About Silverbow Resources, INC.

SilverBow Resources, Inc. (ticker SBOW) was a U.S.-listed independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company traded on the NYSE in the United States (United States). Before its acquisition, the company was headquartered in Houston, Texas, and its operating model was focused on upstream hydrocarbon production, with a concentrated asset base in South Texas, primarily in the Eagle Ford shale and Austin Chalk. That regional focus made SilverBow a specialized E&P player rather than a diversified energy group. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/351817/000035181723000050/sbow_ars04032023c.pdf?utm_source=openai)) Historically, SilverBow built its business around acquiring, developing and producing oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. Its core lines of business included drilling, completions, reservoir development and the monetization of production from acreage in a basin known for established takeaway infrastructure and repeated development opportunities. SEC filings and company materials show that SilverBow was an independent oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, and that it had generated material production volumes prior to the strategic transaction completed in 2024. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/351817/000035181723000050/sbow_ars04032023c.pdf?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, SilverBow’s appeal came from its concentrated South Texas operating footprint. A focused position in the Eagle Ford can support operating leverage through infrastructure density, repeatable drilling inventory and proximity to major market outlets. At the same time, the company remained highly exposed to commodity-price volatility, well-performance variability and capital discipline requirements. In that sense, SilverBow competed in the mid-cap U.S. upstream energy segment alongside other independent producers with comparable basin exposure and a similar emphasis on returns, free cash flow and reserve replacement.

The July 2024 transaction closed ahead of the originally discussed timetable, and later Crescent filings confirm that SilverBow’s assets and subsidiaries were folded into Crescent’s structure. For investors, this means SBOW should be viewed as a historical listed issuer rather than an ongoing standalone public company.
