Chord Energy以 5.5 亿美元的价格从埃克森美孚子公司 XTO Energy收购威利斯顿盆地的资产。

该公司 9 月 15 日表示，Chord 将利用现金和借款为此次收购提供资金。

该交易包括威利斯顿盆地核心区的 48,000 净英亩（86% 的运营权益）和 72 个净运营 2 英里地点。

Chord 预计近期产量平均约为 9,000 桶油当量/天（78% 为石油）。

Chord 总裁兼首席执行官丹尼·布朗 (Danny Brown) 表示：“所收购的资产位于威利斯顿盆地最好的区域之一，并且与 Chord 现有的业务有很大的重叠，为长距离开发奠定了基础。”

该交易预计将于今年年底完成。

截至第二季度，Chord在威利斯顿盆地拥有约130万净英亩的油田。平均产量为27.5万桶油当量/天（56%为石油）。

总部位于休斯顿的 Chord 公司由Whiting Petroleum 和 Oasis Petroleum于 2022 年合并而成 ，专注于开发巴肯油田。

去年，该公司以 40 亿美元收购了Enerplus Corp，从而在巴肯地区实现了规模扩张。

埃克森美孚已出售其在威利斯顿盆地的部分资产，因为该公司优先投资二叠纪盆地。

Chord 于 2023 年以 3.75 亿美元现金收购了 XTO Williston Basin 的部分资产。

据报道，埃克森美孚  去年正在为其部分巴肯资产寻找买家。

Chord Energy is acquiring Williston Basin assets from Exxon Mobil subsidiary XTO Energy for $550 million.

Chord will finance the acquisition with cash on hand and borrowings, the company said Sept. 15.

The deal includes 48,000 net acres (86% operated working interest) in the Williston Basin core and 72 net operated 2-mile locations.

Chord expects near-term production to average around 9,000 boe/d (78% oil).

“The acquired assets are in one of the best areas of the Williston Basin and have significant overlap with Chord's existing footprint, setting the stage for long-lateral development,” said Chord President and CEO Danny Brown.

The deal is expected to close by the end of the year.

Chord held approximately 1.3 million net acres in the Williston Basin as of the second quarter. Production averaged 275,000 boe/d (56% oil).

Houston-based Chord, formed through the 2022 merger of Whiting Petroleum and Oasis Petroleum, has focused on developing the Bakken play.

The company got larger in the Bakken last year through a $4 billion acquisition of Enerplus Corp.

Exxon Mobil has sold parts of its legacy Williston Basin position as the company prioritized investment in the Permian Basin.

Chord acquired certain XTO Williston Basin assets in 2023 for $375 million in cash.

Exxon Mobil was reportedly seeking a buyer for some of its Bakken assets last year.
