Eleven companies that were previously included
in the OGJ150 no long appear. Alamo Energy Corp.,
Gasco Energy Inc., Sun River Energy Inc., and Texas
Vanguard Oil Co. terminated their registration to the
US Securities & Exchange Commission. Baron Energy Inc., Glen Rose Petroleum Corp., John D. Oil &
Gas Co., and Savoy Energy Corp. dropped off the list
due to no filings in a long time. EPL Oil & Gas Inc.
merged with Energy XXII, which is incorporated in Bermuda.
GeoMet Inc. and Highmount Exploration & Production LLC

Changes to the group
Seven companies appear in the OGJ150 for the
first time. The highest-ranking of these, California Resources, sits at No. 21 with yearend 2014
assets totaling $12.49 billion. The company, previously an Oxy subsidiary, began regular trading
on the New York Stock Exchange as a stand-alone
company in December 2014. The spin-off actually
explains why Oxy fell in some of the top 20 categories and California Resources made some of the
top 20 tables.
Other newcomers include Memorial Resources Development Corp., Sanchez Energy Corp., RSP Permian Inc.,
