HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Aug 14, 2017) -  Rockcliff Energy announced today that in addition to its pending acquisition of Samson's East Texas and North Louisiana properties it has acquired approximately 60,000 net acres of Haynesville Shale rights; the seller's name and terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The properties, which are substantially all held by production, are located primarily in Harrison and Panola Counties, Texas.
