Black Stone Minerals, L.P. Announces New Development Agreement in the Shelby Trough with Revenant Energy and Amended Development Agreements with Aethon Energy
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2025-- Black Stone Minerals, L.P. (NYSE: BSM) ('Black Stone,' 'BSM,' or 'the Partnership') today announces that it has entered into a development agreement with Revenant Energy ('Revenant') with respect to the Partnership's expanded Shelby Trough Haynesville and Bossier acreage, primarily located in Angelina, Nacogdoches, and San Augustine counties in Texas. Separately, the Partnership has agreed to amend the existing development agreements with Aethon Energy ('Aethon') in Angelina and San Augustine counties. As part of this amendment, Aethon will return to the Partnership highly prospective mineral acreage to support and further accelerate another potential development program in the region. Management Commentary Thomas L. Carter, Jr., Black Stone Minerals' Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, commented, 'We are excited to partner with the Revenant Energy team, whose proven track record of development in the Shelby Trough establishes them as a solid operator for this asset. Through robust subsurface evaluation, we identified substantial areas of prospective minerals outside of the existing Shelby Trough development agreements. This new agreement covers approximately 270,000 gross and 95,000 net undeveloped acres with significant resource potential that we expect to benefit both companies for decades. Additionally, the annual minimum well commitment at full ramp will ultimately about double the net well development of Black Stone's portfolio in the Shelby Trough. The acreage within this agreement comes from both legacy acquisitions and the recent targeted mineral acquisitions, which continue to enhance our existing Shelby Trough footprint. We have also finalized an amendment with Aethon that will release over 50,000 gross acres back to BSM in an area directly offsetting existing development, in exchange for a well commitment reduction. This released acreage provides a strong foundation that we plan to place under another new development agreement, further enhancing our outlook on total development activity in the Shelby Trough. With the combination of these executed agreements, proximity to the Gulf Coast market, and long-term natural gas pricing, we are confident in the growth opportunities the asset provides to our unitholders.' Revenant Development Agreement The Revenant Development Agreement covers approximately 270,000 gross acres across San Augustine, Nacogdoches, Angelina, Houston, and Trinity counties. BSM currently controls approximately 95,000 undeveloped net acres, with line of sight to additional acquisitions, all within this contractual area. The annual well commitments escalate over five years from a minimum of 6 wells per year starting in 2026 to a minimum of 25 wells per year and require test wells in certain areas in order to continue operating across the full footprint. Additionally, BSM expects to bring a non-operated working interest partner into the development. Aethon Amended Development Agreements The Partnership has entered into an amendment to the joint exploration agreements ('JEAs') with Aethon in Angelina and San Augustine counties which reduces the contract area to approximately 210,000 gross acres. Under the terms of the amendment, Aethon will release over 50,000 gross acres from the contract area, in exchange for reducing the annual well commitment to a total of 16 wells across both JEAs. As previously disclosed, the majority of farmout agreements covering non-operated working interests under these JEAs have terminated, and Aethon is absorbing that working interest as part of the amendment. About Black Stone Minerals, L.P. Black Stone Minerals is one of the largest owners of oil and natural gas mineral interests in the United States. The Partnership owns mineral interests and royalty interests in 41 states in the continental United States. Black Stone believes its large, diversified asset base and long-lived, non-cost-bearing mineral and royalty interests provide for stable to growing production and reserves over time, allowing the majority of generated cash flow to be distributed to unitholders.

AFFIDAVIT: Lufkin man arrested for murder after speeding dispute ends in shooting
LUFKIN, Texas (KETK) – A Lufkin man has been arrested for murder after allegedly fatally shooting a man during a speeding dispute on Wednesday night, an on-view arrest complaint from the Angelina County Sheriff's Office reveals. 'Dead men can't testify': East Texas judge accused of coercing plea with death threat According to an on-view arrest complaint, an Angelina County Sheriff's Office deputy responded to a call from a man identified as Phillip Hunter Gersbach of Lufkin, who told dispatch that he had shot someone at around 11:15 p.m. on Wednesday. A deputy responded to the scene after the suspect, identified as Phillip Hunter Gersbach, of Lufkin, called 911 on Wednesday at around 11:15 p.m. and told dispatch he had shot someone. The deputy noticed an unresponsive man on the ground and performed CPR on the victim while Gersbach remained near the patrol unit. Once the second deputy arrived, they took over chest compressions on the victim while the first deputy took the suspect into custody. The deputy put the suspect in the back seat of her patrol unit to deescalate the situation as a woman at the scene was 'irate and hostile.' EMS arrived on the scene and declared the man dead at 11:37 p.m. after no pulse could be found. The arrest document states that Gersbach was then read his Miranda rights and interviewed about what happened. In body camera footage described in Gersbach's arrest complaint, Gersbach stated that he was driving home when a woman stopped him for driving too fast past her home. A man then came up behind her and asked Gersach not to yell at his wife. Gersbach reportedly stated that he saw the man move something behind his back before pointing it behind Gersbach's headrest and saying he'd shoot. Man arrested for slapping Mabank 82-year-old, assaulting officer Gersbach said he felt threatened and shot the victim before he could shoot him through the headrest, according to the arrest document. The woman who waved Gersbach down was also interviewed and said the truck had been driving by their home fast multiple times when the victim asked her to stop the truck. The woman explained in the arrest document that they were in an altercation where Gersbach allegedly called kept calling her a 'b*tch' when the victim approached and said 'I'll f**cking shoot your *ss' to Gersbach several times. According to the woman, Gersbach shot the victim multiple times while sitting in the vehicle before he got out and shot him 'several more times.' Angelina County Sheriff's Office investigators then arrived to collect evidence from the scene and Gersbach's clothes. Gersbach was arrested for murder and booked into the Angelina County Jail, where he was released on Thursday after posting a $15,000 bond. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
