DENVER, CO AND FRISCO, TX, April 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BKV Corporation (NYSE: BKV) (“BKV”) and Comstock Resources, Inc. (NYSE: CRK) (“Comstock”) today announced an exclusive, non-binding agreement for BKV to develop carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (“CCUS”) projects at two of Comstock’s natural gas processing facilities in its Western Haynesville operating area.
As part of the agreement, the companies plan to develop CCUS injection wells to permanently sequester carbon dioxide waste produced at Comstock’s Bethel and Marquez natural gas processing and production facilities in Texas, as well as other locations. The terms of the prospective projects are subject to further negotiation and execution of one or more definitive agreements.
The agreement seeks to combine BKV’s proven and innovative CCUS capabilities with Comstock’s position as a leading producer in the Haynesville shale, a premier natural gas basin in Northwest Louisiana and East Texas with direct access to the high value Gulf Coast markets and LNG corridor.
“BKV is proud to bring our proven track record to the table as we deliver innovative solutions that meet rising energy demand while managing carbon emissions,” said Chris Kalnin, CEO of BKV. “Collaborating with a premier partner like Comstock is a compelling opportunity to showcase how our CCUS portfolio can enable other natural gas producers to utilize low-carbon infrastructure and operate more sustainably. We view carbon capture as essential to the future of responsible energy, and this collaboration reflects a shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the long-term viability of natural gas. We’re excited about what we can achieve together.”
“Industrial customers desire scalable, low-carbon energy solutions, and enhancing Comstock’s infrastructure with innovative CCUS partnerships will deliver exactly that,” said M. Jay Allison, CEO of Comstock Resources. “We are excited about the opportunity to collaborate on carbon capture projects that align with Comstock’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. BKV’s leadership in carbon capture and storage innovation makes them the ideal partner for executing our vision.”
