.[2][9][10]
The Permian operations are concentrated in the Delaware Basin of West Texas and southeast New Mexico, targeting the Wolfcamp Shale and Bone Spring formation.[8] Marcellus operations are principally in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, in the dry-gas window.[9] Anadarko operations are in Oklahoma, with development focused mainly on the Woodford Shale and Meramec formations.[10] [15][2][9][10][8]
Company history
Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation, one of Coterra’s predecessors, was incorporated in 1989. Cimarex’s predecessor was formed in 2002 as a subsidiary of Helmerich & Payne; it acquired Key Production and was spun off as an independent company that year.
On May 23, 2021, Cabot and Cimarex announced an all-stock merger of equals. The transaction closed on October 1, 2021, creating Coterra Energy Inc. and bringing the two companies together under the Coterra name.
Coterra expanded its Permian Basin interests in January 2025, closing an acquisition of property interests for $1.5 billion and acquiring Franklin Mountain Energy for $2.5 billion. In 2026, Coterra agreed to an all-stock combination with Devon Energy; the merger was completed on May 7, with the combined company operating as Devon Energy. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][3][24]
