Barrow Shaver Resources Company LLC, a Tyler, Texas-based independent oil and gas exploration and production company founded in 1989, was forced into involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy on July 23, 2024, when six oilfield service creditors filed a petition asserting $8,454,981 in combined trade claims. The company, which operated 76 producing wells generating approximately $14 million in annual revenue with just seven employees, consented to relief and converted the case to Chapter 11 on August 19, 2024, in the Southern District of Texas (Case No. 24-33353) before Judge Alfredo R. Perez. The case was complicated by $2.5 million in production revenue withheld by Plains Marketing after two creditors asserted mineral liens, sparking an interpleader action, and by allegations of title defects and insider failures to pay Joint Interest Billings related to the Hidden Rock Field operations in Cass County. Five adversary proceedings were filed covering lien validity, partnership ownership disputes, and mineral interest claims. After a 16-month process, substantially all assets were sold to TexOil Investments, LLC via emergency 363 sale on November 19, 2025. Post-sale administration continues with settlement procedures established in December 2025 to resolve the remaining adversary proceedings and contested claims.
