Petrohawk Energy

Petrohawk Energy was an oil and natural gas company based in the United States that focused on extracting hydrocarbons through shale and other formations. It used hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to access energy reserves deep underground. The company aimed to increase production efficiently and responsibly, contributing to the U.S. energy supply. In 2011, it was acquired by BHP Billiton, a global resources company, and gradually integrated into its operations. Overall, Petrohawk played a role in the U.S. shale boom, helping to tap into abundant domestic energy resources.
