Acquisition Creates the Largest Consolidated
Acreage Position in the entire Eagle Ford Shale Basin
HOUSTON, May 20, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- WildFire Energy I LLC ("WildFire"), today announced
that it has entered into a definitive agreement for the acquisition
of approximately 237,000 net acres and interests in 465 wells in
the East Texas Eagle Ford from Apache Corporation and subsidiaries.
With the acquisition, WildFire will operate more than 2,000 gross
wells on over 850,000 net acres in the eastern Eagle Ford
encompassing Fayette, Bastrop, Lee,
Austin, Washington, Burleson, Brazos, Milam, Robertson, Madison, and Grimes counties of Texas. In addition, WildFire's total position
includes approximately 550,000 net acres prospective for the Austin
Chalk as well as acreage in the Woodbine, Buda, and Georgetown formations.
In Q1 2024, the acquired Apache assets averaged net daily
production of approximately 11,000 barrels of oil equivalent (Boe)
(67% liquids). WildFire estimates unaudited, net proved reserves
were approximately 40 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) as
of December 31, 2023. Pro forma for
the acquisition, WildFire's net daily production will surpass
50,000 barrels of oil equivalent (85% liquids).
The Apache acquisition follows WildFire's acquisition of
Chesapeake Energy Corporation's Brazos Valley region assets in the
eastern Eagle Ford in March 2023 and
allows WildFire to capitalize on its existing infrastructure and
scale in the region. WildFire previously acquired MD America
Energy, LLC in March 2022 and
Hawkwood Energy, LLC in August 2021,
which began the process of consolidating the eastern Eagle Ford
basin.
"This acquisition of adjacent assets presented us with a
strategic opportunity to continue consolidating the basin," said
Steve Habachy, President and Chief
Operating Officer of WildFire. "With a total of more than 850,000
net acres, we have built a premier contiguous asset base, making
WildFire the largest operator in the entire Eagle Ford trend."
