HOUSTON, July 26, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rosetta Resources Inc. (Nasdaq:ROSE - News) ("Rosetta" or the "Company") today announced a temporary interruption to a portion of daily production from its Gates Ranch assets in the Eagle Ford shale in South Texas due to an operational upset at a gathering and processing facility owned by a midstream service provider. Volumes of approximately 75 million cubic feet of net equivalent daily production have been curtailed since July 20, 2011. A second midstream service provider continues to take the balance of field production. We expect a partial return of service in the next few days and a return to full service shortly thereafter. The Company will provide an update if conditions change, or when plant operations return to normal and production curtailments end.
