(Reuters) - Halcon Resources Corp <HK.N>, which produces oil in Texas and North Dakota, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Wednesday.

The company listed assets and liabilities in the range of $1 billion to $10 billion, according to a filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. http://bit.ly/2ad3wX1

In May, Halcon stated it intends to file for a prepackaged bankruptcy that would wipe out $1.8 billion in debt and help it survive the drop in crude prices.
