Marathon Oil Corp. has completed its acquisition of Ensign Natural Resources’ Eagle Ford assets for $3 billion cash, the company said Dec. 27.

"This acquisition satisfies every element of our disciplined acquisition criteria" said chairman, president, and CEO Lee Tillman. "It's immediately accretive to our key financial metrics, it will drive higher shareholder distributions consistent with our operating cash flow driven Return of Capital framework, it's accretive to our inventory life with attractive locations that immediately compete for capital and it offers truly compelling industrial logic given our existing Eagle Ford footprint and our track record of execution excellence in the play."

The acquisition adds 130,000 net acres (99% operated, 97% working interest) in acreage adjacent to Marathon Oil’s existing Eagle Ford position. Ensign’s estimated fourth-quarter production will average 67,000 net boe/d, including 22,000 net bbl/d of oil, Marathon said.
