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

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.
