The company generated revenue from the sale of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids produced from its interests, which were operated by third-party partners. It also pursued participation in new drilling projects to expand reserves and production. Magnolia was headquartered in the United Kingdom but held essentially all of its assets in the United States.
