Vickery Energy Partners, LLC has acquired natural gas assets from Tribune Resources, LLC for approximately $400 million. The transaction, closed on January 8, 2026, encompasses around 38,000 net acres in Wetzel, Tyler, Harrison, and Doddridge counties, West Virginia, with more than 200 million cubic feet equivalent per day (MMcfe/d) of net production.
Vickery, backed by Quantum Capital Group and led by former Tug Hill executives, aims to leverage these assets to grow its production base and development opportunities in both the wet and dry areas of the Marcellus Shale. This acquisition highlights the trend of consolidation in the Appalachian gas sector and positions Vickery for long-term growth amid rising demand for natural gas. The deal is seen as a strategic investment in U.S. energy security, with potential benefits for local economies through job creation.
