XTO Energy Inc. on Thursday made a filing with federal regulators to replace its existing universal shelf registration, which is expiring.

The registration lets the company issue securities, such as stocks and bonds, although it currently doesn't have plans to do so.

Shares of XTO Energy, an oil and natural gas producer based in Fort Worth, Tex., rose 12 cents to close at $40.16 in the regular session Thursday. After hours, following the announcement of the shelf registration, the stock fell 18 cents to $39.98.
