Source-derived summary

Mammoth Resource Partners, Inc, is a private company specializing in oil and natural gas exploration in the Appalachian Basin of the United States. It is majority owned by CEO and founder Roger L. Cory. Daniel R. Northcutt is the president and chief operating officer. Its litigation problems began almost immediately. These legal issues continued with various private settlements and included a federal trial, alleging various securities violations and fraud.

Company information

Since inception, Mammoth Resource Partners has completed 73 wells for oil and natural gas. Of the last 40 consecutive drillings, Mammoth Resource Partners has struck producible hydrocarbons in all wells. While Mammoth explored for oil in its first years, today the company focuses almost exclusively on exploration of natural gas.

The company employs approximately 30 men and women at its headquarters and field services offices. Mammoth Resource Partners owns or controls the mineral rights to over 15,000 acres (61 km2) of Appalachian Basin property and is quickly becoming one of the region's top natural gas producers.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Mammoth Resource Partners” is business in Kentucky, US. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Mammoth, Resource and Partners, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 167-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2004. For this dossier, Mammoth, Resource and Partners is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “business in Kentucky, US” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6745871. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
