The deal represents Petro Harvester’s third acquisition in 13 months and its second in the Gulf Coast region, raising total asset purchases to more than $400 million. Petro Harvester was formed in mid-2010 and acquired Mississippi long-life, oil and gas properties from Comstock Resources Inc. in December 2010. The second acquisition was of Williston basin long-life oil properties in North Dakota last year.
