SM Energy 以 25.5 亿美元收购 XCL Resources，进军尤因塔盆地

XCL：尤因塔先锋队

X2 团队将于 2​​024 年 10 月在犹他州以 26.4 亿美元的价格将资产出售给SM Energy和Northern Oil & Gas (NOG)。NOG 持有 XCL 尤因塔盆地资产 20% 的非经营性股份。

XCL 是 Uinta 含蜡原油田的领先开发商，该公司的产量从每天 10,000 桶增加到每天 60,000 桶。

其作业主要集中在富饶的 Uteland Butte 台地，即盆地最确定的目标。

XCL 在 Uinta 的 12 个地层中钻了 250 口井，包括 Douglas Creek、Castle Peak 和 Wasatch 等欠开发区域，证明了在扩大油气储量边界方面取得了早期成功。

前景广阔的叠层油气储量足以吸引SM和NOG进入一个全新的盆地。SM已在其新收购的犹他州资产下方发现了17个产油区。

目前，SM 已 在尤因塔的“上立方体”和“下立方体”进行了测试。较浅的上立方体包括下花园峡谷、三个道格拉斯溪台阶和一个下层未命名的黑色页岩，深度从 9,000 英尺到 10,000 英尺不等。

较深的下部立方体由 Castle Peak、Castle Peak 石灰岩、Uteland Butte、Wasatch 5 上部和下部以及 10,000 英尺至 11,500 英尺之间的 Wasatch 4 组成。

继XCL出售其资产后，Ovintiv以20亿美元的价格将其旗下的Uinta资产出售给了私人勘探与生产公司FourPoint Resources。Ovintiv的出售已于今年1月完成。

X2 Resources, led by the team that built XCL Resources, is targeting $500 million to multibillion-dollar acquisitions across “premier” oil and gas basins with backing from EnCap and other investors.

X2 Resources secured new equity capital commitments from EnCap Investments LP, Westlawn Group, Rice Investment Group (RIG) and its management team, the firms said April 24.

“X2 has a proven track record of excellence, and we believe the team is well positioned to capture a significant asset base and execute on a large-scale development program in an efficient and responsible manner to create value for its shareholders,” said EnCap Managing Partner Jason DeLorenzo.

“We are thrilled to be in partnership with EnCap, Westlawn, and RIG, and deeply appreciate their support and trust,” said X2 CEO Gray Lisenby.

Hart Energy has reached out to X2 and EnCap for more information about the new company.

Before leading XCL Resources, Lisenby served as CFO at natural gas producer Rice Energy. He was involved in Rice Energy’s $6.7 billion sale to EQT Corp. in 2017, according to investor filings.

The X2 team also includes CFO Nick Barham, COO Ryan Rogers and executive vice presidents Dan Shea and Matthew Jankovsky.

Vinson & Elkins LLP served as legal counsel to EnCap on the creation of the new firm. Winston & Strawn LLP served as legal counsel to Westlawn, and Latham & Watkins LLP served as legal counsel to X2.

SM Energy to Buy XCL Resources in $2.55B Entry into Uinta Basin

XCL: Uinta pioneers

The X2 team is coming off a $2.64 billion sale in Utah to SM Energy and Northern Oil & Gas (NOG) in October 2024. NOG took a 20% non-operated stake in XCL’s Uinta Basin assets.

XCL was the leading developer in the Uinta’s waxy crude oil play, where the company grew production from 10,000 bbl/d to 60,000 bbl/d.

Its operations focused primarily on the prolific Uteland Butte bench, the basin’s most established targets.

XCL drilled 250 wells across 12 of the Uinta’s formations, including underdeveloped zones such as Douglas Creek, Castle Peak and the Wasatch, demonstrating early success in extending the boundaries of the play.

The promising stacked pay was enough to lure SM and NOG into an entirely new basin. SM has identified 17 producing zones beneath its newly acquired Utah asset.

Now, SM has tests spread across the Uinta’s “upper cube” and “lower cube.” The shallower upper cube includes the lower Garden Gulch, three Douglas Creek benches and an underlying, unnamed black shale, ranging from 9,000 ft to 10,000 ft in depth.

The deeper lower cube consists of the Castle Peak, the Castle Peak limestone, Uteland Butte, the Wasatch 5 upper and lower and the Wasatch 4 between 10,000 ft and 11,500 ft.

Following on the heels of XCL’s sale, Ovintiv sold its Uinta asset to private E&P FourPoint Resources for $2 billion. The Ovintiv sale closed in January.
