By GlobalDataCallon Petroleum expects the acquisition of Primexx to increase its Delaware Basin presence to more than 110,000 net acres.
It is also expected to contribute to the firm’s efforts to transition to larger, more capital efficient development projects in the Delaware Basin.
Callon Petroleum president and CEO Joe Gatto said: “The Primexx transaction checks every operational and financial box on the list of compelling attributes of consolidation.
“The asset base adds substantial current oil production and a top-tier inventory to our Delaware portfolio, and fits squarely into our model of scaled, co-development of a multi-zone resource base.
“Our integrated, future development plans will benefit greatly from the combined Delaware scale and we expect to generate approximately 30% more adjusted free cash flow from the third quarter of 2021 through year-end 2023 under our conservative planning price assumptions.”
The deal is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. It is slated to complete in the fourth quarter of 2021.
