MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nNorthern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE: NOG):\n<\/p>\nDELAWARE BASIN ACQUISITION<\/b><\/p>\n
\nNOG has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain non-operated interests in the Delaware Basin from Alpha Energy Partners (the \u201cSeller\u201d) for an initial purchase price of $157.5 million in cash, subject to typical closing adjustments. NOG expects to fund the acquisition with cash on hand, operating free cash flow and borrowings under NOG\u2019s revolving credit facility.\n<\/p>\n
\nNOG may deliver the Seller additional cash consideration depending on average front month NYMEX WTI pricing during the first six months of 2023. The amount will be determined on a sliding scale from zero additional consideration if such pricing is below $75.00 per barrel, up to $22.5 million of additional consideration if such pricing is at least $87.85 per barrel. The additional consideration, if any, would be paid in the third quarter of 2023.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe acquired assets are located in Lea and Eddy counties, NM and Loving County, TX, and include approximately 2,800 acres, 9.6 net producing wells, 2.8 net AFEs and wells-in-process and approximately 21.2 net undeveloped locations. The primary operator of the assets is Mewbourne Oil, one of the most cost efficient and active operators in the Northern Delaware Basin. Other operators include Conoco and EOG.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe effective date for the transaction is September 1, 2022, and NOG expects to close the transaction in December 2022. The obligations of the parties to complete the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.\n<\/p>\n
HEDGING UPDATE<\/b><\/p>\n
\nIn addition to its continuous hedging program, NOG has hedged, as standard practice, a significant portion of the production from the pending transaction. Updated hedge schedules can be found in NOG\u2019s related September Acquisition Presentation at http:\/\/ir.northernoil.com<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
